It was built from a NG900 and it had 800HP. They had to restric it to 600HP to be allowed to compete in rallycross. That was just the first version of that car it seems. WRC-rally drivers compete just for fun once a year in Canary Islands, on a rallycross track. They have all the WRC-cars there and as extras old B-group rally cars. This year they didn't have old B-group cars. They had atleast 2 of those 750hp 9-3's there to drive. Must have been quite different from a normal WRC car with 300bhp or so :-) JK
