You must be completely clueless… A Landcruiser has exactly the same thing that switches the car from two wheel to all wheel drive. Seriously, if you couldn’t figure this out, you obviously have ZERO knowledge about cars. I’m not at all someone with extensive knowledge but I knew what this was as soon as I looked at it.

Loads went to rallycross after group B ban.

​@@koop5365 this car ended group B rallying.

​@@CS-zn6pp it was more like the Lancia Delta S4 ended Group B since that's the car that Henri Tolvanen died in and just hours after the accident, Group B cars were banned for the next season.

@@FaintAcrobat You're only half right. It was in fact the Ford RS200 that put Group B on the path of being shut down. The 2nd race (Portugal) of the 1986 season, an RS200 fresh off the starting line ended up running over a group of spectators. the spectators were crowding the turn and the RS200 had no way to miss them. The end result was 3 were killed instantly and the 4th died from injuries. The Lancia Delta S4 crash and deaths happened later on in the 1986 season. They used *Both* examples of loss of life from *Both* cars to shut down Group B for the following season.

Noo.. It was Cosworth. UK. Same as the Le Mans Ford

People with this behavior is gaining many comments and views on youtube. Shame

Yeah it’s what you do when your desperate for attention and not trying to deliver actual content.

​@@yourbadger5486Unfortunately we've missed the boat, unless you've got loads in the bank. When Group B was scrapped because it was so dangerous they where sold off for pennies on the pound.

Thank you!

It's a beautiful machine.

Group b... the only racing class canceled for killing too many people. Drivers and spectators...

The Audi Quattro, Lancia Delta S4, Peugeot 205 Evo, Renault 5 Turbo, and this.. Thanks to Gran Turismo for introducing me to these Group B icons.

Love the RS200. That's why I chose it as my profile picture a long time ago.

​@@AlphaNova888as it should be

My 2.0t in my golf gti is pushing -550 to the wheels and make 618 on the engine dyno.

But that is with DOHC and 20 valves right? And don't they have both port and direct injection instead of only port or mechanical injection?

​@Usr01 yeah with modern technology I presume? This was made in 1984-86. Pretty insane numbers for that time

It's a 1.8 too so even madder

in the 80s, during the turbo era of formula one, there was a bmw 4 cyl used by a few teams. these cars made upwards of 1500hp in quali trim. without the massive turbo, the 4cyl would've made around 140hp. 4 cylinders can be nuts

DId he figure out what the gear shift does too ?

I literally laughed out loud and farted when I read your comment.

I was going to say, if you need a specialist for that you should spend more time on KZfaq and less time making videos

@@chrisbowie6019 Or, he should spend more time with a specialist.

Ok

Feels like he’s on the wrong specialty. If he pretends to know about cars, this was very obvious not to know.

How far would he have had to look for the opener?

Just a good excuse to ramble on about the car and make a video

Specialist aka anyone who is interested in rally or offroad for at least 5 minutes

I would too

Ford liked to experiment. Composite oil pan gaskets. Bits of cork held together with silicone. They always failed and clogged the oil pickup. I got a new engine in my Ranger from that.

I think most smart small children would tell you that an engine that that small and powerful is going to create really high temperatures, plastic and high temperatures? He was correct the guys that decided to put plastic parts anywhere near that motor were idiots. 😆

@@gerrybailey447 80's plastic, sure. Though, carbon fiber is technically a form of plastic, and yet it's used for heat-resistant applications all the time.

@@joshjlmgproductions3313still though if it’s a full fledged rally car why would you use plastic anywhere near the motor at all

martin was correct

In race trim, road cars weren't anything near that

Not really huge turbos and it's not American... 6.7 litre engines 150bhp standard American engines are total was of petrol...

they were detuned to about 400 hp for the road cars but were more than capable of being turned up to 600+ in factory form. That being said, 400 hp in a 2600 lb car was insane, even for today's standards. In today's realm, nearly identical HP/weight ratio to a Porsche GT3 although this specific car is closer to a GT2 RS in terms of HP/weight.

