Hatchback Sharp, shallow breaths start to fog the inside of the visor, so you reach up to open it a crack, before engaging the starter and enjoying the frantic WUH-wuh-WUH-wuh-WUH-wuh before the hot YB catches and settles immediately into a busy idle, like a demijohn full of enraged wasps. The crackle of the exhaust reverberates around the car, creating its own sonic bubble that irresistibly draws the gaze of every rally-jacketed enthusiast in the vicinity; it echoes from the support vans and marshal stations as you flex your right ankle to test the throttle travel, a volley of pops and bangs your just reward. The Escort rockets forward with improbable thrust, your co-pilot already calmly but insistently outlining the angle details of the approaching corners. Gravel clatters and pings from the undercarriage, while wind rushes malevolently over that swooping rear spoiler. The celestial few are able to make a living out of it, a bunch of enthusiasts try their hand in an amateur capacity, but for most of us this is all just the stuff of unattainable dreams. Nevertheless I left contact details with him, and about a year later he called me and a deal was done! The fact that the car exists at all is, in fact, something of a marvel. Homologation has become a trendy buzzword for marketing departments to flog special editions, but back in the nineties this stuff was serious: the road-going EsCos only came into existence because Ford wanted to go rallying, and the Group A regs demanded a certain number of models sitting on the forecourts with number plates and tax discs. As for the engine, that was treated to a lightened and balanced forged crank, bespoke cams, forged pistons, and the head was extensively polished and ported to allow for some pretty massive valvegear. The lubrication system is of a far larger capacity and features a magnesium sump, while the fuelling system sports twin high-pressure pumps. All of this led to an even bhp, delivered with ferocious urgency. And the transmission? And that was just the original Group A spec; the WRC cars had bhp, multi-link rear suspension, and fully reworked aerodynamics. WRC Escorts were, it goes without saying, phenomenally serious bits of kit. When our man Tom was finally able to sign his name on the registration document. We replaced the Perspex windows with glass too, just to give it a bit of a sharper look!

WRC Escorts were, it goes without saying, phenomenally serious bits of kit. When our man Tom was finally able to sign his name on the registration document. We replaced the Perspex windows with glass too, just to give it a bit of a sharper look! Sharp is a handy adjective to describe this car — it looks vicious and brutal from every angle, from the pumped-up arches stretched over that wider track to the artfully scarred rear bumper corners and the glutinous gobs of spent rubber inside the wheel-wells. With so many years spent roaring at trees and spitting flames at fence-posts, this outrageous Escort presumably feels that its time is better spent at maximum revs and more than a little sideways. And who could blame it? This car is all heart, all aggression, an assault on the senses and — above all — a thoroughly emotional experience. WRC-spec 2. WRC-spec inc.

The car tests were developed all over and to better prepare the assault to the World Rally Championship. But he succeeded to win in Portugal, Tour de Corse and Catalunya that year, while Miki Biasion won in Acropolis and Franco Cunico in Sanremo, completing a very successful first season of the new car. But a sudden loss of reliability, the reduction of Ford budget for the rally program and a road accident that left Delecour out for four races, resulted in poorer results for the rest of the season, with the only exception of the win raising star Tommi Makinen was able to obtain in Finland, in what it became the first success of a brilliant career. Even so, the car obtained an impressive number of victories at European and national rallies and championships in and the following years, by what it is recognized as one of the most successful rally cars ever. Ford continued to participate in the World Championship with the Escort RS Cosworth in with no remarkable success. A detailed description of the design process has been reported by Steve Harper, in what it is a unique opportunity to know how it was designed, with the aid of foam and clay:. Therefore plenty of intakes and outlets were designed in, along with the bonnet bulge for the N-S engine. It had provided around kg of downforce at mph. His initial design included a tri-plane rear wing, but at the end was reduced to a bi-plane due to excessive cost. He explains in detail the design prcess in this video. The road going car could be purchased in three variations. Most Motorsport cars were Diamond White and lacked electric windows, a radio, sunroof, central locking, fog lamps. Interiors were cloth only. Standard and Lux cars often had optional extras added at the time of order but generally they included full electrics which the Motorsport model did not. A leather interior upgrade was also optional. Towards the end of production, the 'whale tail' spoiler could be deleted from the factory. It is unknown how many buyers chose this option. This was available in three colours, Ash Black, Mallard Green and only for this edition, Jewel Violet with an estimated produced total. The differences to a standard car were: 8 x16 OZ Racing Wheels, Monte Carlo stickers on the wings and tailgate, motorsport Recaro seats, alloy gear knob and chrome brake handle button.
