The video of test drives gives an impression of the appeal of the new rally car.
The Ford Fiesta Rally3 is the first representative of its kind. M-Sport Poland in Krakow, the extended arm in Central Europe of the racing company M-Sport Great Britain responsible for the WRC events, is thus offering an important building block in the new FIA rally pyramid. This starts with production-based Rally5 cars and ends with World Rally Cars according to Rally1 regulations.
Intermediate stage from front-wheel drive to all-wheel drive
Thanks to its all-wheel drive, the Fiesta Rally4 with front-wheel drive, for example, is a cost-effective way of introducing amateur athletes to the next higher classes, Rally2 (previously R5) and WRC. These also have all-wheel drive, but significantly more power.
The car has been available to order since November 16 at a price of 99,999 euros plus tax and registration. The Fiesta Rally3 will receive FIA homologation on March 1 next year.
Customers will therefore have it in time for the start of the 2021 season. It is intended for national and regional rally championships, including those in Switzerland.
Sprint in five seconds
Under the hood is the sonorous 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine. Tuning by M-Sport elicits 215 hp and a maximum torque of 400 Nm from the three-cylinder engine. The fighting weight is 1210 kilograms. It reaches 100 km/h in around five seconds and then continues on to 185 km/h.
The rally suspension includes three-way adjustable shock absorbers on the front and rear axles. 17-inch wheels are fitted for asphalt tracks and 15-inch wheels for gravel.
