The Ford RS200 was designed by british engineers in britain to be precise

'It's Like a Ballet'... respect Michelle, still love you

Fire up the quattro!

You know what's baffling? Back then, we almost HAD.

The Ford RS200 car in its Group B variant, to be precise. Also four-wheel-drive, also could (allegedly) get about the same output. As to why it never stepped up to the plate, I don't know. I'd think that when there's a team to beat, you get the best engineers and drivers you can to beat that team, but I guess I don't know anything about motorsports, do I?

The Big Three in Detroit lived in the good 'ol days of the 1950's and 1960's for far too long to realize they had lost the plot. Traditionally all the really innovative makers in the USA were independent and had to go up against "big business", be it cars, computers or even commercial entertainment.

Yeah because your not afraid of having your car crashed.
