Mitsubishi Lancer WRC

The Mitsubishi Lancer WRC is a World Rally Car built by Ralliart, Mitsubishi Motors' motorsport division, to compete in the World Rally Championship. The previous Lancer Evolution series were homologated for the Group A class, and their competitiveness against World Rally Cars from other manufacturers was therefore limited.

WRC

The Lancer Evolution WRC is powered by the same 1996 cc 4G63 engine that has been used in its sports and rally cars since the 1980s, in this iteration producing 300 PS (221 kW) at 5500 rpm and 540 N·m (398 lb·ft) at 3500 rpm.

WRC2

The Lancer Evolution WRC2 is also powered by the 4G63, also producing 300 PS (221 kW) at 5500 rpm and 540 N·m (398 lb·ft) at 3500 rpm. It is mated to a 6-speed INVECS-type sequential transmission via a triple-plate carbon clutch and distributes power to all four wheels via front-, centre- and rear- active differentials. The car's suspension is independent, with MacPherson struts and coil springs at each corner. The brakes are vented discs clamped by 6-piston calipers at the front, and 4-piston calipers at the rear.

WRC04

The Lancer WRC04 continued with the 4G63 engine, mounted to a 5-speed semi-automatic transmission and a new all-wheel drive system co-developed by Ricardo Consulting Engineers and Mitsubishi Motors Motorsports (MMSP). The bodywork was subjected to extensive aerodynamic testing at the Lola Cars wind tunnel. The front brakes were upgraded to 8-piston calipers clamping 370 mm (15 in) discs.
The lead Lancer WRC04 in the 2004 World Rally Championship was driven by ex-Peugeot driver Gilles Panizzi, with his brother Hervé as co-driver.

WRC05

The Lancer WRC05 saw no significant changes to the powertrain, but the car's width was increased by 30 mm (1.2 in) due to a change in the WRC regulations. Aerodynamic alterations to the bodywork were introduced to improve stability, while suspension links and driveshafts were lengthened. Steering-mounted gearshift paddles were also introduced, and longer ratios were adopted for first, third and fourth gears.

Seat Cordoba WRC

The Cordoba competed in the World Rally Championship officially between 1998 and 2000. He made his debut in Rally Finland and won the first point in the Rally of Great Britain. Debuted in the 1999 season with fifth and sixth in the Rally of Finland and ended with a third place Harri Rovanpera in the RAC Rally of Britain. The third evolution of Cordoba WRC, E3, won fourth place in its debut in Monte Carlo Rally 2000. The Seat Cordoba WRC also consiguiría national championships success in different countries. In Spain, won a national title all the rallies on gravel with Pedro Diego and Marc Blazquez, in addition to several victories in tarmac rallies Cañellas Salvador Jr.

Toyota Corolla WRC

The Toyota Corolla is a line of subcompact/compact cars manufactured by the Japanese automaker Toyota, which has become very popular throughout the world since the nameplate was first introduced in 1966. In 1997, the Corolla became the best selling nameplate in the world, with over 35 million sold as of 2007.[1] Over the past 40 years, one Corolla car has been sold on average every 40 seconds.[2] The series has undergone several major redesigns.
The name Corolla is part of Toyota's naming tradition of using the name Crown for primary models: the Corona, for example, gets its name from the Latin for crown; Corolla is Latin for small crown; and Camry is an Anglicized pronunciation of the Japanese for crown, kanmuri.

Peugeot 206 WRC

Peugeot was the dominator of Group B rallying with the Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 during the years 1985 and 1986 both in the builders category as that of drivers with Timo Salonen and Juha Kankkunen respectively. The brand was withdrawn by the abolition of the category Group B. Peugeot return to the world rally championship in late 1999 with the Peugeot 206 WRC, winning three times the constructors' championship (2000, 2001 and 2002) and two with the drivers Marcus Gronholm (2000 and 2002). In 2004 the Peugeot 206 WRC is replaced by the 307 but do not get good results. In late 2004 Peugeot announces his retirement at the end of 2005 and is the group brand Citroën passed to the rallies, with magnificent results.

Celica GT-FOUR

The Toyota Celica GT-Four is a high performance model of the Celica liftback, with a turbocharged 3S-GTE engine, and full-time AWD. It was created to compete in the World Rally Championship, whose regulations dictate that a manufacturer must build road-going versions of the vehicle in sufficient numbers. These vehicles are referred to as "homologation special vehicles".
The Celica GT-Four came in three generations; ST165, based on the fourth generation Celica, and manufactured between October 1986 and August 1989; the Super Round shape ST185 produced from September 1989 to September 1993; and ST205 from February 1994 to June 1999.
The Celica GT-Four rally cars were prepared by Toyota Team Europe in Koln, Germany.

Focus WRC

The Ford Focus RS WRC is a car built for the BP Ford World Rally Team by Malcolm Wilson's M-Sport and based on the Ford Focus Climate 2 litre production hatchback, developed to compete in the World Rally Championship. The RS stands for Rallye Sport and the WRC for World Rally Car, the car's FIA specification.
Like all contemporary World Rally Cars, the car is heavily modified from the production version, with which it shares only the basic shape and some parts of the bodyshell. The car features four wheel drive, rather than the front wheel drive of the road car. The engine used in the 2007 Focus WRC is based on Ford's 2.0 Litre Duratec from other models in the Focus range as rallying rules do not permit the standard 2.5 Litre engine of the Focus ST or road going RS. As with most rally cars, the 2.0 Litre engine is heavily modified and performance was increased using a turbocharger. Also the 2009 Ford Focus WRC uses a Ford 1998cc Pipo built l4 Duratec WRC engine. Four Cylinders, 16 Valves, Bore 85 mm and Stroke 88 mm. Pi electronic engine Management system. Garrett Turbocharger (with required 34 mm inlet restrictor). Air Intercooler. and a Catalytic Converter
