In today's high performance cars are involved in a war starting, trying to outdo each other with more and more power. How 570HP Ferrari 458 sounds like Italy? Perhaps it would be better to settle for 700HP Lamborghini Aventador? You might also prefer something less visible, exclusive, and perhaps faster than the 800 Coupe Brabus.
Now, if you want something that is not only fast, but still the last game of the finest supercars, you can buy only a fraction of the price. If you are aware of a distinctive, forget it. But if you have the performance, you might consider something a little 'older than a company that is built on the Escort.
Yes, we're talking about Ford. The car in question is the RS200 homologation special - just create a model for the Group B World Rally Championship, forcing a run of 200 units of annual production.
Originally introduced by the FIA in 1982, the Group B class very relaxed rules to attract more manufacturers to competition. Well, the plan worked, and the rally cars the most extraordinary the world would never been created.
Ford was the RS200 input. Unveiled at the 1994 Salon in Belfast, was born from the dead ashes Escort 1700RS prototype. This time, Ford's engineers have decided to abandon all connection to the Escort, and creates a composite-bodied, mid-engine, four wheel drive purebred racing car.
Initially, the production of 200 cars were rated at 247HP Ford, but the upgrade kits has increased production of the 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder over 300 hp.
Outgunned by rivals like the Peugeot 205 T16, Ford decided to take advantage of the rule, which allowed the construction of a scalable version of a season, provided that the 20 production cars were also made.
As a result, developed the 2.1-liter 600HP RS200 Evolution was built for the 1987 season in just 24 pieces. However, in late 1986, the FIA decided to ban cars from Group B after numerous accidents that have killed three spectators at the Rally of Portugal and Lancia driver Henri Toivonen and his co-driver Sergio Cresto in Corsica.
In spite of not intervening in the event of an RS200 24 development, which can accelerate 0-60 mph (0-96 km / h), only 3.1 seconds faster than the McLaren F1 or Ferrari Enzo, is for sale on
eBay.
The amazing thing is that this car is in perfect condition and is located in Houston, Texas, has only 192 miles (311 km) on its odometer. It was not street-legal when it was imported to the United States, but its status may have changed now that he has 25 years, it's something you can check with the DMV .
By the time the message was written, a reserve set by the vehicle owner has not been achieved, with the highest tenderer offering U.S. $ 110 300 so far. If you are interested, you have until the end of the day to place your bid.
