Team RS
Team RS are experts in homologation and have treated enthusiasts to some of the finest motorsport-derived sportscars in the entire history of the automobile.
The first, in 1970, the Escort RS1600 was a rally car without stickers and the same could be said of the latest Focus RS - it shares suspension settings with the WRC rally car.
Best car: Ford Focus RS (2009-)
The RS is sensational to drive, offers unbelievable traction (despite being front-wheel drive) and is a performance bargain.
What were they thinking: Ford RS200
The RS200 was a refugee of the terrifying Group B rally car that went on to be banned. As a road car it was as rough and edgy to drive as the 650bhp rally car.
