I agree, the RS200 is probably my fave rally/rallycross car ever. Nothing else in either WRC or British Rallycross has the same presence and attracts so much attention.
Talking to Pat Doran's chief mechanic at the August Bank Holiday Lydden event, he said that the 2.0 BDT-E Brian Hart engine was producing 806 bhp and surely with the modern aerodynamics, sequential box, launch control etc it must surely be the quickest rallycross RS200 ever.
Performance figures in the region of 0-60 < 2secs, 0-100 < 5secs and 0-100-0 < 9secs......so i've been told.
The pikes peak example drove by Stig Blomquist looks awesome too. That apparently has 836bhp but from a specially built 2.4 engine. Have got a video of it somewhere tesing at Rockingham.
Oh, and Doran's car will be at the Autosport International show at the NEC in January with Carnegie, McCluskey and Gollop also. They'll be doing demos in the Live Action Arena.
