After completing a detailed feasibility study, M-Sport has announced that it will be developing a Super 2000 car which will conform to the new FIA World Rally Championship sporting regulations and satisfy current Super 2000 customer market demand.
Work is due to commence soon on the car, which will be ready for homologation in January 2010. It will be based on the new Ford Fiesta and is set to be M-Sport’s first global rally car allowing competitors in all regional championships to compete for overall victory.
M-Sport has been Ford's partner in the WRC since 1997 and developed the record-breaking Focus RS WRC that won the world rally championship manufacturers' title for Ford in both 2006 and 2007. The knowledge gained from the development of that car and M-Sport’s expertise in design and engineering will be transferred to the creation of the next generation of S2000 car.
