This Ford Escort Mk2 is owned and built by Nikos Tountas from Tountas Garage in Acharnae, Attiki, Greece. The car is powered by a turbocharged Cosworth inline-four making 550 horsepower and 670 Nm (494 lb-ft) of torque on 1.7 bar (24.6 psi) of boost. The motor features a Cosworth 200 block, ZPR 2.3 L crank and connecting rods, Diamond pistons, dry sump system, and Garrett GTX2867 Gen 2 turbocharger. The drivetrain uses a BMW E30 M3 transmission with a R-TMG twin-disc clutch and Ford 8-inch rear end.

I like the car. Don’t know why people is doing this though, but there’s no way this turbo could supply air for 550 hp.
Fake dyno results imho.
