Introduced in 1984, the RS200 was a mid-engined, turbocharged sports car. It featured lightweight body construction, a 2.1-liter engine with 250 hp, and two seats. This was a race car with no intention of hiding it. Thanks to all-wheel drive, it could jump from 0 to 60 mph in five seconds flat. The road version, of which 200 left the factory, was detuned from 450 compared to 500 hp in the race version (via Essex Police).

The RS200 was basically a homologation special with no real-life usability. However, somehow, several examples were sold to British police, which used them as high-speed chase cars for the better part of the ’80s.
