Ford Mustang RSX
Now if there’s
bad timing then this concept could have been it. The Rallye Sport Experimental
was first shown at the Chicago Auto Show back in 1979, having been designed by
Ford’s Ghia studio in Turin. They took a standard Fox Body Mustang cut 6”s from
its chassis, widened it by an inch or so and removed the rear seats but kept
the four cylinder 2.3ltr turbo charged engine. The new body was designed to be
more aerodynamic with the rear wing reducing drag and those doors were supposed
to look like glass in reality they were plexiglass.
Now I mentioned
bad timing, in 1979 Group B rallying was still 4 years away and this thing
would, well on paper, have suited it down to a T. It just make you wonder if
Ford Europe had forgotten about it when they were instructed to create the
RS2000. So this car remains as a concept as truth be told it didn’t have a market to
be sold in.
