M-Sport Unveils 2027 WRC Fiesta Kit Car Ahead of New Rally2 Regulations

M-Sport has unveiled its new Rally2 kit car designed to compete in the World Rally Championship’s top class starting in 2027. This development follows the FIA’s recent announcement introducing a homologated upgrade kit for Rally2 cars, priced at €7,500. The kit aims to enhance aerodynamic performance, bringing Rally2 vehicles closer to the capabilities of the upcoming WRC27 models.

The upgrade is part of a broader FIA initiative to balance competition by providing greater aerodynamic parity between Rally2 and WRC27 cars. M-Sport’s Fiesta kit represents the first tangible example of this new concept, signaling a significant step in the evolution of Rally2 machinery.

This homologation process allows manufacturers to offer cost-effective aerodynamic enhancements, ensuring that Rally2 cars remain competitive and relevant within the top-tier WRC framework. M-Sport’s move underscores its commitment to innovation and competitiveness under the new regulatory landscape.
