Fords that you'll never see but in pics.

It just seems to me that Ford builds some pretty ballsy cars, but then doesn't market them here.

Ford RS200



Ford 427


2003 Ford Falcon XR8 (deleted the Focus)


T-bird modified (I doubt it will be powerful, but pretty, though. They're supercharging one and it's 390hp)


And my favorite, the GT

1995 GT90

2002 GT40

I believe the cops in Germany use the RS200 for pursuit cars on the Autobahn... Balsy suckers from what I hear...

It would have been funny to see the Polizei in a Ford Ka though!
I would SWEAR I saw an article on it, but I have searched for about an hour and nothing. Who knows. Maybe it was just an RS2000 in police garb for a photo shoot or something.

Left and right hand drive cars were produced and the cars were built in two states of tune and trim. The lesser powered (lower boost) road cars were trimmed by Tickford to provide increased levels of comfort and civility. They featured Sparco seats in red or black, with a leather trimmed XR3i steering wheel. The road car also had fitted carpets and door inserts. Essex police toyed with the idea of using them as traffic cars at one stage - anything to blag a test drive eh?

Group B cars were NUTS. Does anybody have a DVD featuring Groub B rally cars? I'd love to see that spectacle!
