Have we mentioned that we dig camouflaged rally cars? Love ’em. Can’t get enough of ’em. So you can imagine our joy when Hyundai cooked up another, and brought it to the most unlikely of places: a car show.

The vehicle in question is the new i20 WRC, the car with which Hyundai intends to challenge the 2017 World Rally Championship.

Like the new Citroën C3 WRC – also revealed at the Paris show (albeit in concept form) – it’s all flared wheel arches, oversized wings, air scoops, and attitude. And it looks downright awesome, even with (or perhaps because of) the partial camouflage, which is not something we’re used to seeing on the floor of a major auto show as much as we are, say, in spy shots, or manufacturer-issued teasers.

Will the look of the thing help it win any rallies or championships? Heck no, not even a little. But today it’s not competing in a rally. Today it’s sitting still on a show stand for us to look at it. And we like what we see.
