@KoMDraegast RS cars are made by ford europe, and cars like the escort, capri and fiesta are made and designed fron the ground up in europe even the rally cars are made in europe just because the badge is american doesnt mean they are made in america

Pity it's got "WRC" in the link title when it's not a WRC car...

I also like how there's a specific section of the video to make excuses for it not being 4wd ("lets get the WRC driver in to tell everyone for us"). I can accept the point that it may not need to be 4wd to put the power down, but it still gives the car different dynamics. The idea of it being "perfectly designed" as Mikko says is a bit misleading; it weighs nearly as much as its 4wd competitors!

This will be the LAST of the great ford RS cars! From the next gen they will be making these for the american market, and you just need to look at subarus and evos to see what happens when that happens!
