: Mk6 Fiesta RS

Ford fans had been crying out for a true Fiesta RS since the ’70s. Rumours fired up with every new generation, and in 2003 we finally got a glimpse—concepts inspired by Ford’s JWRC cars.

British designer Chris Clements gave the Mk6 a wide-arch rally look with road-car polish. The second concept looked production-ready, and many thought it was a sure thing.

Under the bonnet it could’ve had a detuned Focus RS turbo 2.0 or even a 2.3 Duratec. Either way, it would’ve been a hit on looks alone.

But at nearly £20k, it risked costing more than a Focus RS. The idea was shelved, and the Fiesta RS remained a dream.

👉 Should Ford have made it, or was it always doomed by price?

A proper exhaust system can change everything – power, sound, and style. But what makes a good one?

“A well-designed custom exhaust doesn’t just sound better – it helps your engine breathe and boosts performance.”

Whether you're chasing noise, looks, or power, a custom exhaust is a core upgrade. This Fast Car guide covers everything from backbox deletes to full turbo-back systems.

Learn about pipe diameters, materials, bends, resonators, and the difference between cheap kits and well-fabricated setups. The guide also explores how exhaust design affects turbo spool, backpressure, and heat management.

Want crackles, flames, and flow without drone? This is where to start.

: Mustang RSX

Every now and then we uncover a Ford that could’ve rewritten history. The Mustang RSX is one of them. Dubbed the “Coolest Mustang Never Built”, it was Ford’s idea of taking the Mustang rallying.

Designed by Ghia, the RSX sat on a shortened Foxbody platform—six inches shorter, an inch wider, with no rear seats. Sleek lines, glass-look doors, and rally-ready stance made it look like nothing else in Ford’s lineup.

Under the bonnet was a 2.3-litre turbo four cylinder—compact, powerful, and brimming with tuning potential just as the turbo era was taking off.



Had it been built, could the RSX have rivalled legends like the Alpine and Stratos? Would classic Ford fans lust after an RSX instead of Mk2 Es**rts? Sadly, it stayed a concept—but imagine if Ford had gone all-in…

👉 What do you think—missed opportunity or wild fantasy?

to November 2021, when we uncovered the incredible story of Malcolm Wilson’s 1993 Michelin Pilot Es**rt Cosworth — thought lost forever, now fully restored and back to its best.

Imagine leading a WRC rally in a car… then losing all trace of it for decades. That’s exactly what happened to Es**rt RS Cosworth K200 FMC — the works-built Group A car Malcolm Wilson drove in the ’93 Swedish Rally.

Wilson shared the fastest time on the opening stage with Kankkunen and McRae, then beat them all on Stage 2 to lead the rally outright. But it all ended on Stage 3 when a pace note error sent the car off over a crest and into the trees. Retired. Damaged. Forgotten.

From there, the car bounced between promotional events, the BRC with Robbie Head, a rumoured trip to Indonesia, a heavy crash in Kuwait, and eventually turned up wrecked in Estonia. Most wrote it off. But Finnish rally nut Jukka Metsälä knew better — and took on a meticulous, period-correct restoration to return the car to its original Michelin Pilot glory.

The car was unveiled to Malcolm at the 2016 Finnish Rally. He was so impressed, he had it displayed alongside the M-Sport WRC cars. Later, he even sent a signed letter confirming it’s the real deal.

📍 First featured in Fast Ford, November 2021.

One-off? One of many? Either way, this is proper Ford rally history. Could this be the best Cossie comeback ever? 👇
