Ford has premiered the new M-Sport Ford Puma Rally1.
The rally car makes its premiere in a short video, filmed entirely on location at Ford's Craiova assembly facility in Romania - which this week celebrated its one millionth vehicle rolling off the production line.
Previously seen only in prototype form at the 2021 Goodwood Festival of Speed, the M-Sport Ford Puma Rally1 marks Ford's first foray into electrified motorsport globally and is set to make its competitive debut at the FIA World Rally Championship season-opening Monte Carlo Rally in January 2022.
The action‑packed new film, titled Ford Puma Hybrid Rally1 Gatecrashes the Party, sees the M-Sport Ford Puma Rally1 car brought to life in an electrifying lightning storm before delivering an exciting exhibition of precision driving around the Craiova assembly facility.
Ford colleagues also used their expertise to bring assembly robots to life for the film. Every actor featuring in the film is a Ford employee, including Craiova plant Manager and President of Ford Romania, Jo Payne.
The M-Sport Ford Puma Rally1 utilises a hybrid powertrain that captures energy during braking and coasting and stores it in a 3.9kWh battery, before using it to supplement the performance of a turbocharged 1.6-litre EcoBoost petrol engine with repeated boosts of up to three seconds from a 100kW electric motor.
The battery pack can be recharged using an external power source at the dedicated service points between stages, with a recharge taking approximately 25 minutes. Weighing 95kg, the hybrid system is liquid and air‑cooled and housed in a ballistic-strength casing to resist the impact of debris and g-forces in the event of an accident.
