Only 24 Evo's were ever made. In racing trim they were said to have over 900 hp out of a 2.1l 4 cylinder (hence the massive roof scoops, awd and weighing only 2,600 lbs.

In stock trim it has around 600 hp and had the Guinness world record for 0-60 time (3.0 seconds) for a production car for 12 years.

All from a humble Ford.

Wow!
Forgive my ignorance

Most people don't know much about these cars because group B racing was cancelled right after Ford made them.

Like I said before, worth reading about the history of Group B and the Ford RS200 if you have time. I feel every time I google it I get lost for hours.

Also on top list
But Christian is the KING
He did everything him self, nobody has done this in car industry in this short time.
He invented things that nobody has.
A lot of manufacturers have many decades in manufacturing cars
McLaren has advantages from racing and F1

Christian started from scratch

I loved mine, both on the road and on track:

Track aside, I thought about getting another one to DD but the main reason I chose the M5C is because it advertises similar performance but in a car that's slightly practical.

We shall see.

One thing is for sure, there's not many frowns that won't get turned upside down after about five TTS launches.

It was an awesome car, but there are others as well at that level.

For example my GTR had similar performance but was a lot more raw and fun to drive than the TTS. And that car is even better on track.

And yes, I have automotive attention deficit disorder issues.

Most mine money goes on cars
And I really don't care!!
As long as mine family and home is secure, I will enjoy cars

Life is to short not too!!!!

soulsea · 01-29-2019, 07:59 PM

Agreed.

Anyhow, to get back on topic, my dream car was a GT2RS.

I secured an allocation last year for a PTS/Weissach one and it's on a boat as we speak ... should be here in a couple of weeks.

The anticipatory winkle squeezing has begun.
