This Brand‑New “Escort” Costs More Than A Porsche 911 GT3
If you grew up in the U.S., the Ford Escort probably brings back memories of sensible, unassuming economy cars from the 1980s and '90s, reliable, practical, and pretty unremarkable next to the sportier Fords everyone actually wanted. But mention the name to anyone in Europe, especially the UK, or anyone who’s ever followed rallying, and you’ll hear endless stories of a true legend: a tiny rear‑wheel‑drive warrior that dominated world rally stages, touring car grids, and the hearts of enthusiasts for decades. That’s the car MST is paying tribute to with the all‑new MK1 Evo, and before you ask, no, it’s not a restomod built by patching up an old rusty shell. It’s a ground‑up, brand‑new machine that looks exactly like a 1968 Escort but is engineered to modern supercar standards. And it costs more than a brand‑new Porsche 911 GT3.
