Vauxhall Returns To Motorsport for 2026 ADAC GSE Rally Cup with the Mokka GSE Electric
This is the world’s first electric one-make European rally championship. The Future of Vauxhall electric rallying starts now as the manufacturer will be competing in the world’s first electric one-make rally championship in 2026 with the Mokka GSE Rally Car.
The Mokka GSE Rally is the first car currently being developed according to the FIA’s new eRally5 regulations, and with a peak power output of 281hp, it is more than twice as powerful as the Corsa Rally Electric (136hp). Backed up with 345Nm of torque and sophisticated motorsport technology, it promises performance on a par with a Rally4 car.
The rally car is closely related to the road-going Vauxhall Mokka GSE, sharing key components such as the motor (which produces an identical 281hp), inverter, battery and wiring harness. The Mokka GSE is the fastest electric vehicle in the Vauxhall range, achieving 0-62mph in 5.9 seconds

With Bilstein rally suspension, 345NM of torque and a reinforced lightweight chassis, the Vauxhall Mokka GSE Rally is designed for OMG driveability and performance.
