The Ford Fiesta RS WRC, which was developed from the standard Fiesta road car, is a bespoke rally car built by M-Sport for the works Ford Rally Team for use in the World Rally Championship. The new WRC regulations for 2011 required a turbocharged 1600cc; this engine is both reliable and powerful, keeping the flame-spitting character of the WRC cars intact. A number of teams now drive the Fiesta WRC in the World Rally Championship and it has scored several victories and been competitive with both the works rally team and a number of privateer teams.
Debuted by the MINI WRC team during the 2011 World Rally Championship, the MINI Countryman WRC is the first rally car to bear the MINI label in top level rallying since the 1960s. Much was made of this historical connection, with press events being undertaken using both the four wheel drive 300bhp 1,600 turbo charged MINI WRC, as well as historical forebear, the 1960s Cooper S.
