Wild jumper - Ford Escort RS 2000 in the (historic) test

January 8, 2025 — Lothar Boschen 20

Ford described the new Escort RS 2000, which had been upgraded with a two-liter OHC engine and was intended to challenge the BMW 2002, as a secret sports car with exceptional performance. With 100 hp, it was the most attractive and most affordable offering in this segment in Germany. This test report from that time determines whether it was competitive regardless of the price.

The half-strengths - BMW 2002, Audi 80 GT, Escort RS 2000 and Ascona 19 SR in a (historical) comparison test

December 17, 2025 — Jürgen Rapp 42

The era of sporty saloons began with the BMW 2002. Opel launched its first attacks on the Munich-based domain with its Ascona 19 SR, followed belatedly by Ford with the Escort RS 2000. Audi was the last to push for a place in the 100 hp society with the 80 GT. In 1973 a comparison test checked whether the newcomer from Ingolstadt could catch up with or even overtake its earlier competitors.
