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 by 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-litre Zetec or a Duratec V6 unit. Both can produce in excess of 3OObhp, depending on the specific event technical regulations.

All three categories of Puma enjoy a number of common features and offer upgrade from one category to another as the budget and aspirations of the competitor change.
Amendments to the front aerodynamics accommodate a new front splitter to give increased front end downforce, whilst a rear aerofoil increases rear downforce and stability at high speed.
Ford Motor Company are pleased to announce that the award winning Puma coupe has been developed for national and international competition.
