When was the last time you saw a Ford Escort in the wild? And possibly one at that modified copy a special series? Unfortunately, an escort in Germany is a vehicle that, in our opinion, receives far too little attention. Special series like that Escort Cosworth or an RS Turbo would probably gather dust at a backyard dealer in this country, or vegetate and rust in a barn without anyone noticing. It's different in Great Britain, because there the escort enjoys almost the same status that a VW Golf has with us. And the tuning scene also loves him and his successor, the Focus. Tuners know that too Robert Hamiltonwho shot the vehicle that we are introducing to you today in more detail on Ebay for a reasonable price, it is completely new built up and modified.
Classic that passes as a sleeper!
Tuner Robert knew exactly that such a classic Escort RS Turbo no major remodeling needed on the exterior, as this would quickly become a Fair tuning match. Rather, with such a vehicle, it is appropriate to restore it completely and as original as possible in order not to risk a loss in value.
So only came adjustable dampers from Avo and H&R sport springs are used, which ensure a slight lowering effect and improve the handling of the vehicle. The escort also has 7 × 16-inch RS seven-spoke rims made of aluminum, which also high-sheen became. On the rims were Tires 195/45 R16 mounted by Toyo.
From our point of view, the rims fit perfectly with the classic, because they look sporty and dynamic, and at the same time ensure a wow factor with the star design. In our opinion you can be seen with the oldie Ford at every tuning meeting, and also at one Classic meeting you cut a good figure with it.
Modern features found their way into the interior!
By and large, that is Cockpit Series remained and was also restauriert. At the same time, however, came modern ones Additional Devices from the 3D printer, which show the boost pressure and oil pressure. There is also a modern one Sound system in the car that out Alpine speakers and two Subwoofers consists. The subwoofers were discreetly housed in a box, which is located in the trunk. So you can enjoy the best sound while driving, and make long journeys comfortable.
1,6-liter turbo gasoline engine drives the Escort RS Turbo!
The engine has one Garret T34 Turbo, forged pistons from Accralite, one sharp camshaft by Piper named 285 T2 and was also on injection rearranged. This joins in Cosworth P8 engine management, a Water / methanol injection, Intercooler from Airtec as well as a Compressor the same company. The performance is approx 250 PSwhen the engine is with 21 psi boost pressure is driven.
So it should be in the under 1.000 kg light escort move forward properly, because the turbo has easy play with the low weight of the vehicle. The power is transmitted via a Five-speed manual on the front wheels, which is why this generation of the Ford Escort was the first with front-wheel drive.
