    M-Sport team principal Malcolm Wilson has described the overhaul planned for the Ford Fiesta RS World Rally Car in 2015 as the biggest in its history.

    Wilson promised no area of the car will be left untouched as M-Sport looks to end a winless spell that now stretches back more than two years.

    The heavily revised Fiesta will break cover on the Rally of Portugal in May.

    "The chassis remains the same with the new car, but the whole heart of the car is new," said Wilson.

    "These will be the biggest changes we've made to the car since we introduced it in 2011."

    A completely new engine is being readied at M-Sport's Cumbrian headquarters - the first time the two-time world champion team has developed the motor for its WRC challenger completely in-house.

    The 2015 Fiesta is already up and running and while Wilson admitted to a small delay, he remains confident the car will be ready in time for Portugal.

    "The engine has done a lot on the dyno," said Wilson. "We're just a little behind on the installation work, but the car's running a lot at Greystoke, so we're not too concerned at all."

    MW can build 100s of cars from scratch, replace every single bold and nut, but still not going to get it competitive.
    He has proven this very well for the last 20 years. I hope I'm wrong this time.

    The car is competitive. The main difference is the piece behind steering wheel!

    I think they've certainly done a good job there too, considering the market and their lack of factory backing. Let's be honest, if you take Ogier and Neuville out of the equation, and assume the other teams have first pick of 'other' drivers, I'd say Tanak and Evans are a fair shout.

    Great to see them evolve the car further, hopefully will keep it competitive for a while longer.

    Great to know that we have these amazing people here who have driven the Fiesta themselves and they know that the car is so competitive and the current drivers really suck.

    So how come MW won the manufacturer's Championship for Ford in 2006 & 2007 ?
