Well in a salt mine!

What happens when the Ford Fiesta ST of 200 hp and one of the best rally drivers of the moment meet? The oval company wanted to find out and took his sedan 400 meters underground. Incredible

Ford accustomed us to Ken Block's spectacular gymkhan, which for example led a wilderness festival . This time, the company founded by Henry Ford chose the British rally driver, Elfyn Evans, to drive the all-new Ford Fiesta ST with a 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine delivering maximum power 200 horses. But the staging is perhaps what attracts the most attention, since the challenge was achieved in a unique environment at 400 meters underground, in one of the most large salt mines in the world.

"To drive, the salt is actually like fine gravel, it's pretty slippery, especially with road tires," said the official representative of the team M -Sport Ford driving a Fiesta WRC at the World Championship "We would expect that such a place would be claustrophobic, but in reality it's a good place to enjoy the new Ford Fiesta ST ", adds the Welsh natural sportsman who took the second place of the Rally of Portugal this year.

The work was recorded in an underground salt mine in Europe with a network of tunnels of 60 kilometers and a constant temperature of 16 ° C throughout the year. "The intrigue of the tunnels and the opportunity to show the skills of the Fiesta ST in a different environment and type of surface have decided us to choose this place," said Leo Roeks, director of Ford Performance. "This was not a typical racing circuit, it was a place where we could demonstrate the potential of this great new car," concluded the main promoter of Ford's latest audio-visual proposition.
