Car articles about Ford (D) Escort XR3i by year
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.
Convertible fun doesn't have to be expensive, especially not with a classic car. The Opel Kadett, Ford Escort and VW Golf prove that you can enjoy open-top driving fun even on a budget.
Those who sent road cars onto the rally warpath 20 years ago souped up bourgeois men with steroids and created homologated mutants from mass-produced cars. The Ford Escort RS Cosworth and Toyota Celica GT-Four represent a time when rallying still stood for brand identity. This article compares the two homologation vehicles and shows them in many pictures.
The last Ford Escort with powered rear wheels was built between 1992 and 1996, although the front wheels were also supplied with engine power. The Escort RS Cosworth attracted attention with its huge rear spoiler, but also with its sports car-like performance and also ensured great success on the rally tracks. This report tells the story of the rally evolution model and its predecessors, illustrated with historical and current pictures.
