Alcon Unveils Next-Generation Rally Caliper at PMW Expo
)
Since 1983, throughout rallying’s rich history, Alcon has been helping its clients win at the very highest level. From the legendary Audi Quattro Group B of the 80s and Toyota Celica’s of the early 90s, to Loeb’s record-breaking Citroën campaigns, VW and Ogier’s 2013 fightback, and more recently since 2017 with Toyota’s Yaris WRC platform.
Perhaps even more relevant are the customer focussed machines that Alcon has equipped in recent years, also achieving huge success. These cars punch above their weight and despite their lower cost, with a pro crew on board, it’s not unusual to see Rally2 cars nestled among Rally1 contenders on the scoreboards. Alcon’s Next Generation Rally Caliper is designed to maximise the forthcoming regulations update, capitalising on our vast experience and success in the competitive world of rallying, offering market leading performance, durability and versatility to ensure our clients are suitably equipped to win.
“The Next Generation Rally Caliper embodies everything Alcon stands for: versatility, cutting-edge technology, and performance without compromise,” said Garry Wiseman, Chief Engineer at Alcon. “Our in-house capabilities and advanced manufacturing methodologies have delivered a product that will provide teams with the confidence to push the limits on every stage, from WRC2027 to Rally3.”
