2.1L Works/EVO engine. 650
bhp is the highest figures I've seen for a Grp-B car, but there's always bigger turbos, better ecu's, electronic boost control... Might be street legal in Monaco or Macau?

http://groupbrally.com/ford.shtml 840hp beast, looks like a track car to me, Pikes Peak?
Weren't specators also injured or killed in one of the Grp-B crashes? Sad indeed. Imagine what Grp-S would have been like. CF bodies 20 years ago!

I forgot they (the RS200 Evolutions) were 2.1, NOT 2.2 (it's been a LONG time since I've looked at them!).
And yes, I was talking about building one with Mountune and those F1 engine constructors to reach those power levels.
Yes, I would think that crazy 850 hp one is a Pikes Peak car by the rear wing configuration alone, if not everything else!!
And yes, ironically enough, it was a privateer (I remember the name, Santos?) run RS200 that went into the crowd at Rally Portugal, killing 4(?) spectators.
This was the last nail in the coffin for the Group B cars.
