In order to achieve the minimalist target weight of 800 kg To achieve this, the engineers rely on Carbon for the hood, body parts and interior.
with modern LED lights
The Boreham Escort remains true to the original dimensions, but complements them with distinctive fender cheeks and chic LED lights, reminiscent of earlier racing cars. Bumpers were deliberately omitted - a statement for the pure appearance of the compact sports car.
Pure power for real driving pleasure
There are two engines to choose from under the hood. The base is a bored-out 1,8-liter twin-cam four-cylinder with 185 PS and a four-speed manual transmission. For even more adrenaline, a completely newly developed 2,1 liter vacuum cleaner up to 300 PS and a speed limit of insane 10.000 revolutions per minuteWeighing just 85 kg, it is a technical masterpiece. The power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a five-speed sports transmission.
The chassis is greatly improved
Completely new chassis components ensure modern handling. Aluminium and titanium axles, a limited-slip differential and a specially tuned coilover guarantee that the Boreham Escort feels just as comfortable on the road as it does on the race track. It completely dispenses with electronic driving aids such as ABS or ESP – what counts is pure, unadulterated driving pleasure.
Motorsport feeling in the interior
The interior of the Escort also impresses with a well-thought-out mix of retro charm and modern functionality. Bucket seats, a roll cage and fine materials such as Alcantara and carbon create an atmosphere like in a racing car. And the analogue round instruments and the cool toggle switches underline the classic look, while the climate control and smartphone integration in the radio offer a touch of modernity.
Exclusivity has its price