Their was 1 that was tuned to something like 800bhp in the 1980s and it managed to do something like 180mph

2.1 Cosworth BDT - E engine, the original was a 1.8 Cosworth BDT, Think i was told a guy called Brian Hart in the UK built the EVO 2.1 engines? It was famous in the late 1980s for doing a 0 - 60 in 2.6 seconds

Group b minimum pushing around 500hp

Part of a family that started with the old BDA engine, the BDA was pushing mk1 escorts along fast enough the chase plans couldn't keep up with them on fast rally stages, they sound amazing at 10,000rpm.

600 hp is still high as per today standard too

That car is still insane dude. Lol everyone's acting like they never seen Ken block's. It's been insane for over 30 years now. Legendary historical piece right there.

@@mrarivv0007 well to be fair ken block's (god rest his soul) cars were engineered when tool already well developed making things a bit easier, but in the 80s tools and techniques were quite limited so to me that is REALLY impressive how they can come up with stuff like this car, but still ken block were legendary in his own way :)

I don't know what the fuck you're talking about 350 is a lot, 400 is very a lot, 500 is mental, and 600 is still insane by today's standards

Out of a 2 litre I4. That's pretty damn impressive even today if you ask me.

No, no you wouldn't

Facts. Focus Rs, escort, Fiesta wrc, rs200, sierra.. etc

and Australian Ford as well Mate

All Ford divisions where quite independant for quite long globally.

I have a Ford of Europe car here in North America, it's called the 2nd Gen Ford Kuga, but we know it as the 3rd gen Ford Escape, thanks to Ford's "One Ford Policy" to turn all of their cars into World Cars, like the Mondeo/Fusion, Focus, Fiesta, Edge, Explorer, Mustang, Transit, and Ranger

Good possibility it was a kit car not real deal as it was driving normally broken down

Remember the R6 metro that was banned for being too good

😂😂😂😂😂

No, I don’t think that’s what it is.

@@stewartj3407 Then explain what you think it is then, smart guy.

@@Gold171 it’s the overdrive shifter knob.

​@Stewart J no the overdrive knob is on the normal knob where the '5' is 😂

@Stewart J don't think that's your problem just do a little Google ing and learn

Like a Autozam AZ-1 hit the gym

It's British designed and built so takes ideas from there not the US.

Cosworth did, not ford.

Yeah, it was Cosworth who did all the engine work not Ford.

@@Kit_Bear . . and it was as reliable as a chocolate fireguard as it was a 1.8 litre engine that produced only 350 - 400bhp . .

The Evo made 420 HP when it was released in 1984-1986. Still insane power for back then and even today with its power to weight ratio. I’m going to assume it was tuned to 600 HP and hope that this dude didn’t blurt out a random number to sound good.

Im still wondering what kind of engine it is? Maybe a custom block to handle the 600hp?

Not to mention the spectators too!! They were just as insane!

Yeah thia thing is a little monster

One of the most historic Group B vehicles and this guy said attempt....

yep. the RS200 was a Group B monster and competed heavily with the legends like the Lancia Delta, Audi Sport Quattro and Peugeot 205

Whelp there goes my dreams😅

​@@cheefkeeflol Though they are rare, they do sprout up every now and again.

​@@cheefkeeflol But yes, they are very very expensive. I think older Euro cars are more expensive to import than JDM.

@@yeejay6396 yeah.... dont got that type of money at all

Cheaper than I thought. I assumed double that at least. Very rare.

I was fairly sure it was something to do with VGT. Pretty sure one of the Group B rally cars had a variable turbo you modulate in real time whether you want more spool-less high end power or higher power- slow spool time

I knew it was the transfer case immediately. Not sure why he had to make a video about his cluelessness.

Apparently in the 80s and 90s people had brains

If I remember correctly, the difference between 4WD and AWD is if you can disable one side or not, where four wheel drive can select a two wheel mode, but all wheel drive is always all wheels all the time.

@@Fightre_Flighte True. But these days AWDs lines blur with 4WD. Some cars like the will change the torque split between front and rear. Some cars do it automatically some you can control(like the WRX) Some cars like the Golf R will be front wheel drive when driving around normally and when the car starts to slip or under hard acceleration it will start to send power to the rear wheels. By only sending power to the front wheels for normal driving you improve fuel economy as you're not suffering from parasitic losses by going though the center differential and rear differential.

