Well, OK, a kit car replica, but RWD, and based on a Cossie Sierra.

See here: www.rsautomotive.co.uk

I've found loads of info, but would REALLY like to find a real road-going one that I could look at, and photograph to help my project.

Any pointers gratefully received.

Thanks, Alcazar

Quite a faithful reproduction, looks cool

I wonder what the Motorsport Spec version would cost?

Mark Miwurdz

Why not buy the company?

Where's Cman? Didn't he have one? Or am I thinking of Richard Squire? Someone here had one, sold it eventually as it was a handful IIRC...

Richard Squire had one Sold it when he moved to Oz I believe Apparently it was mental though

Phil M

A mate of mine has one, built it himself. Is fantastic

Mr.Cookie

Richard's RS200 was indeed mental

I remember driving through germany and he put his foot down car jump a foot either way then just went left me for dust, Johns Westfield chased after lol

Si

FASTER MIKE!!

There used to be one in DP Motorsport (Genuine RS200) in Warrington. Some fella who owned a very modified green 911 turbo used to store it there. DP have moved now though so I dont know if it is still with them. They might be able to help you though?

Dont look quite as good in those Ebay pics though - the front wheels dont sit right.

220bhp, RWD, <1200kg and (what appears to be) a short wheelbase. It's gonna be a bit lively! Excellent!

rsquire

LOL... Not half as lively as

570bhp and 475 lb/ft and 1200kg

oh and 0 to 60mph in 2.7 secs

The one that I had was a road version that had been upgraded to almost full EVO spec. It had the evo head , gearbox , brakes and a pectel engine management system..

It would break traction and spin all four wheels.....

Nothing unusual about that you say....

Well this baby would do it changing up from 4th to 5th at 150mph!!!!!!!

The trip to the Nurburgring was a real highlight.. i have a video from that trip and driving the car on motorways was an amazing experience the white lines on the road almost become solid as the car accelerates like no car I have ever been in.

Mind you my first lap of the 'ring must be the slowest on record LOL..

New to the car, my first lap ever of the ring, it was snowing and the car was on A032R semi slick tyres LOL

I drove one of those when the company was selling the car as the Kara about 10 years ago, the cost then for a fully built one was £25k, got to say I was very tempted.

Was doing a trackday at Wroughton a few years ago in the Scoob & one of these was way behind me as I was going round a dogleg bend before I new it he was passing me I was doing about 80-90 he must of being doing 150 the way he went passed awesome machines.

RSquire! jeez long time no speak!

she was an animal in every sense of the word. driving her woulda truly been better than sex...

weird as i tried to email you yesterday!

Nurburgring?

What a car As Matt said, I'll never forget going in Richard's car. Christ what an animal. Even changing gear was an event. Mr Cookie is not joking when he said the car jumped sideways as the power was applied. Bloody thing spun its tyres in all 5 gears !!

I do seem to recall looking over at the speedo while travelling through France and seeing it rapidly approaching 150mph on low boost and there was still nearly 2000 rpm to go before the redline !!!

The funniest thing was the way it would stall below about 4000 rpm because of the trick clutch (I think) - didn't half make a racket pulling into the petrol station - people looking at you thinking whose that idiot who can't drive

The best thing was a small 15 year old Ford got more looks and attention in the car park at Nurburgring than several million pounds worth of exotic Porsche's and Ferrari's

Without doubt the fastest cars I've ever been in.

Chris

between the clutch and the tight diffs and the undersized steering wheel it was a biatch to drive slow

one of the bigger regrets in my life is that i'll probably never get another chance to drive an RS200...
