Belgian motorsport team Project Rally One has unveiled its 2027 World Rally Championship car, with plans to enter two vehicles at the season’s inaugural race in Monte Carlo. The company, founded by engineer Lionel Hansen and former FIA rally director Yves Matton, unveiled its new car at the Rally4Passion event in Huy, Belgium. Project Rally One is one of two tuner operations, along with Spain’s RMC Motorsport, to commit to the new WRC technical regulations.
The team has completed 750km of asphalt testing in France and plans to conduct further tests before the car’s homologation on November 1. European Rally champion Teemu Suninen will lead the next phase of development on gravel. The vehicle is powered by a Volkswagen Group engine, with extensive modifications made to comply with WRC27 regulations.
The design, which shares similarities with Porsche, was created by Paris-based Faster Racing. While discussing the car’s unveiling, Hansen emphasized the team’s ambitious but achievable goal of entering both Rally One cars at the 2027 Rallye Monte-Carlo.
