Volkswagen, which has dominated the championship since its debut in 2013, will be trying for its third consecutive drivers' and manufacturers' title with its unchanged driver line-up of Sebastien Ogier, Jari-Matti Latvala and Andreas Mikkelsen.

The predominantly grey scheme replaces the red, white, blue and silver design of 2014. One constant is the branding of Kubica's long-time backers, Polish oil company Lotos.

Kubica is yet to reveal details of his WRC plans this season, but the Pirelli branding on this artwork would suggest a switch from his previous tire supplier, Michelin.
