60mph in 2.1 seconds! Ford’s Group B rally car.
by Administrator
I recently posted some pics from the Pacific Northwest Vintage Races. One of the most interesting cars of the day was easily this Ford RS200.
Four wheel drive and 650bhp from a 2.1 litre engine made Ford’s Group B rally car one of the most outrageous racing cars ever made. But then, weren’t most of the Group B rally cars insane? Group B rally cars had performance comparable to Formula One cars of the same era. The death of spectators at rallies forced the FIA to ban Group B rally cars leaving many of these supercars without homes as the rally teams looked for other cars.
Pistonheads.com gives a great review of this incredible car.
