The Puma Evolution is aimed at a variety of non-homologated categories and special events, including ice-racing, hillclimbs and certain national rallies. Incorporating Group A Escort and Escort World Rally Car four-wheel drive running gear – as used bij Ford in the FIA World Rally Championship – this most purposeful Puma can be powered by a number of engine options, including the proposed turbocharged 2-liter Zetec or a Duratec V6 unit. Both can produce in excess of 300 bhp, depening on the specific event technical regulations.
