Modern rally cars cannot be bought from a showroom.

Except for Group-N Imprezas and Evos... the last bastion of production based rallying.

I have a real soft spot for the Sport quattro, but as has been said the Escorts did it all, and for everyone. Vatanen's 'Black Escort' is my favourite as it was reckoned to be the ultimate in its time.

I owned this Car after Ari bent it on the 82 Manx. It was a VERY good Escort, great fun to drive.
For Me obviously then the Escort is the greatest rallycar of all time for reasons already explained on here.
Here is DKP when i had it, and with the wonders of the Internet, Myself in DKP having some fun at lydden hill in 1984, my best bit is at 6.10.

So totally ignoring the 'best' bit I can certainly point out some of my favourites.

Loved the Celica, was my favourite as a kid, including the ST185 too. Shame TTE were cheating bds and got the ST205 banned The Impreza, Lancers, Delta and pretty much all the mad Group B cars are amongst the greats for me.

All of the S2000-spec cars are also available to customers, as are the FWD Fiesta and Twingo rally cars.
