Ford RS200
This car was designed and homologated so that it could be raced in Group B ralling before it was banned.
Notable features of the car were their extreme strength when crashed, though they were quite heavy.
The homologation [road] version heald the world record for the quickest car 0-60mph for a long time; at 3.01 seconds.
The RS200 EVO road version had about 680bhp, and hit 100mph from standing in just over 5 seconds, going on to complete the quarter mile in under 10.

Glad you have a sense of humor. Maybe the reason for your post wasn't as silly and obvious as it seemed. Just thought I'd have some fun with it.
I've never seen an RS200. Kind of looked like a Pontiac Fiero that someone went to town on. Rally racing isn't as big over here.
Incredible car! I'm sure I don't want to know what they cost.
