Discover the history
The Ford Fiesta R5 was designed as a rally car for competition in the R5 category of the World Rally Championship (WRC2), making its debut around 2013.
This rally car was equipped with a 1.6-liter EcoBoost turbocharged engine, initially delivering approximately 280 horsepower. Its all-wheel-drive (4×4) system provided exceptional traction across various rally terrains and conditions. The Fiesta R5 featured a five-speed sequential gearbox for quick gear changes.
The body of this vehicle was primarily based on the standard Ford Fiesta of its era but underwent extensive modifications and reinforcement to meet the safety and performance regulations specific to the R5 category. These enhancements included an aerodynamic kit, roll cage, and other rally-specific components.
The Fiesta R5 also boasted a high-performance adjustable suspension system, allowing it to adapt to the varying conditions encountered in rally racing.
The 2013 Ford Fiesta R5 participated in rally competitions worldwide and proved to be a competitive choice in the R5 category. Its design and performance characteristics made it a popular option for private rally teams and drivers seeking success in international rallying events.
