Designed to the new-for-2022 FIA Rally1 technical regulations, the Ford Puma Hybrid Rally1 is M-Sport's top-specification rally car – producing in excess of 500 bhp and 550 Nm of torque from its Ecoboost Hybrid powertrain.

​

The Puma Hybrid Rally1 utilises an all new bespoke tubular T45 steel space frame chassis, providing an enhanced safety cell for the crew, a product of years of research and development undertaken in partnership with the FIA to further improve driver and co-driver safety standards. 

Marking a landmark moment in rally history, the Puma Hybrid Rally1 is the first hybrid FIA homologated car eligible for competition in the top category of the WRC. The battery-electric motor element of the hybrid powertrain captures energy during braking, storing it in a 3.9 kWh battery. The recovered energy can then be deployed via a 100kW electric motor in unison with the 1.6-litre EcoBoost engine to produce a total peak power output of over 500 bhp.

​

The Puma Hybrid Rally1 can also use the recovered energy for environmentally friendly and emission free purposes, running exclusively on its battery-electric motor. The all-electric mode helps to ensure minimal environmental impact when travelling through towns, cities, service parks and chosen sections between stages. Thanks to its plug-in hybrid technology, the battery pack can also be recharged using a bespoke charging unit back in the service park. In addition to the emission free electric powertrain, the internal combustion uses a fossil-free fuel that is made from 100% sustainable sources.
