In
a nut shell, The Rally car as it left the works was a well balanced
package.The power and dynamics of the car were well matched and worked
harmoniously.If your intention is to collect and use (which is a rare
combination) the most desirable of the Killer B RS 200's then this
is the car for you.It is very serviceable (note John Taylor's dialogue
in the Rally video) and drivable all wheel drive rally car you could
ever have on the road. The engines are still actively used in competition and road cars in the UK and the parts are readily available from England and now even more so in the US since Ford has gone to the world car concept.For instance the glass and lenses for the car are interchangeable with the XR4 TI,and much of the interior trim is also (door seals etc.). Where the car departs from the standard issue is in the technologically significant issues of turbocharging, AWD transaxles, monocoque aluminum tub.It still it the only mid engined all wheel drive car ever made in more than prototype quantities.The car is very rare even though 200 were made,since so many were lost to racing and although Ford did have at one time 200 cars, they promptly disassembled many the racing effort. Very few of the cars actually made it out in one piece from the works as this car was since it was the car was used to promote the marque in North America.of the cars to use as spares to support the racing effort.Very few of the cars actually made it out in one piece from the works as this car was since it was the car was used to promote the marque in North America. |
