In the rest of the powertrain, Rally1-class cars, such as the new M-Sport Ford Puma Hybrid Rally1, are still all-wheel drive, but without a centre differential.

The most important difference, however, compared to the past is the hybrid unit, which adds a power amplification of 100kW, so the maximum performance of the drive unit can reach up to about 530 horsepower. This makes the new Ford Puma Hybrid Rally1 extremely exciting to drive!
