Ford High Performance Escorts, 1980-90

More about the book

The Escort RS Turbo was known as a homologation special because only about 6000 were made. To get the power on the road it was fitted with a limited slip differential but in other respects is was based closely on the XR3i. Subtle changes were made to the bodywork in 1986 with, amongst other things, a new bumper treatment and a slightly changed rear spoiler. The new-style car also went µturbo'. This is a book of contemporary road and comparison tests, specification and technical data, new model introductions, driver's impressions, long term reports and conversions. Models covered include: RS Turbo, 1600 Sport, Gartrac, Lynx XR3, G4 Xtrac, XR3i, Escort GT, EXP, 1.6i Cabrio, XR3i Cabrio, Escort Turbo, RS1700T, Janspeed.
