Ford RS200 "Pure Sound" Group B
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 сер 2019
- The RS 200 was Fords Group B challenger and also the last car on the Group B scene. Making its WRC debut on the 1986 Swedish rally where it finished in 3rd place.
The events of Portugal and Corsica led to Ford loosing interest in the rest of the season and they only entered two more rounds the Acropolis Rally where both cars were leading for a while and the RAC Rally.
The car did win the 1986 British Rally Championship with Mark Lovell at the wheel was also successfully campaigned in other European rallys.
The RS 200 has had somewhat of a revival thanks in part to the Dirt Rally games and Ken Block being a hugh fan of the car. - Авто та транспорт
Because driving around a racetrack isn’t hard on its own let’s add a fearless enveloping crowd.
makes sense why so many people died though
@@jackbarrowcliffe9124 Well obviously it's a great idea to go watch live someone driving in a car with barely any traction and smashes the gas paddle 🤣
Safety was NOT paramount back then
Hey man at a rally event literally no one is afraid to die
It’s not a racetrack
704bhp, from a 1.8 engine, unbelievable.
No clue how you find these amazing videos but they are amazing and hope you continue uploading. Thank you for letting us see what is considered by many to be the golden age of rally. I was born in 1995 so i never got to see this in person or on tv so it is appreciated.

@@hege666ful you should post your comment on the main site, not as a reply to this specific dude’s comment.
It’s so unfortunate and ironic that RS200’s crash in portugal was one of the reasons Group B was cancelled, and the RS200 Evo with a bigger engine has never competed in WRC
Not a ford fan but these RS200's were probably the ultimate groupB
design.
Only two things this car needed was more power, and an earlier entry into Gr. B.
@fabaum22 They had only just started before the program was stopped.
The following year they were due to have a 2.1 Ltrs engine something like 75-100 Kg less mass and again something like an extra 35mm front and 50mm rear extra suspension travel.
As your probably aware, development was constant but no changes to the current car could be made for 12 monthes because of the once a year homoligation stipulation.
@fabaum22 Like the focus when it was introduced, the RS200 was not down to the minimum weight
x2
Lancia Delta and Peugeot 206 were technically better since they actually were on time for the spectacle
I dont know if anyone else agrees with this but this "era" was as awesome as it was because you could see the cars in action and buy something atleast somewhat close to it, where as now you got a awd yaris doing 0-60 in like 1.9 sec but when you go to buy it, you found out its fwd and has shit box for a chassis
little ticked off Not anymore
The United States didn't get it but the GR Yaris is suppose to be the the equivalent now.
@@notjohnedgell 268hp from 3 cylinders and a turbo, imagine if it just had one more cylinder like the rally version
Not to mention the Yaris is ass ugly.
99% of the spectators back then couldn't afford a Group B homologation street car. For example, the Audi Sport Quattro (164 were sold to the public between 84 and 86) went for 200 000 West German Marks. In 1984 $US that would be around 72 500. In 2021 money, it would be $US 190 500. It's current value today if you can find one for sale is around $US 580 000.
I remember seeing one of these in the LOMBARD RAC RALLY IN THE 80S AT NIGHT U HEARD MILES AWAY. B4 u saw it. Exhaust was glowing. Amazing
5:03 this is the most badass shot i had seen that Rs200 have the light aura
I love watching classic rally car racing!
i'm italian but i think its the most beatiful GROUP B ever made
1.8 litre, 4 cylinder(straight 4), 444hp single turbocharged engine. And yet still crazy fast enough that one wrong move will wrap you around a tree. Group B was just on a whole nother level.
Love everyone of these cars as a child the sounds still never fail to give me goosebumps
I go back and forth between the RS200 and the Escort Cosworth as my favorite rally cars that Ford ever produced. Astonishing cars.
I would recognize a Cosworth engine a mile away, I can't really figure out what it is but they always stands out among other engines for their "angry" sound. Thanks for the footage Marvdogger, the RS200 truly was one of the best group B cars, that's sad they had to scrap the project so early...
It's not a Cosworth engine in the RS 200 it's a BDT 1800, and the 20 evolutions built had 2.1 BDT's built by Brian Hart. Peter Stevens, the designer built a Group S RS 200 and that has a Cosworth engine in it, I think it runs at Rally Legends in San Marino.
John Phillips The engines from the scrapped Escort 1700T program ended up in the RS200 with a few updates and upgrades. Saved Ford abit of money.
John Phillips It’s John Wheeler that has the Cosworth engined RS200. Peter Stevens styled the McLaren F1.
That startup is heavenly
In my opinion this is one of the most beautiful cars ford ever made such elegant body lines. I wish they still made innovative cars like this. But my goodness this car was a monster
Great way to start my morning, THANKS Marv🇺🇸👍🏁
Right here with you....i love all the sounds of these cars the lancia 037 is addictive as well
*_Me too xD_*
One of the most underrated "mainline" AWD Gr.B cars IMO, along with the Metro 6R4.
RS never raced, wasn't it so? And Metro was too slow to keep up with the lead :(
@@derrickstorm6976 they did race, and yeah the metros unfortunately were too slow. Really good on a national level tho
Marvdogger2 you sir are a genius. I have watched this several times in a row. Love it as well as your other Group B content. Excellent just excellent. Thank you
it is still a nice car to see and the sound is great too, too bad that group b banned cars
erik de jong it was cool that different cars had different engine configurations, now it’s all the same with very little difference in sound. Manual gearboxes also made racing a hell of a lot more interesting.
