Born into rallying's wildest era and extinguished just as its potential began to bloom, the Ford RS200 remains one of motorsport's most haunting "what ifs." Conceived for the unbridled Group B regulations of the 1980s, it was a car of contradictions-an engineering masterpiece that arrived too late to claim the glory it deserved. With a mid-mounted turbocharged engine, four-wheel drive, and a chassis of space-age design, the RS200 represented Ford's boldest departure from convention, the kind of innovation that could only come from a time when speed knew no limits.
The Unfinished Legend: The Ford RS200 Story traces this remarkable machine's entire journey-from its birth in the minds of Ford's Boreham engineers, through its brief but dramatic rally career, to its resurrection in rallycross and collector circles decades later. It is a story of ingenuity, tragedy, and endurance-a car that raced for barely a year but continues to captivate enthusiasts, engineers, and dreamers around the world.
Meticulously researched and vividly told, this book reveals how the RS200 became more than just a rally car. It became a symbol of human ambition at full throttle, a legend frozen in time yet forever moving in the imaginations of those who still hear the echo of its turbo whine.
