The Ford RS200 is a mid-engined, all-wheel-drive sports car that was produced by Reliant Motor Company for Ford Motorsport in Shenstone, UK, from 1984 to 1986. The road-going RS200 was the basis for Ford's Group B rally car and was designed to comply with FIA homologation regulations, which required 200 cars to be completed.
