300bhp I believe is the wrc permissable limit

300bhp is the outlined limit but in reality they run nearer 340bhp. The bhp is restricted but the FIA legislated 34mm restrictor mounted on the turbocharger inlet. Yes this limits peak air intake volume so limits peak bhp numbers. However they can still run 4 bar of boost in the middle for huge torque.
Couple this torque to a semi automatic gearbox, and a light weight car and thay can cover WRC stages rather quickly

And gearing, they generally don't have a really high top speed, eg: on the Finland rally their max speed is about 200km/h (125mph)
