This \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:43\u003c\/span\u003e scale model by IXO Models documents a specific entry — number 55, M-Sport Ford, Rally Monte-Carlo 2026 — with Joshua McErlean and co-driver Eoin Treacy as identified on the model's livery, rendered in the team's blue, green and white colour scheme.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"ford-puma-rally1-hybrid\"\u003eThe Ford Puma Rally1: Hybrid Power in a Homologated Package\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduced for the 2022 WRC season, the Ford Puma Rally1 is built around the road-going Ford Puma crossover, homologated under the new GR1 regulations that mandated a standardised 100 kW hybrid unit supplied by Compact Dynamics. The internal combustion element is a 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine, paired with the motor-generator unit to meet the Rally1 technical framework. M-Sport Ford developed the car at their Dovenby Hall facility in Cumbria, UK, bringing a British-built challenger to the top tier of world rallying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"mcearlean-treacy-monte-carlo-2026\"\u003eMcErlean, Treacy and the Monte-Carlo Stage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJoshua McErlean is a Northern Irish driver who has competed in WRC2 competition. Eoin Treacy is listed as co-driver on the model. Rally Monte-Carlo is the traditional season opener, run across the Alpine roads surrounding Monaco, and its mixed-surface, low-grip conditions make it one of the most technically demanding rounds on the calendar. Car number 55 in M-Sport Ford's blue, green and white colour scheme represents a distinct livery variant within the Puma Rally1 model family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"ram-models-143-die-cast\"\u003eThe 1:43 Scale Model: IXO Models in Die-Cast Metal\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIXO Models is an Italian specialist producer with a long focus on rally and circuit racing subjects in \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:43\u003c\/span\u003e. This example is produced in die-cast metal, a material that delivers the crisp panel definition and accurate proportions that the scale demands. The model reproduces car number 55 in the 2026 M-Sport Ford livery — blue, green and white — with the specific competition graphics of the Rally Monte-Carlo entry as depicted on the product. As a new release from IXO Models, it joins a catalogue that consistently targets rally subjects underserved by the larger mainstream manufacturers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IXO MODELS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60239568896384,"sku":"RAM1027B.22","price":51.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0922\/8828\/7104\/files\/vroomi-ram1027b22-front34-v2_c801ba8a-3dfa-4318-b629-f09fb04a78bf.jpg?v=1793205197","url":"https:\/\/vroomimodels.com\/products\/ford-england-puma-wrc-rally1-team-ford-ram1027b22","provider":"Vroomi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
