FIA Rallycross: More details emerge about the Münnich Motorsport Audi program




By Johan Laubscher

Last week it was announced that Münnich Motorsport are going to be focussing on their new Audi A3/S3 Supercar for the new 2014 FIA World Rallycross Championship. More details regarding the project have emerged this week.

RallyCrossWorld.com has published a new article on their website that reveals more details regarding the new Audi Rallycross project from Münnich Motorsport. That article, which includes quotes from Rene Münnich, new photos of the car, drivetrain and engine details, a brief look at Audi’s history in the sport and more details of Münnich Motorsport’s 2014 campaign, can be seen via this link HERE.


Münnich Motorsport will be competing in the new FIA World Rallycross Championship during 2014 and they will be fielding one Audi A3/S3 during their development year. The Audi Supercar will be driven by Rene Münnich. Some of the new information about the project includes:

The car has been built and prepared completely in-house by Münnich Motorsport and it will be fielded in the Supercar category of the 2014 FIA World Rallycross Championship. The team will be fielding one of the new Audi vehicles during the first season in order to focus on the car’s development, but the possibility exists for more cars in the future. 



The car pictured, and which has been seen in testing, is the team's first design prototype, which they will be using for initial testing and development. They are currently busy building a second Audi rallycross car and this is the vehicle that will be used in the championship during 2014. It is said that this new vehicle will differ visually from the current test car, as the current car’s striking bodywork is not completely suited for rallycross competition.

For more information about the project please see the RallyCrossWorld.com article HERE.

This project from Münnich Motorsport is certainly very exciting and it will be great to see an Audi rallycross vehicle entered in the new 2014 FIA World Rallycross Championship.

By Johan Laubscher

The FIA World Rallycross Championship will be debuting during 2014 and at least one Audi entrant will be taking part.

Münnich Motorsport has been working on an Audi A3 rallycross car during 2013. They revealed the vehicle a few weeks ago when they completed their first rollout of the new car. Their Audi is known as the “S3 SuperCar”. The team has already confirmed that they will be reducing their WTCC program during 2014 and that they will be fielding their Audi A3 in the new FIA World Rallycross Championship.


The team has mentioned that they will be testing the Audi A3 this week, as they prepare for the 2014 season.

It is certainly very exciting to hear that this fantastic looking rallycross car will be seen on the world stage during 2014.

Rallycross: First rollout for Münnich Motorsport and their new Audi rallycross racer




By Johan Laubscher

Exciting news came from all-inkl.com münnich motorsport today. The team has completed the first rollout of their new Audi rallycross race car.

During 2012 Münnich Motorsport had announced their intentions to build an Audi A3/S3 rallycross vehicle for the German/European Rallycross Championship, where the team has been fielding Skodas for a number of seasons. The original announcement included an Audi S3 render/design from 
berzerkdesign.de.



The team uploaded various build photos onto their Facebook page during January 2013, which depicted the development of the car known as their “S3 SuperCar”.

Nine months later and Münnich Motorsport has released the first photo of the car, following their rollout today. The car looks fantastic with a menacing and aggressive appearance. Visually the bodywork is similar to that of the Audi RS 3.

More information and photos of the car is expected to be seen in the weeks to come.
