Fiat reimagined the 500, Volkswagen did it with the beetle and BMW the mini, maybe it's about time Ford did it with the mk1 or mk2 escort, modern safety and running gear maybe even an electric version, but certainly with the classic lines escort fan's the world over have come to know and love.
Imagine if they brought back a simple yet well built Escort to compete with the Elantras and other eco cars. Of course an RS version down the line and for the love of god release it in the States.
Hey guys really love what you do here and I was wondering if there are currently any internship opportunities for the production team at Ford Performance. I've lived in michigan my entire life and love everything the Ford brand is currently doing and would love to help market the brand.
I had a Mk 1 Escort and the pushrod engine made a lot of noise and not much power. I'm sure the Lotus and BDA/Cosworth ones were much better, but they sell for really stupid prices these days.
Actually we did get a front wheel drive version. The mk3. It has the same engine as the American version called the CVH, looks very similar but has some mechanical differences. When we had these The US had the Pinto. Ford didnt want to market to similar sized cars in the same place.
Ok I love the European escort but whats the point of an anniversary for a car that you dont make and will not make again since you are canning all cars other than the mustang. We only had a Mercury Capri here but they have all dissappeared. Just drove through a lot yesterday and saw an Ecosport for $32,000 Canadian. Are you bloody kidding me. Your economy SUV my god. Bring back the Pinto or Escort with a real world price tag and you would sell a ton of them if you had a nice design and cheap price. Celebrarion of what... And thwt obnoxious music you always blast at the end of these videos come on we are not rocking mullets and bud lights in our wife beaters.
Love the mk1 escort wish they could actually make only like this in modern times .
I agree with you 😊💯
What a legendary car

Parents had a cortina when I was little, wish they’d kept it but it was too small for a growing family. Was very sad the day they sold it
World Best Rally Car 🚗
I just want an escort to hit the trails in my home town

I would also like to race for Ford Performance
owned my mk1 rs2000 rep for 22 years my baby just uploaded a little walk around and sound video
Damn right zero dislikes
Dear Ford, can you please go crazy and make a crate engine/gearbox that will fit the 3cyl fiesta ST engine in a mk1 and mk2 escort, thanks in advance.
Aslak Zissou worth too much for that now and part of their charm is the zippy engine
we just uploaded a video about Escort Mk1s in Malta
Please do a modern version of the MK1 that looks the same but make it out of aluminium and modern engine and is still pretty bare bones on the inside
Cam you put a 4 liter in line v6 in the fusion and bring back the falcon wit the v8 to compete with hellcat
I think they'd sooner kill the fusion off entirely, just like in North America.
Barra swap it!!

Such a shame, then that the USDM Escorts were front-wheel drive garbage, when these existed...

Where is Ford now? no small car, engine in front, maual in the middle, with the rear wheels driving... Nowhere sadly...
Too bad they still Don't Make the MK1
My Escort was not this cool.
