Ford Escort RS Turbo

Developed by Ford Special Vehicle Engineering, the first Ford Escort RS Turbo was released in December 1984 following the success of the Escort models. This 1984 front wheel drive Escort RS Turbo was already considered a spectacular car at that time; the 4 cylinder in-line 1600cc CVH SOHC engine was capable of delivering 132 bhp. A Garret T03 turbocharger and intercooler was fitted into the 1.6 liter CVH engine and a gearbox was built with a viscous coupling limited-slip differential. This made the Escort RS Turbo the foremost front wheel drive car with a limited-slip differential.

The Ford Escort RS Turbo was available in two trims in a single color option only?the Diamond White. Taking the Custom Package, your Escort RS Turbo will be equipped with tilt-and slide sunroof, electric front windows, central locking and tinted glass. This car was meant to go straight to the race tracks, and has now become something of a legendary vintage car. Only in production for a year, from December of 1984 to December of the following year, there were only 8064 Ford Escort RS Turbo made.
