This Ford Escort Mk2 was built in Sweden by a talented owner. Under the hood sits an Audi 20v inline-five that makes 670 horsepower and 501 lb-ft (690 Nm) of torque to the rear wheel thanks to a Precision 6262 turbocharger, Nira i3 ECU, and E85 fuel. The drivetrain uses a BMW M3 ZF five-speed dog box connected to a Volvo 1031 rear end with a Torsen LSD and full floating axles. The Escort rides on a double A-arm front suspension with QA1 2-way adjustable coilovers in front and custom 2-way adjustable coilovers in back. It’s best quarter-mile is 9.59 sec at 147 mph (238 km/h).

Awesome car and craftmanship. The engine is 20V inline five though 🙂
Thank you Ivo. I can’t believe I messed that up. I corrected the article.
Is the car still available as I’m very interested in it
The original for sale listing and FB post about it is gone. I believe so.
