European Rallycross ain't your buddies WRX at the local fairground.
With all of this Fiesta Movement buzz, you'll soon being seeing a lot more Fiesta where ever you go. I think I am still seeing a little too much after last night. This time Fiesta comes to us in Rallycross format, 550hp rallycross format to be exact. If you aren't familar with european rallycross check YouTube with a rallycross search.
Autoblog has a sick gallery of the car and some specs. "Based on the new Fiesta, Ford's TeamRS and Swedish rally team MSE built this widebody monster around a 2.0-liter Duratec turbo four snorting E85 ethanol to produce a massive 550 horsepower. That's enough to push the 2,600-pound rally-prepped Fiesta up to sixty in a scant 2.8 seconds." Check out the rest of the post by Noah Joseph at Autoblog.
