Ford Fiesta for WRC Specifications

Abu Dhabi World Rally team will have no surprises to reveal when they reach for the World Rally Championship, as the world now knows what they are racing with. Ford officially releases the specifications of the new Fiesta that will run for the Abu Dhabi team.

The mechanics has been designed by M-Sport, which is also known to have designed some of the fastest machines on track. However, there are no drastic changes in the S2000 car, and is more or less the same it was during the recent Monte Carlo Rally held in 2010. Only the weight has been reduced, and some minor adjustments have been made to boost the performance.

The car carries four-cylinder engine with a horsepower of 300 and 330 pound-feet torque. Yet, even when the car has to carry a full time drive configuration, it weighs only about 2,645 pounds, which will certainly work in favor of the driver.

To quickly revive what the car has got, its equipped with 1.6 liter four-cylinder engine, Brembo brakes, X-Trac sequential transmission with six speeds, 300 bhp and a 2.1 steering rack. With such a powerful configuration, Ford Fiesta would be one of the favorites, if not the team.
