About the Ford Puma Rally1 WRC M-Sport #16 A. Fourmaux / A. Coria Safari Rally Kenya 2024 IXO 1:18
TL;DR: This 1:18 IXO diecast reproduces M-Sport's Ford Puma Rally1 WRC Hybrid #16, driven by Adrien Fourmaux and Alexandre Coria at the 2024 Safari Rally Kenya. Built in zinc alloy with the current Rally1 hybrid regulations' bodywork, it captures Ford's present-day World Rally Championship effort in gravel-spec trim.
Rally1 hybrid cars look genuinely different from the Escort WRC generation, wider, more aggressively vented, and carrying the additional hybrid hardware packaging that current regulations require.
Reproducing a Current Rally1 Hybrid Build
The Puma Rally1's bodywork sits noticeably wider and more heavily vented than earlier World Rally Cars, a consequence of both aerodynamic development and the packaging demands of its hybrid powertrain. IXO's model reflects the raised ride height and underbody protection Safari Rally's rough gravel stages demand, along with the auxiliary lighting bar Ford's team fits for the event's long, punishing routes. Panel work stays tight around the flared arches, and the tampo-printed M-Sport livery holds sharp registration across the car's modern sponsor graphics, denser and more layered than liveries from the Escort WRC era. Zinc alloy construction gives the model consistent weight for its size.
M-Sport's Role in Ford's Current WRC Program
M-Sport has run Ford's factory WRC effort for years, and the Puma Rally1 represents the team's current hybrid-era challenger against works entries from Hyundai and Toyota. Safari Rally Kenya returned to the world championship calendar as one of its most physically demanding rounds, testing reliability as much as outright pace across its rough, high-speed gravel stages.
This model suits a collection tracking the current WRC hybrid era, and it displays well alongside rival Rally1 entries from Hyundai or Toyota to compare each manufacturer's aerodynamic approach under the same regulations.
