8 year old comment, but to answer your question: It's likely the research that costs a lot, as well as paying employees. Since you want the top of the line parts against competitors, you develop meticulous parts that push the limit of the rulebooks. Then you have top of the line engineers build them and put them together.
+Davie Blaze the rubber gas tank will be. Been always wanting to expand the fuel capacity to 100 gallons but always got deterred by the custom fabrication of sheet metal panels to create the extra gas tank. It would take hundreds of hours to cut and weld those sheet metal, but with a rubber fuel tank it's simply dropping it in and custom fabricating a hose connector. :]
Ford will provide a factory prepared car for about $750,000. That includes spare parts, some help from their car and set up engineers and a fair bit of assistance for repair, replacement and recovery of the car during competition. Just the car itself prepared for the current S2000 regulations runs about $450,000. Back in the WRC spec days things were a lot more expensive because of all the electronics and additional hydraulic systems allowed.
Maze Mynx I'm definitely thinking about it here. I installed a performance open ended cone intake and a performance chip. There's no way I'm ready to stop moding my car now.
Rally cars used to be around 500 HP. Look up videos from the Group B days of the 80's, when the regulations were much less strict. After some deaths of both drivers and spectators the FIA stopped allowing such high powered monsters in rallying. And as someone else said, HP isn't everything. Rally cars are tuned to have a good amount of torque available through the entire RPM range. Allowing them to get up and go quickly no matter what the current speed/gear/etc is.
WOW! Seriously, every 5th comment reads "Ken Block's car at 3:58!!!" I'm assuming you guys are very young fanboys so I'm not talking shit here or anything (let me say that first) Listen guys, I think Ken Block is very entertaining also. He sets up and runs practice runs with props literally hundreds of times before he films his runs. They edit the footage so that shots from multiple takes are combined to provide the most exciting end result video - very much the same method film makers use to make movies. Very cool, very entertaining. But he's NOT a rally driver - he's an entertainer who sells products like Monster energy drink. Rally drivers run real courses on unprepared stages under real world conditions. If a deer runs out and destroys your car and possibly takes your life it's considered fair game and part of the challenge. If it starts raining while you're in the middle of a stage you suck it up and finish the stage and change your tires, etc. at the end as you setup for the next stage. This, and this is merely my opinion, is the only REAL racing in the world (and I'm an American - most of my fellow countrymen consider 1/4mile drag racing or oval track left hand turns all day to be "real racing"). So no disrespect to Ken Block but what he does isn't even close to rally. The car makes and models just happen to be the same. BTW - How come none of you guys seem to remember the Toyota Celica WRC GT4 when your making your lists of all the sweet rally cars? At one time the Celica dominated rally and held the Pikes Peak Uphill Challenge Unlimited Class record for a decade (And he'll that record wasn't beaten until they mostly or completely paved the course - IMO that record will stand unbroken for all time because of this). Y'all Check out the Celica ST-165, St-185 and, my personal favorite, the ST-205! I think you'll dig it!
Neg Ative There is no such thing as a Toyota Celica WRC GTfour my friend. The GTfour was a Group A car, not a World Rally Car. The ST-205 was running together with the Corolla WRC in 1997-1998 until 1999 where only WRC cars could run. That's why there was never a homologation car for the Corolla, it wasn't needed anymore. There are quite some GTfour ST-205 I have seen in Greece running drag races. Since they were doing under 10 secs, I'd say they had 600-700 HP and up, but I'd say I prefer to see that car as a rally car. PS: I don't think there are cheap ST-205 for a rally car project, at least not in Europe... I think it would be cheaper to get a ready and running car like from rallycarsforsale(dot)com. There was a sweet WRX Subaru for like 12K EUR, prepared and ready. And many more of course...
Excellent video. I was a little surprised, though, that a rally car would be built through dismantling a road-ready production car, rather than off "raw" elements, such as unpainted and devoid of all the trimmings body-shell. Can't the manufacturer provide these to the rally tuner? Where's the sense in painting a car and equipping it with all the mats and panels when they are only going to be disassembled as soon as they reach the tuning company?
Hearing an American accent talk about what makes a rally car is comical, spent the whole video waiting to hear things like 'it has to have a V8', 'it has to be a stupid size & weigh more than a continent' & 'it isn't supposed to turn well'. It's like when Matt Le Blanc was on top gear lol.
anyone who watches this, just know this isnt a very good or accurate representation of the modifications done to a car to turn it into a rally car although some large points are significant, a lot of the information isnt quite accurate or in dept or correct whatsoever etc etc
it isn't completely remade they're working with something if you've got something to work with, it makes it much easier than just building a car from complete scratch upgrading is easier
R4R45 The vehicle needs to be a production model with a specific amount sold on the public market, that’s why all rally cars are built off of production cars.
It's probably marketing. They want the public to think the road Impreza, Focus, etc. is like the rally version so you will buy one. That is the cynical side of me talking.
They don't strip down a road going version normally, unless it's a privateer team. As this was the official Ford works team they started with just the bodyshell, hence why it wasn't painted at the start
It's two different worlds. you need balls if you travel 320km/h on a track 200 km/h on a stage with rocks and trees and people in the roadside, you need massive balls of steel
cause they have to use that ford fiesta, citroen ds3 or VW POLO to build WRC CARS and all of them are FWD stock.WRC FIA requires 1.6 turbo engines for actuall seasons. this cars are perfect for that i love subaru, but Subaru's age in WRC was a long time ago finished
You are talking about the rules from Group A. The reason why they use complete cars is because they are already road legal. And a rally car have to be road legal.
turbo boost, race gas, plus higher compression and other expensive bits raise the engine output. production cars are very conservative because they need to survive ham-fisted drivers for 200K miles. These rally cars only need to last for a week long rally before they get rebuilt.
£180,000 to buy but you can build for much less, worse quality of course. Or you can pick up a rally ready impreza for about £25,000. Hope this helped.
Wouldn't it be much easier to order just the shells of vehicles from the manufacturer than to take a complete car and strip it down to create the same shell? I don't get it. :d
is that how they make theese small pocket monsters 4 wheel drive, in that case. sadev in my ford fiesta when i get it, if i get it (sadev makes 4wd sýstems and gearboxes and diffs and so on)
#Justin6623 Ford is as good as mitsubishi ans subaru... not sure but it has even more wins! Maybe you can split between legendary rally cars (Lancia, Audi, Mini, Alfa) and excellent rally cars (Ford, Mitsubishi, Subaru, Citroen, Peugeot)
Seems like such a waste of parts and time to remove all the stock stuff. Why don't they just get the chassis and shell and the engine block since the rest of the car built from either aftermarket or custom made parts? Is that part of the rules. I thought it just had to be a car that is in production. I don't think there is a limit to the horsepower just engine size and number of pistons. Just think is 500 HP on that light car gonna be better than 300. Plus gas consumption takes time to refuel.
Never knew they used rubber fuel tanks
Its an important part of rally
Lot of times you'll puncture a steel gas tank by taking jumps too hard
@@dustinjames1268 Actually most fuel tanks in cars in FIA sanctioned motorsports are vulcanized rubber.... otherwise racers like Grosjean would be dead
@@shawnramito4863
That too
It's not just about leakage but also to prevent fires in the event of an accident
It's crazy how many modifications have to be made for this kind of racing but it's also necessary

