mickq Member 740 Member For: 21y 8m 2d Posted 24/08/06 09:33 AM Share Posted 24/08/06 09:33 AM If there is one car Id like, which is an amazing sleeper, it is this beast: has to rival the 720hp BMW X5 Le Mans for fun-at-the-lights "what the hell was that?" factor. (If you havent seen that video, let me know via return post). Introducing the ultra rare Ford RS200 EVOHow does this sound:Its the only normal (I say that lightly...) car I have ever seen that whips modern 1000cc sport bikes 0-100kph and I reckon still beat the average litre bike rider 0-160kph. And it was made in 1986.Forget your Veyron, this thing might look like a spaced out Honda, but Veyron drivers will only be looking at this car's rear end most of the time.And the engine is just 2.1 litres! (Albeit with 650hp...thanks to Cosworth)It is still for sale...Current sales brochure attached in PDF format.

(2.9sec vs 2.1 for the RS200).Doesnt sound like much of a difference, except its the same percentage different as a standard XR6T vs a Hyundai Sonata....

They are FAAAAAAAST!!Make current rally cars look like wuss cars. Group B Rally VideoAfter watching it, its not hard to see why the FIA killed off the series to save the drivers and spectators lives!
