вЂњThe cars will be all signed off by Andy, just as we did in period, with the provenance that can only come from the man who engineered and drove the cars to such success.вЂќ вЂњRS500s are also a great draw for the fans that fondly remember these fire-breathing monsters. вЂњRS500s are great fun to drive, relatively easy to maintain and considerably more affordable to run than Super Touring cars. вЂњDemand for competitive Group A machines is rising, enabling access to some of the best motorsport events around the globe for correct cars,вЂќ says Strachan. Prices start at ВЈ185,000В ($329,000 AUD) with options for spares packages and liveries. They will also include the correct gauges, metal brake master cylinder reservoir and specific ARE build plate and will be supplied in plain white. The cars will feature a Getrag five-speed gearbox, Proflex Advanced Technology fuel system and later 9вЂќ viscous differential. They include front suspension uprights, rear arms, fuel tank enclosures, heated screens, side-exit exhausts and the Rouse-designed steel roll cage.Д®ach car will use a freshly built 575bhp Cosworth YB engine with input from original ARE engine builder Vic Drake, who in period produced over 100 RS500 engines.

Strachan worked for Rouse in period and has access to drawings and data to reproduce Rouse-specific parts for the cars.

Sanctioned by Rouse, each will carry an ARE build plate and be eligible for key historic events and series in the UK. The first car features an unused motorsport shell from the era and is set to be completed in 2022 35 years after the RS500 variant of the Sierra received its Group A homologation. This unused вЂ909вЂ™ motorsport shell is the basis of the first of three cars. Rouse dominated the Group A class of the British Touring Car Championship aboard RS500s in 1988 and вЂ™89 the same time Dick Johnson and his Shell team were crushing the Australian touring car scene.Д¬NC Motorsport now plans to build three RS500s to 1990 Andy Rouse Engineering specification, each from an original bodyshell.
