The new Ford cars are going to be "rally-bred"...

But the new 'Fiesta' is an EV so I cant see it being the base for a WRC rally car.

So was the Lancia Ypsilon at first with only EV, then they added 1.2 ice engine with hybrid (probably because they realized that sales will not be so good). Remember that Ford is quite stupid right now, they killed their most profitable cars, go with their heads into the wall with "only EV"... And when sales significantly dropped they reconsidered bringing Fiesta back. Of course they will probably realize that they should put also ice engine in it.

That Fiesta is ugly as sh!t. Sorry, but it is. At least they could try to make it prettier. Of course rally render looks fantastic, but original.. awww, I'm throwing up.

Why do such cars not sell, truly a mistery

It's sad and pretty pathetic that Ford (Europe) are planning just one new small hatchback and that an EV based on a Renault 5 platform.

And adding insult by calling all 5 planned new cars 'rally-bred' and to be 'sporty' just because they'll only tune the suspension.

Their previous great designers and engineers must be disgusted.
