Rebirth of an Icon

Boreham Motorworks has introduced the Ford Escort Mk1 RS ‘Continumod’, a masterful modern recreation of one of motoring's most iconic rally-bred legends. Limited to just 150 units worldwide, this blueprint-accurate, period-sympathetic vehicle pays homage to its illustrious heritage while embracing state-of-the-art engineering and materials to deliver a driving experience like no other.

At the heart of the Escort is a motorsport-inspired, high-revving 2.1-litre engine. Producing an impressive 300bhp, it is paired with a manual gearbox to offer a truly exhilarating performance. Weighing just 800kg thanks to extensive use of carbon fibre and titanium, the car’s design focuses on lightweight precision, enabling unparalleled agility on both road and track.

True to the analogue spirit of the original Mk1 Escort, it eschews modern conveniences such as ABS and power steering, instead offering a pure and visceral driving experience. Every detail has been crafted to honour the essence of the classic Ford Escort RS, while incorporating the latest advancements in manufacturing techniques and materials.
