Weighing Only 800 Kg, the Ford Escort RS MK1 Was Recreated with Modern Materials, Reaching 10,000 RPM and Costing Over R$ 2 Million. A Rare Gem for a 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 its essence? 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 blend the charm of the past with the performance of the present. And the best part? It offers up to 300 hp of pure excitement.

With only 150 units available, the recreated Ford Escort is not just a car; it’s a true dream on wheels. But what makes this classic so special?

The Rebirth of the Ford Escort RS MK1

The Ford Escort RS MK1 was recreated to honor the iconic model from the 70s, bringing its essence to the present day. Blending nostalgia and technology, it caters to classic car enthusiasts seeking exclusivity and performance.

The Ford Escort RS MK1 was officially and licensed recreated by Ford. However, what was good became even better! Thanks to modern materials like carbon fiber and new types of steel, the car is lighter and stiffer than the original model. This combination gave the vehicle a new dynamic, making it a masterpiece in terms of engineering.

With a final weight of only 800 kg, this Ford Escort is lighter than many current compact cars. The carbon fiber used in parts like the hood and trunk lid not only contributes to this lightness but also improves overall performance. The result is a nimble car that seems to dance with the road.

Power and Performance: Up to 300 HP of Pure Excitement

Enthusiasts have two engine options available. The first is a tribute to the original Twin-Cam, with an expanded capacity of 1,845 cm³ and 185 hp. The second option is a true monster: a 2.1 naturally aspirated engine, delivering an impressive 300 hp, with revs hitting 10,000 rpm and weighing only 85 kg.

The driving experience maintains the nostalgic touch with four or five-speed manual gearboxes. The dog-leg model, for example, ensures a visceral connection between driver and machine, just like in the golden days of motorsport.

Cutting-Edge Engineering and Remastered Design

Engineering left nothing to chance. With a weight distribution of 55:45, McPherson suspension, and an aluminum solid axle, the car delivers stability without compromising excitement. It’s like a conductor tuning each note for a perfect symphony.

Disc brakes with powerful calipers ensure absolute control, while items like a safety cage and air conditioning add a touch of modernity and comfort to the interior, without losing the classic spirit.

Exclusivity and Price: For a Few Lucky Ones

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? A hefty starting value of £295,000, or about R$ 2.3 million. Yes, it’s a high investment, but we are talking about a piece of motorsport history reinvented for the future.

The Ford Escort is a tribute to the past with its feet in the present. It proves that classics never go out of style, especially when they receive a modern touch and an extra dose of adrenaline.
