Production takes place in Thailand. The original car is the Ford RS200—a two-door homologation special designed by Ford Europe to meet FIA Group B requirements for the World Rally Championship. The regulations required building at least 200 road-legal examples, so between 1984 and 1986, the Reliant Motor Company produced exactly 200 units in Shenstone, England. The car featured a mid-engine layout and four-wheel drive, with the gearbox positioned at the front. The powertrain was a 1.8-liter turbocharged Ford-Cosworth BDT four-cylinder engine, producing 250 hp in the road version and between 350 and 450 hp in racing variants. The RS200's best result was a third-place finish at the 1986 Swedish Rally. After that season, the FIA abolished Group B, causing the car to lose its purpose after only one year of full competition. Models from the Hot Wheels Boulevard series are not included in mainline sets, making their availability limited to premium line shipments. The iconic status of Group B, the rally livery, and the metal base with rubber tires make the Ford RS200 JBL29 a highly sought-after item for both rally enthusiasts and Ford brand collectors.
