World Rally CarWorld Rally Car refers to the racing automobiles built to the specification, set by the FIA, used to compete in the outright class of the World Rally Championship (WRC). In the WRC, the cars used are modified road cars, often based on turbocharged, four wheel drive versions of standard small cars such as the Subaru Impreza WRX and the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. To limit power, all supercharged (turbo) cars are fitted with a restrictor. The restrictor is a cylinder with a diameter of 34 mm placed in the inlet before the turbo. Although the restrictor is intend to limit the power to 300 bhp, most works cars is believed to have between 350 280 bhp. One prototypical rally car is the Audi "UR-Quattro". The cars are further modified for greater power and torque, and fitted with suspension and tyres specifically suited to the conditions of the specific rally, which may take place entirely on bitumen roads, different consistencies of gravel and dirt roads, and even snow-covered roads on some rallies held in northern Europe.
