1986 Ford RS200 Evolution

Like the BX 4TC, the Ford RS200 was created for Group B, but instead of using a family sedan bodyshell, Ford crafted a mid-engine, four-wheel-drive sports car for its rallying needs. Ford managed to build all 200 homologation specials, and 24 of these, including the RS200 seen here, were later converted into Evolution models. This upgrade saw the inclusion of a larger, 2.1-liter Cosworth-built turbocharged inline-four with approximately 600 horsepower. Longitudinally-mounted amidships, the engine sent that stupendous power to all four wheels via a five-speed manual and three limited-slip differentials. The Evolution also received stronger brakes and a revised suspension.
