Jon Webster and his company Webster Race Engineering in Podington, England built this Ford Escort Cosworth for Matt Smith at Team Extreme Racing in 2012. Under the hood sits a twin-turbo 6.1 L Chevy V8 making 1500 horsepower. The engine featured a Dart aluminum block, forged internals, Edelbrock Victor Jr heads, and Garrett GTX turbochargers. The V8 is mated to a built Powerglide two-speed automatic transmission, custom driveshaft, and Ford 9.5-inch rear end. The car rides on drag-spec ladder bar rear suspension, adjustable coilovers, and Wilwood four-piston brakes front and rear. Matt personal best was 8.1 sec at 170 mph before selling the car in 2017.
