THE FORD RS200
The Ford RS200 is a mid-engined, four-wheel drive sports car that was produced by Ford Europe from 1984 to 1986. The road-going RS200 was based on Ford's Group B rally car and was designed to comply with FIA homologation regulations, which required 200 road legal versions be built. It was first displayed to the public at the Belfast Motor Show.
1984 - 1986
Following the introduction of the MKIII Escort in 1980, Ford Motorsport set about development of rear-wheel-drive, turbocharged variant of the vehicle that could be entered into competition in Group B rally racing, and dubbed the new vehicle the Escort RS 1700T. A problem-filled development led Ford to abandon the project in frustration in 1983, leaving them without a new vehicle to enter into Group B. Not wanting to abandon Group B or simply "write off" the cost of developing the failed 1700T, executives decided to make use of the lessons learned developing that vehicle in preparing a new, purpose-built rally car. In addition, Ford executives became adamant that the new vehicle feature four-wheel-drive, an addition they felt would be necessary to allow it the ability to compete properly with four-wheel-drive models from Peugeot and Audi.

A Brief History of the Ford RS200
The Ford RS200 debuted in 1984 as Ford’s ultimate Group B entry. Its lightweight composite body, four-wheel drive, and 1.8-litre turbo engine pushed over 450 bhp.
Production was limited to fewer than 200 units, making genuine cars extremely rare. Our Ford RS200 replica UK builds let enthusiasts experience that history without the multi-million-pound price tag.
