Interesting... Looks a lot like a WRC STX2014... But we are not going the same way... I think this car will encounter same problems as we encounter with the 2013 version...

Interesting, they certainly addressed a lot of the small complaints around the wishbone pivots, steering and play in the outboard pivots. Didn't really deal with the big issue which was getting the car to behave on tight ultra-high grip tracks. It will definitely be a great asphalt car.

Very very very unlikely. There is frankly too much different between the 5 and 5Evo to warrant an upgrade pack. Pretty much the only parts to carry over are diffs, belts and some hardware.
I think you'll be suprised at how much stiffer the wider top deck makes the car. And there are also further options to stiffen the car more (3mm top deck, wishbone braces) etc. One of the key things for me is that you can now use thicker top decks, without having to hack the motor mount apart like on the 5. So a definite improved tuning option, IMO.

the EVO looks like a nice piece of kit! I like the improvements they made as they were really needed. I am definitely liking the options they are going to have for it with the different top decks and the stiffeners for the arms. just too bad I just bought the t4 14 the other day.

It's just been placed on The-Border. Not available just yet.
Doesn't make the T4 '14 a bad choice!
But I sure do like the new Mi5evo.
Don't know if the youtube video has been mentioned yet, but here it is:

Yeah it's great to see the difference between a rush launch and a planned launch: nice video's, marketing material, immediate availability of manuals, setup sheets (blank, carpet & tarmac setups), overall a very neat way to do it.

We (The-Border.com) already have them. And we can ship to the States of course 
The assembled cars will follow later though.
Sales are going alright it seems, but I don't think anybody expects the opposite, it's a good car.
Also;
The exploded view has been released, it's available on the Schumacher website or our own.
