The Ford RS200 was one of the most remarkable cars ever made. Ford, a name that is synonymous with 20th century transport and motor sport, developed the RS200 without compromise. They decided that "Only the Best is Good Enough".The Ford RS200 was one of the most remarkable cars ever made. Ford, a name that is synonymous with 20th century transport and motor sport, developed the RS200 without compromise. They decided that "Only the Best is Good Enough".

Just 200 examples were made, of which 120 were sold as road cars. Twenty of these were designated as RS200 "Special" - RS200S - models. The incredible RS200S "Evolution" model featured a 680bhp engine, stereo cassette system and Aston Martin Tickford carpets and offered the ultimate in performance:

0-60 mph in 2.01 seconds

0-100 mph in 5.2 seconds

Standing quarter mile in 9.5 seconds with terminal speed 150mph

Various people make various claims about today's supercars, but the facts concerning the RS200S are inescapable. With its very compact overall dimensions, highly attractive body styling, all-terrain capability and world-leading performance, the Ford Motor Company's superb RS200 remains "The Boss".


One of the most famous rally cars of all time.
