Ford RS200 to Return as a Modern “Remaster” to Celebrate 40th Anniversary​

A Group B rally legend is the latest car to join the ranks of reborn classics, as a Ford performance specialist has announced it will be building a limited run of Ford RS200s to mark the car’s 40th anniversary...

This is a trend that has been requested and needed for decades and now we finally are starting to see modernization of old cars, like the Kimera

One Escort to go for me, please.

Looks legit

When I saw this on the News page, I thought at first glance that we were getting the RS200 in GT7.

DREAMS CAN BECOME REALITY. I'll take a MK1 ESCORT please!

Probably £50-75k you say?

💀

I mean I hope not but let's be real, it'll probably be in that ball park.

I'm still waiting on my GT90, Ford.

We've had the Delta Integrale Futurista, the MAT Stratos, the Kimera EVO37, & now a RS200/Escort "remaster".

Shame you need absolutely deep pockets to enjoy them.

Bet you could make the guy in Oklahoma who owns it an offer. Probably be cheaper than this RS200.

They must know that they could sell the thing for like $5 million and they'd sell out before the stories were even published. It wouldn't even have to compete with anything in the market, just make it as it was but make it work.

I wish they'd mass produce new Escorts, but I'm honestly still glad they're doing this to begin with, connecting to history and all.

Different but the same

I always love seeing these “restomods” and peoples love for somewhat older cars still

 

[ZEE]

I too love restomods if done really well, the KIMERA EVO37 is awesome to look at. I really loveed the original RS200 when watchign old school reruns of rallycross on sunday TV and then seeing one in real life when younger then playing one in the Colin mcrae Rally videogmes series as a halo car. It is sorely missed in GT7. But I digress.

This hopefully will be as cool as it look under covers, but it being limited it will defo garner a high price tag and most likely be shown at goodwood as a big reveal. Hope it has that "raw racing factor".... Maybe one just one day. I hope it also has a fancy diff and has switchable 4wd, that wud be amazing.

How cool is this thing!!!

One of my favourite group B cars so I'm excited to feel sad about not being able to buy it.
