The Ford Puma has crossed over 1 million units made – yes, just the new one. In this celebratory video, the marque was in the midst of having something of a softly-softly pleasant celebration of the model’s success. Then, as night falls, the Puma’s blood-curdling delinquent sibling manifests.

Yes, the Puma Rally1, Ford’s next-gen hybridist WRC contender, stoked its antilag and its electric motors for a joyride around the Romanian facility that builds every Pumas. M-Sport Ford rallying ace Adrien Fourmaux is on hand to expertly weave the Puma Rally1 in and around the area. The whole thing is a suitably exciting gatecrash of a party celebrating the success of one of the best small family crossovers money can buy. Whether the Rally1 will prove to be one of the best competitors in the next-generation hybridised World Rally Championship, well, that remains to be seen.
