Wow I've never seen one of those outside of Gran turismo. it looks like it was the FoMoCo answer to the 1st. and 2nd. gen audi G.T. & G.T. Coupe. i mean don't get me wrong that would be a great rally car. but i wonder why Ford didn't continue to a USDM or build off it's success.... Maybe Audi dominating the rally sport for like 15yrs, with its G.T. turbo'd 5cylinder quattro had anything to do with it. or it could be that at some point Americans stopped supporting car racing that took pure skill, talent and a challenge. and instead focused more on the grass-roots racing of the American South's NASCAR.... you know.... driving on flat, smooth ground, where the only skill is the abillity to keep turning left and not falling asleep.........
Yep, that is one sweet Ford RS. I just wish it had had a bigger chance to shine here at home. I think it would of been kind of cool to see it progress into the new american sports car, and to see a brand new one driving off the lot today. Who knows Ford could have become the tuners choice instead of a freakin ricer..... USA

Sorry for my ranting thoughts. but i found a site that has the low down on this car.

Of the 144 RS200s that left the factory only about 90 cars are thought to exists, and very few in standard 250bhp specification. 90 cars were road cars, 29 were rally cars, 24 were of evolution spec, and one was a special IMSA GTO version. A large proportion of the cars were left hand drive (92 in total). 67 cars were sold to British buyers, 26 to the USA, 9 to Germany, 2 to Canada, 2 or 3 to each EEC country, 12 to Japan, 1 to Jordan and 1 to Gutamala.

If you're lucky to see an RS 200 up for sale expect to pay £25,000 (standard 250 bhp) to £100,000 (for a genuine Evolution model with 550 bhp Brian Hart tuned motor). If you see one for sale and have the money spare (you know how it is Wink

then why not buy one, they don't make them like that anymore.
