This is spec Fiesta built for rallying by Ford and the team. It's based on the same thing they've been running in Europe for the longest time. And correct the chirping sound is the turbo. About time that there is going to be a competitor to the Subaru...which is a bit boring now. Maybe it's just me and watching real Rallying in Europe for so long has made the Rally America stuff a bit second hand. Hopefully investing in Ken Block will bring the WRC to the mainland!

No sound deadening at all. They are completely gutted, cages built, suspension replaced, engine and tranny replaced, etc, etc. The basic shell is all that is OE.

Does anybody know how these rally cars are modified compared to the normal versions, or at least for this Fiesta? For instance, it sounds like they've removed quite a bit of sound-reducing bits and pieces. What a brilliant little Fiesta.
