It was launched in 1984 and was developed by Ford Special Vehicle Engineering and was intended as a homologation model for Group A rallying.
It was the first of the turbo RS cars and paved the way for the great Escort Cosworth.
   
"only available in white"

It took over from where the RS1600i left off but with more power bigger arches and It uses the great Garret AirResearch T3 turbocharger.


As we all know they can take a lot more boost than the were given and its rare to find one without some form of modification, from a stage 1 chip to 2 litre conversions. We love em! we have one as our project car so that says something. Because of its no compromise style and shot life span and rally intentions it has become a modern classic.
