Thats some car!
It aint until you see a video of it, u realise!

 

This car is unreal

Not even a 'super car' could put out those figures

fookin point and squirt machine!!

always been my favorite.

 

You mean the pikespeak rs 200


What happened in testing ?
When we rolled out our car on a cold October morning at MIRA (Motor Industries Research Association) we expected some phenomenal results. We were stunned! Running at only 1.4 Bar boost (80% power), our Ford RS 200 Evolution Ultra-Lightweight accelerated from 0-140 mph within 200 yards....in only 6 seconds. That's quicker than an F1 car! Whilst outright acceleration is only part of the package necessary to win Pikes Peak and Queenstown, I think we can confidently predict that nothing will touch us on the straights! In the coming months Stig will be putting the car through its paces in the other areas necessary to perform to its maximum potential during both hill-climbs and he can't wait to run at full power!!

Facts and Figures
Venue .. MIRA

Date ..21st October 1998

Weather .Early rain, turning fine.

Power - 680 b.h.p.

Torque - 480 ft lbs

Fully laden weight - 920 kgs

Power to weight - 740 bhp/tonne

Maximum Speed - 140 mph @ 8200 rpm

Performance 0 - 140 mph in 6 seconds (And we have another 100 bhp to come !)

The car was timed to the rev limiter in 5th gear, and the maximum speed calculated from gearing and tyre diameter, so times to intermediate speeds were not measured, but expect:

0 - 100 mph in 3-4 seconds

0 - 60 mph in under 2 seconds

Average linear acceleration is greater than 1g.

Our car reaches 200 yards quicker than a stone dropped over a cliff!

Why the Ford RS 200?
Our machine started life as a Group B Rally Car. This category was introduced to produce competition between the fastest rally machinery in the world. During the early 80s, when the car was conceived, manufacturers were obliged to produce 200 road cars in order to run in the World Rally Series. Then disaster. In 1986 Group B cars were deemed too fast to race, and Ford were left with the best rally car in the world....but nowhere to race it.

After the demise of Group B, manufacturers interest in them came to an abrupt halt an expensive loss, as Ford had spent around $20 million in development. However privateers still wanted the car for Rallycross, Sprints and Tarmac Hill-Climbs. So enter F1 engine builder Geoff Page of Mountune Racing and GT racer and race car builder Colin Blower of Colin Blower Motorsport.

The RS200E holds the 0-60 mph World Record for a road car at 3.07 seconds thus a good marque to use as a base. It didn't take long for Mach 2 Racing to select Geoff as the engine builder and Colin as the Constructor. Nobody else came close in their respective fields. Unhampered by fuel restrictions we have what we believe to be the fastest off-road racer of all time.

Is it really 840 bhp ??
In early 1998 our road car was stripped to its last nut and bolt, lightened, modified and reassembled. A BDT Evolution 840 bhp engine was prepared by F1 engine constructor Geoff Page, who has assembled the engines for almost all the competition RS 200s ever built. There are only a handful of specialists in the world who can build these engines, and Geoff is the best of the best. Running on 118 octane fuel produces extra power by way of advanced ignition timing, and this engine is the most powerful Geoff has ever prepared. It runs at 2 bar boost , and produces 840 bhp and 700 ft lbs of torque 7500 rpm. The secret is in its power delivery. The engine is controlled by a Pectel T6 management system which controls the boost as the car ascends to 14,000 ft. It also boasts a sophisticated anti-lag system to aid 'driveability' This is no 'on or off' engine that bedeviled the Group B cars of the 1980s. We have power and control .
