Default Motorsport RS2000?

Hi saw an advert the other day for a white 96 RS2000 that was a 'rare' motorsport version and knowing how advertisers use 'poetic licence' I thought was bulls@@t. Never heard of this 'version' before (cossies yes) - anyone else know?

F1 edition and maxi are different...the maxi was a ridiculous wide arched thing...used in some rallies...but the fi edition is just a normarl rs with a few extras like as people have said, carbon trims in the cabin
