	Ford RS200 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ford RS200 was a four wheel drive rally-homologation special.
		However, despite Ford offering a number of upgrades to make the cars more desirable to the public, they aren't really regarded as an everyday sports car to drive, and despite their rarity do not command massive prices, generally similar to those paid when new.
		The windscreen, taillights and steering column stalks were taken from the Ford Sierra, while the switches on the center console could also be found on the Ford Fiesta.

		Many believed that the RS200 was the Group B rally car with the most potential - however Henri Toivonen's death and the ban of the category put paid to that.
		Design on Ford’s new weapon began in the middle of 1983 and by March of the following year the car was presented to the waiting media.
		The RS200 chassis was designed by former Formula 1 designer Tony Southgate, and Ford’s John Wheeler (a former F1 engineer) also helped develop the car in the early days.

		Ford had been absent from the early years of Group B. It had begun by developing a rear-drive car, the Escort RS1700T, which Ari Vatanen and Pentti Airikkala tested in Portugal in 1982, one car fitted with a turbocharged 1.8-litre Cosworth BDT engine and another with a normally-aspirated 2.3 litre Hart 420R unit.
		Laid out by ex-F1 designer Tony Southgate and Ford’s John Wheeler, the RS200 was based around a sophisticated monocoque tub built from steel, aluminium and composites with a tubular rear subframe carrying the engine and suspension.
		Portugal was often the scene of crazy spectator antics and during the 1986 rally Joaquim Santos’ RS200 crashed into the crowd while trying to avoid spectators in the road: three died and more than 30 were injured.

	The Ford Escort RS Cosworth part 3
		Ford developed a car based on the Sierra Cosworth chassis and mechanics but housed in an Escort looking outfit.
		This is the same device as the one fitted to the Ford RS200 GroupB car of old.
		By applying all these modifications Ford hoped to be able to sell more cars since in the HTT version the turbo lag time was dramatically reduced as compared to the T35 based version and the cars were easier to drive in everyday traffic conditions.

		Ford's Group B effort, the RS200, was certainly effective, but in road form it was also one of the most practical and comfortable of all, having such luxuries as a fully-trimmed cockpit and even provision for a radio.
		The RS200 was conceived as early as 1983 as a bespoke (dedicated) rally machine.
		The RS200 was launched at the 1984 Turin Motor Show, but preproduction delays meant that the car did not get its homologation papers until early 1986, by which time the required 200 units had already been built.

	The Ford RS200
		Three tubular steel subframes were bolted onto the platform to form a chassis which was easy to work on and could be easily fixed or changed during the tough rally stages.
		The body was styled by the famous Ghia Design Studios in Turin, Italy, and because Ford had no experience in working in the lightweight glass fibre necessary for the body they turned to Reliant (famous for their fibreglass 3 wheelers and Scimitar sports car) for their expertise.
		Once Ford had produced the two hundred cars to satisfy homologation regulations, twenty four cars were taken to one side to be converted to 'Evo' specification.
