Remember when rally cars were made by and for the competition? Today and for many years rally cars are street cars prepared to a lesser or greater extent, to comply with regulations. But sometimes they have created real racing cars Ford RS160 that have walked the street just by regulations.
Former Group B are an example, designed for racing beasts who came to the street as nonsense with the minimum units required to enroll. It also happens to car circuit, but let’s stays with this proposal Ken Nagasaka, what he calls Ford RS160.
This is a prototype, an idea that would encourage Ford to return to rallying strongly. It is designed with the intent to engage in competition, but surely require a limited number of production units carried to homologate in its category. In fact, almost need a separate category.

Well it does not look like any real car. Quite small, introduces a streamlined and futuristic body where the airflow plays a major role. Thus, front input ports connected to the back of the fins, and these integrated with the rear spoiler body.
The engine arrangement would be central but a block driving with the known assembly. It would be the same 1.6 turbo which now moves to the Ford Fiesta WRC. It also would have a permanent four wheel drive system and the whole suspension system that currently has the WRC.
The Ford RS160, remembering the name of the Ford RS200, would be an alternative approach to current WRC, with a provision which, a priori, could be even more effective than current racing cars. This is a simple project that is unlikely to reach the world of racing or street, but we cannot rule out any real prototype for classrooms.
