Ford of Europe has finally unveiled their new Fiesta S2000 rally car. The car has been at the M-Sport design and research team for 9 months as they were trying to create something spectacular. The car is yet to be inspected by the FIA, but it has already been entered into a rally series which takes place in Scotland.

The official reveal of the Fiesta S2000 took place at M-Sport’s Cumbrian base in the UK.

“Today is a very exciting day for us. This is the first global rally car for Ford and M-Sport, I really believe that we have produced a fantastic rally car and this launch is a big step to seeing it out competing in rallies. It’s the first time in five years that we have been able to offer a Ford rally car that can challenge for overall victory in national championships across the world,” said Wilson.

Ford’s Fiesta S2000 will compete in international rally’s all over the world throughout the 2010 season. It will then participate in the S2000 cup as well.

“It’s a fantastic feeling today to see the car actually launched to the world after all the hard work and testing behind closed doors. Everyone at M-Sport has had to pull together in order to get the Fiesta S2000 finished in such a short period of time and it has been a great team effort to get to this point so quickly,” added M-Sport Technical Director Christian Loriaux.

“(…) We have made a very promising start in testing and I am more than pleased with the performance of the car so far; it will be interesting to see how the real pace of the car compares to the competition,” added the M-Sport technical.
