The car sits exactly as it should and drives accordingly.Mechanically, the car is equally impressive. Maintained regardless of cost, it performs strongly and delivers the raw, engaging driving experience that made the Series 1 RS Turbo such a legend of its era. Everything operates as it should, reflecting the level of attention this vehicle has consistently received.A true modern classic, the Series 1 RS Turbo has become one of the most soughtafter performance Fords of the 1980s.