That is absolutely necessary in a 198+ mile per hour lap in an F1 or a hypercar or something that has to survive jumps like a rally car

How you turn a 20/30 thousand dollar car to a 200 thousand dollar car
yeah, it only takes $400,000 of custom parts and 3,000 hours. :^)

I learned something new from this video: 4-wheel transmission and rubber fuel tank. I'm so gonna get one for my FWD car. :]
Its not that easy lmao

Well... At least I'm not the only person thinking of AWD swapping a FWD
there isn`t a thing called a 4 wheel transmission, its a rear differential
The M Sport HQ is so iconic. I want to move to Europe just to have access to all the affordable rally parts and races. Would love an R2 Fiesta.

They have tight restrictions on how powerful the car can be too, think the max is around the 300bhp area, RallyX cars, however are around 600bhp
It's not "rally racing". It is rallying. There's "rallying", and there's "racing". They're two separate things.

Why buy the original car if it is only going to be completely remade? Why not just build your own body if that's all that is left from the original?
it isn't completely remade

Wouldn't it be more practical to get unpainted car shell from the factory instead getting the whole car and then stripping it down/removing the paint?
300 hp from a 1.6L is pretty good.. 89hp stock
Did you guys made that compact makes the car 2 wheel drive car to a 4 wheel drive specialy desing to rally cars...... i mean light weighted ?......

4:36 holy shit i did not know that 😂
0:50 “tubular roll cage” 🤣🤣tf
how they when from 90 to 300hp besides the weight loss and the cam shalft, pistons,and the supercharger???
turbo bro.
The old BMW I4 F1 engine made almost 1000 hp per liter
You dont gain hp through weight loss
turbo boost, race gas, plus higher compression and other expensive bits raise the engine output. production cars are very conservative because they need to survive ham-fisted drivers for 200K miles. These rally cars only need to last for a week long rally before they get rebuilt.
Thomas Gionet Those high HP BMW qualifying engines were lucky to last a 30 minute session before grenading themselves in spectacular fashion.
And Ford also made a Group B car, the RS200.

How much does it cost to buy or build one of these?
£180,000 to buy but you can build for much less, worse quality of course. Or you can pick up a rally ready impreza for about £25,000. Hope this helped.
Half a million bucks... literally, well if it's a world rally car spec, you could go much less for an R5 or an R2 spec from M-Sport.
nice car
i spy with my little eye Ken Block's Focus WRC
yes so do i, well spotted man
And this is a WRC car sooooo how did they get this information?
wow. how much would that cost?
The work of my dreams.. Rally or F1, is the same! *-*
They should get in the factory while they're building it
Thumbs up if you recognized Colin Mcrae's world rally focus at the beginning

Carbon fiber = nearly indestructable
Who have only 200€ in their pockets😂
I guess in rally lightness counts
Why don’t they just build the car from the scratch as a rally car?
Rally cars do need to be compact cars
It's so funny hearing a women say "bearings, pistons, horsepower" instead of "fine, whatever, and sandwich"
samir you breaking the car
But its not 4wd. Its all wheel drive, and yes there is a difference.
