Developed from the short lived Mark III RS1600i a homologation special, for Group A/N competition, launched at the begining of 1983 and gone by September. The 1600i was powered by a 1597cc CVH injection engine with an output of 115bhp, matched with a close ratio five speed transmission.

The RS Turbo followed in 1984, using the same basic engine, but Turbocharged with the use of a Garret AIResearch Turbo, and producing 132bhp which remained throughout its life. The RS Turbo remained in production until 1990, but models can be split into Series 1 based on the Mk.III Escort until 1986 and the Series 2 based on the fourth generation Escort.
The RS Turbo Series 1 was only marketed in a few European nations as production was limited to 5,000 examples, all in white. They were well equipped, with the alloy wheels from the limited production RS 1600i, Recaro seats, and a limited slip differential with only one non white car, a black example built especially for Lady Diana Spencer later HRH Princess of Wales.