Ford motor company had little to do with it it was Cosworth.

600 was in full race trim at full boost. It was rarely run with that .uch power. This road going version is barely over 300. This buffoon has no clue what he is talking about.

1.8 bored out to 2.1 I do believe unbelievable unreliable but I love them

The engine stated life as a 1700cc BDT build for the rs1700t escorts then was increased to the 1800cc BDT for the rs200. It had 250bhp in road trim there was extra stuff available to buy from Ford to up the road trim to 300bhp. In race trim it produced 350bhp to 450bhp. Then ford made 24 rs200 EVO 2100cc BDTE. Road going cars had 600bhp and the race trim ones where 750bhp to 900bhp.

@@upurkilt7246 while you are correct on the engines development. Your power numbers are the kind of thing a boy racer would dream up. In Group-B competition rally trim, the cars in top power configuration barely made 500 BHP. Usually closer to 350-400, purely for drivability. This was also true of the 205 T16, and the Delta S4. And in fact, drivers regularly called for the cars to be detuned, and run less boost, to make them easier to handle. If you look at the most highly modified variants of the RS200, you can see the hill climb and RallyCross versions of the car through the 90's. Those British Rally Cross cars were only rated to 600-750, depending on tuning. One of the most famous hill climb cars, which has been to Goodwood multiple times, has only been rated at around 600. One of the most highly modified RS200's, that attacked Pikes Peaks, was fully modernized, and running massive levels of boost, and it managed to make a whopping 930 horse power! But again, that is a fully modern version of the car. Not an OG from 1987, and not the 250-300 horsepower road car. Please don't spread fake numbers. Keep the history alive, by keeping it accurate.

@@bigbuckoramma like I said the 1800cc from the first generation rs200 (not evolution spec) where 250bhp in road form and 350bhp to 450bhp in race trim from 1984 to end of 1985......... in 1986 ford took 24 cars and built "homologation spec" cars (evolution) with the BDTE engine that was 2100cc ran a clamed 600bhp from ford from the factory and that was sold to the public, (the car in the video) there was originally only going to be 20 cars for public sale but with the banning of the group b championships ford took the 4 cars going to be made for the next class up in group b the B/12 (2000cc+) with the new 2100cc BDTE engine instead of the B/11 class (1600cc - 1999cc) that the original rs200 ran in as it was a 1800cc BDT engine.......... The developer of the 2100cc BDTE engines in the evolution rs200 brian hart said the engines in race form are capable of producing 750bhp to almost 900bhp in full race trim. So you are getting the 2 specifications of car mixed up as there are 2 different engines from the original rs200 and the rs200evo..... There is a famous rs200 that was converted to the ISMA GTO spec that ran a 2000cc BDTE and ran 750bhp and cable of 900hp in 1988 till 1991 series. It now resides in Ireland and if you look up "RS200 IMSA" on youtube ken block is doing a walk round the car with the owner. Also The "monster energy drink pikes peak" rs200 engine is a Julian Godfrey Engineering specific built engine. Julian started with an 1800cc BDT engine bored out to 2400cc making a reliable 925bhp due to the more modern tech with the potential for alot more if needed as Julian has said in an interview when asked about the engine and said it can make 1200bhp no issues ... I agree with you that 100% of the groups b cars never ran at full potential due to reliability and making it through the events but still at the same they all hat the potential for over 600bhp regardless. Audi had plans to make over 1000bhp in the evo2 quattro but that was stamped out for not needing that much power. my power figures are correct, aswell as all the other information I gave. So instead of saying I'm spreading false information and dreaming of "boy racer" power levels, look up all the information I said, it is all online and its all in black and white so do some due diligence and Have a nice evening👍

There is a car that looks exactly like this and has roughly around 70hp they're called the mazda az-1.

Also another fun fact only 2 out of those 200 were red!

He's not a very good “specialist”, then. I've seen one of those, and it wasn't even that special of a car (it was an old, cheapo Suzuki Vitara).
