Ford Evolution?

Here's something to get your juices flowing. I can't even believe I was in the same room with these cars much less have my nose to the glass! The plaque is for the blue and white factory race car. The white one is listing for $160,000.

kinda cool looking but I really hate the front end on it. Reminds me of the old AMC Pacers back in the early 80's!

No offense, but you must have no idea what you are looking at.

Yes, Vegas. You've seen them too?

Dudes, this is the BADDEST turbo AWD car ever developed. Cosworth built. It is everything our car wishes it was. Currect technology, 20 years ago.

It just so happens that there are two 6R4's in that same gallery. Here's one of them.

On my brothers pc in Austin there was a french made doc that was called "clime Dance" were this era Pug was climing pikes peak with 800+ BHP it won tons of indie film fests and really was an amazing camera angles and the like also you could hear the engine tone changing as the altitude climed sputtering and backfiring in the low air.

Holy crap, that thing is insane!!! I'd be skeered to drive it. Looks like a timebomb on wheels.

...mmm, I remember seeing the street version of the Audi Coupe in Germany in the mid-80's... 300bhp AWD ... just awesome. Too bad they never released that one in the US.

I think the RS200 is still listed as the fastest (quickest?) production street car by Guiness ... 0-60 in 3.2 seconds or so. ...on the down side it was supposed to be very difficult to drive not at all well behaved like our Evos.