To bad the banned cars, now they only allow trains.
@DJ Coin Laundry what? Please educate grammer
So ein geiles Gerät, zu der Zeit schon ein Wahnsinns Auto
Finnaly a new vid from Marv, it's awesome to see some new footage of the more or less rarely shown rs200! Keep it up m8
Amazing footage as always! Wonder how you get all these clips, they are so good. Too bad I didn't get to see these things live in action since I wasn't around then. I'm glad you post these videos to YT, I really appreciate it. Hope you find and upload more in the future, these are just so good.
Haha we said very similar things.
@@MrDrBlahh Yeah noticed that too lol
A terrific car!!! Amazing!
Thankyou for the content. The footage is awsome to see.
Thanks for your work buddy! Once again
Gawd, these RS2000s were Rockets!!
I am glad I just ordered 3 of them.
(In matchbox form)
Da rimanere a bocca aperta..
La rs 200 è stata una gr B stupenda anche se poco vista per via chiusura gr B..1.8cc 900kh e 650 hp,.con 3 modalità di trazione tutto dietro 50/50 e 65/35 mi pare..UNICA nel suo genere di cambio
Cosworth fantastic
Legend👍
My 1988 Ford Sierra 1.6 GL shares the same tail lights. I feel like a rally driver 💪
Amazing footage, thanks for the video!
Love these old vids‼️
Absolute monster....!
this car is amazing it just backfires
What a brutal machine. Glorious!
I was born in 86, grew up in the USA, had a toy one of these and almost no idea what it was. Mightve seen a clip in a Sports Illustrated vhs or something. Now I'm a huge rally nerd.
This is GOLD!!
Simply incredible.
thanks man
Is it just me, or are those tires freakn skiny, great vid!
I love this ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Camera man starting at 2:41 deserves a medal
Yes!
This car is fu***** SICKKKKKK
Such a beaut
the rs200 was basically the only group s prototype to race only downgraded to group b regulations in order to be used as a test bench for the next season
DID YOU SEE THEM TIRES SO THIN
why dafuq are they so thin
They were snow tires I believe
@@aidanjones5056 yes, they are
@@ok-nu3sg ice tires are thinner and spike covered so they dig in better and don't just float. It's the same reason why a dirt bike has thin tires.
Because they can “dig” in the terrain adding more traction
First thing im buying if I have a million dollars
it never looked like any driver had totally mastered the control on the RS200 it was very twitchy in most of the rallys i saw fighting with over steer and understeer almost simultaneously . martin schanke in the rallycross evo2 was the only driver who had total control over it
🔥
I can't lie, some of these corners and turns looks like they're stages that are featured in Dirt rally 2.0 but idk how many of those stages were based off real stages
Everyone's is saying that they wish they'd seen these this but on a day that get might of seen in May if been the day that the car killed a bunch of people in the crowd leading to the ban.
yeah because the stupid fucking spectators would run all over the tracks. not the car or driver or sports fault. all the moronic spectators with the IQ of a potato are what killed it. I remember hearing an interview with one of the group B drivers and he said you had to imagine all the spectators were trees because if you thought of them as people, you'd never be able to drive properly.
I know i'm going to get flamed for this, but the series should have kept going. if the spectators wanted to be brain dead, utter dumbasses then let them get smeared all over the road.
The action at 3:31 with car 4, reg C200*** is the Manx Rally, Sulby area!
One more year of group b and would have been interesting to see how the rs200 would have performed
My life goal is to have enough money to buy an rs200 and then go to Ford and try to work out some deal to either have them modify it with the planned changes for the next years car, or have them give me the plans for the cars updates and allow me to go get the work done.
Never seemed laggy at all, shame it never saw 2 seasons to progress.
To think this was the fastest car in group b and it only had a 4 cylinder engine is fucking crazy compared to mg and audi using 6 and 5 cylinders
wow the tires were so small
John Dayton 15 and 16” wheels were seen as big back in the 80. Whereas nowadays 18” wheels on road cars come as standard on many cars. How times change.
The only Group B car that doesn't look like ass.
That snow racing though…. What the heck are they using for tires?
Super narrow with studs.
Does anyone know what Number "C761 TMO" was?
As in chasis number?
These beast's can be seriously tuned to way over 600hp and they don't weigh snot
Mark McCann needs to watch this
Maybe he already has.
theres so much soul in this video, in this car, you cant get that without a engine. i hate electric cars, and there is no way rally will become electric. i cant believe they have even made electric rally cars. if rally becomes electric i will give up on the sport. theres no soul in electric cars and rally is so much more then just driving fast in the woods.
What was the hp of the Ford RS at 1986
Around 430bhp.
@@Marvdogger2 I had a conversation with a professional photographer of rally and said to me that the hp of Audi, Peugeot, and s4 that mentioned to difrend site's is not real...especially lancia s4 mechanics were at of control especially at 1986,they push the car over 600 hp.Audi the same!!
I thought it was 600hp 400lbft
+1
I think nobody knew the difference between formula 1 downforce and regular downforce back then.
600 hp in a 2.1 liter turbocharged inline 4 with only 2600 lbs empty

I WANT TO RUN WITH AUDI RS5!
4:43 I have a gif of this as my discord pfp
Creo que el RS 200 era mas poderoso que el Mustang de su tiempo.
I can see why they outlawed them
Esteticamente la più bella gruppo B costruita, le altre erano un po’ brutte
The sound of disappointment...
THE RS200 WAS A WEAPON THE ORGANISERS WERE XITS NOT THE CARS
