Ford (D) Escort
(1975 - 1983)
Car articles about Ford (D) Escort by year
The factory's upfront investments - above all the extended warranty period and the fact that the basic model was already fully equipped - helped the new Ford Escort 1975 get off to an optimal start. Sales were as brisk as only the Taunus (1970) and the first Capri (1969) had been in the Ford range. This test report from back then reveals what the Escort base models 1.1 and 1.3 offered in terms of progress under the new bodywork.
The oil crisis had been overcome and car drivers were once again looking for performance. In 1975, Ford presented the RS 2000 with an almost revolutionary polyurethane front end. Soon there were long delivery times as proof that the classic layout - engine at the front, drive at the rear - was the right one. But the VW Golf GTI was already waiting in the wings. This driving report describes the short history of the second Ford Escort RS 2000 and shows it in current and historical pictures.
When the third generation of the Ford Escort was presented in the fall of 1980, everything about the popular passenger car was new. Instead of the rear wheels, the Escort now drove the front wheels and the design was also completely renewed. But Ford did not forget the fans of particularly sporty models and presented the RS 1600i as the basis for the A/N groups as early as 1982. The initially fastest Escort was well received and is a rarity today. This driving report describes the history of the fuel-injected Ford Escort and shows it in many pictures. And there is also a sound sample.
