Ken Block's Rally America Fiesta wasn't scheduled to break cover until Wednesday, but a few images leaked out early. As a response, the Monster rally team released two high-res shots and a funky-jam video. Excuse us while we geek out. Need more? The Monster World Rally Team's official site goes live on Wednesday. Be sure to check the site then for more images, wallpapers, and coverage of next weekend's season-opening Sno*Drift rally.

Should be interesting.

 
ford just keeps distancing themselves from the rest of the american market. great moves by them recently

 
check out the side view pix closely. note how far aft the driver is located--way back behind the B pillar, right in the center of the cage structure with equal crumple zones ahead and behind the passengers. heh, it's pretty clear Ford's rally partners have some hard-won experience building cars that will survive amazing wrecks. Hella doods, I'd ride that thing into the inner circles of Hades!

 
My inner fanboy is screaming and crying like a little girl...

Is he gonna continue his Gymkhana videos?

Damn, it's just so painful to watch...

FINALLY!

sounds like you all haven't (barring Nigel), but I have been writing Ford for the last couple years asking for a US release of the Euro Fiesta. wicked little car.

I will probably own one once the subie hits 200+k

 
fake and gay.

well that rally Fiesta ain't fake and it def ain't gay...that thing has the capabilities to scare the living crap out of even crazy people. Block and Gelsomino are in for one big wild ride coming to grips widdat little wildcat 43 car.

and a real live US-spec 2011 Fiesta logged a real-world (and carefully instrumented) 37+ mpg in a new Road & Track comparo test, right up there with the hallowed VW TDI also tested. Fiesta got beatened mileage-wise by a Pious but only by a couple mpg. My effing WRX guzzles twice as much gas as the Fiesta.

However this evidently very real Fiesta won every single comparison of driving dynamics.

umm, guess I better start shopping for a Ford jacket, eh.

 
I have heard that Ford has some crazy Euro cars that we don't get. All the stupid **** that we have to deal with here keeps us from getting 300hp little cars. and no a WRX is not a little car. I'd totally buy one. Good for Ken. I wonder if he would have stayed had subaru stayed in WRC though...

 
Mean looking car...a wide body kit does wonders and I have read some of the tech that is under the hood and in the suspension...good stuff! I hope that we can get more than just #43...maybe Deegan will make the switch like Mirra did. I'm looking forward to seeing this car in July.

 
Does it come with the "light saber". lol

I am doubting we will see an awd turbo version of that here anytime soon...would be cool. I still like my subie more. I will be seeing it in july, wonder if he will have a chance at beatin pastrana now they have totally different cars.
