The rally car used on events is the same but in colour unfortunately.

Apparently the black doesn't show the sponsorship very well on camera - I don't care as I don't get the WRC on TV any more......

Who said matte black was 'last year'? Screw it, it still looks awesome.

It might be used according to the people who run the Ford WRC Facebook page!

Afternoon all! Just a quick post to say thanks for liking our page and for your many comments and positive contributions. It has made it a fun few weeks in between Greece and Finland for all of us in the office. Just to let you know that we have seen the posts about the black & white livery (and the facebook group asking for its implementation at Rally GB). All we can say at the moment is....watch this space!

Perhaps they can modify it to fit better on tv.

Such as the 2011 Audi Le Mans livery...
I love it.

Much better than the other one.

might not be possible because of the sponsor colours..
I think it looks much much better without the white.
Say replace the white with the matt black and it would still look pretty good.
Sorry for the paint skills paperbag

Best looking rally car since the Stratos, in my opinion.

Wow! Not really a fan but it's amazing what a decent colour scheme can do for a car. I'd have one.

The black is so much nicer than this years 'colour' livery.

Spoken to one of the engineers at Mr. Wilson's office and apparently they all prefer the test colours. Ho hum
