Weighing just 800 kg, the Ford Escort RS MK1 was recreated with modern materials, reaches 10.000 rpm and costs more than R$2 million. A rare gem for a select few, with surprising technology and power!
Have you ever imagined a classic icon from the 70s being reborn with cutting-edge technology, but without losing the essence of its time? That's exactly what Boreman Motorworks did with the Ford Escort RS MK1. This car, which marked generations between 1973 and 1975, returns with improvements that combine the charm of the past with the performance of the present. And the best part? It offers up to 300 hp of pure emotion.
With just 150 units available, the recreated Ford Escort is not just a car; It's a real dream on wheels. But what makes this classic so special?
The rebirth of the Ford Escort RS MK1
The Ford Escort RS MK1 has been officially recreated and licensed by Ford. However, what was good just got better! Thanks to modern materials such as carbon fiber and new types of steel, the car is lighter and stiffer than the original model. This combination gives the vehicle a new dynamic, making it a masterpiece in terms of engineering.
- Want to buy a good, beautiful, reliable and spacious car? This Kia car is the perfect model for you! With a 1.6 engine, 128 hp, elegant design and consumption of 14 km/L, the Kia Cerato is a great option.
- Volkswagen Gol becomes the KING of classics in 2024: It surpasses the Beetle and leads online sales!
- Hyundai Creta and HB1.0 20 turbo engine loses power with new Proconve L8 rules and leaves consumers in doubt!
- The year has barely begun and Toyota has already presented the Corolla Cross 2026, now even more technological, more stylish and available in several versions!
With a curb weight of just 800 kg, this Ford Escort is lighter than many current compact cars. The carbon fiber used in parts such as the hood and trunk lid not only contributes to this lightness, but also improves overall performance. The result is an agile car that seems to dance with the road.
Power and performance: Up to 300 hp of pure emotion
Enthusiasts have two engine options to choose from. The first is a tribute to the original Twin-Cam, with an increased displacement of 1.845 cc and 185 hp. The second option is a real monster: a naturally aspirated 2.1 engine, which delivers an impressive 300 hp, revs to 10.000 rpm and weighs just 85 kg.
The experience behind the wheel keeps the nostalgic touch with four- or five-speed manual transmissions. The dog-leg model, for example, ensures a visceral connection between driver and machine, as in the golden age of motorsport.
Cutting-edge engineering and remastered design
The engineering has left nothing to chance. With a 55:45 weight distribution, McPherson suspension and a rigid aluminum axle, the car delivers stability without compromising on emotion. It's like a conductor tuning each note for a perfect symphony.
Disc brakes with powerful calipers ensure absolute control, while items such as a roll cage and air conditioning add a touch of modernity and comfort to the interior, without losing the classic spirit.
Exclusivity and price: For the lucky few
This masterpiece will be extremely rare, with only 150 units planned. Each car is assembled with almost artisanal care, ensuring quality and exclusivity.
The price tag? A hefty £295.000 starting price, or around $2,3 million. Yes, it's a hefty investment, but we're talking about a piece of motorsport history reinvented for the future.
The Ford Escort is a tribute to the past with his feet in the present. He proves that classics never go out of style, especially when they receive a modern touch and an extra dose of adrenaline.
