The RS2000 wasn't front-wheel drive and had more power than 150hp. I'm also sure that it did 0-60 in well under 8 seconds...WELL under.

If you look at the one you provided in your link, and the one that I provided in mine, they are two different types of RS2000's. The one I posted is the one he was referring to.:rolleyes:

it's actually a Ford RS 200

that's a totally different car...

and yes the rs 200 is way faster....

Mr. rallycross Martin Schanche drove one with 641 bhp

0-100 kmh in 2.5 seconds

that's 100 km in 34 meters
http://www.rally.no/rs200.html

faster than a Mclaren

:flipa:

The one I was looking for is the first link posted, so DYMEIFHJ(D??'s one.

Neat car anyway.

The RS200 that Jimmy is referring to must simply be a real modified version of the RS2000.

Right?

The rs 200 that I referd to is the top of the notch!

It was so fast that they had problems with the tires, the rubber got twisted of the wheels. Mr rallycross modified it with own custom made parts, so it could withstand the power from the engine. parts from airplane's and such were used. It was up for sale some time ago, and i belive the price was 1,5 mill NOK. that's 3 times the original price tag when it came out in 85 or so.

And the question to the topic was about the Rs 2000, and I belive the figures I posted about the Rs 2000 is correct. And the figures you posted about the Rs 2000 is the correct once for the original road version of the Rs 200.

I got what I wanted and then some.

I didn't know that there was an Escort tagged with the name RS 2000.

We'll have to specify then if ever it comes up again;)

The RS200 was built to compete in the Group B Rally Series until the Group B cars were banned from competition. Used a mid mounted Cosworth engine and wasn't based on the Escort. The RS2000 on the other hand was based on the escort and Jimmy is correct with his figures

RS200 As shown at the website at the top, this was based upon the RS1700T engine and had 4 wheel drive. The RS200 is quite a rare beastie and was purpose built for rallying. The name "RS200" came about because 200 were produced so that it could enter its class. The RS200 along with other cars within it's class were banned from rallying as they were deemed to be too fast!!! this was after a few tragic accidents involving spectators :(

The RS2000 is quite a different beastie once again, came in the form of the european mk1 and mk2 escort for rallying and ford brought back the mk5a RS2000 as a "special edition", the mk5a are FWD and a few are 4WD with a tranversly mounted 150bhp 2.0 Zetec engine. The mk1 and mk2 escorts were RWD using a 2.0 pinto power plant. The pinto was developed by Cosworth to produce a 16v turbo pinto engine, the engine was used for rallying but in the form of the mk1 Sierra RS500 Cosworth and was extremely successful.

Hope that clears a few things up :)

Sorry I don't mean 2.0 zetec as I said above. The mk5a RS2000 used a 16v I4 engine that is a derivitive of the Sierra inline 2.0 DOHC 8v I4 engine.

The Ford RS200 is a mid-engined, four-wheel drive sports car produced by Ford 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.
