A wide variety of car manufacturers have participated in the race, either directly, through official, so-called ''house teams'', or indirectly, by a team racing the car of a specific manufacturer. Historically, until the early 1970s, virtually all rally cars were lightly modified versions of non-racing counterparts. These modifications were done by teams, not by manufacturers themselves. As the rally scene became increasingly professional, especially following the establishment of the World Rally Championship, the manufacturers themselves would begin to develop non-road going bespoke rally cars, which teams in turn acquired from manufacturers through partnerships. Increasingly strict safety regulations have made this modern arrangement successful, and today all cars in the SAR are produced and developed by manufacturers as opposed to being modified by teams. As of {{Currentyear}} there are a total of six manufacturers for the 50 teams of the race. These are {{w|Hyundai Motorsport}}, {{w|Toyota Gazoo Racing}}, {{w|Škoda Motorsport}}, {{w|Citroën Racing}}, and {{w|Ford Performance}}. Historically, Ford and Citroën have both participated since the early years of the race. In order to run an official ''house team'', manufacturers must make their car available for purchase to other teams. Teams are allowed to have cars modified independently from a manufacturer and then certified by the RMUA, though no such cars are currently participating in the {{Currentyear}} roster. An example of this is the 2014 ''Mitsubishi Mirage M5'' car of ''Ralliart'', who modified the existing ''Mirage'' platform without financial support from Mitsubishi.
