Not content with sitting on its Escort-based throne, MST is now priming an Audi-engined, all-new 6R4 for 2024 😍
We’ve written a lot about Motorsport Tools , the engineering firm based in North Wales. That’s because what they produce is PH gold. It all started as a supply of parts for Mk1 and Mk2 Ford Escorts and has developed, over the years, into the supply of the most exquisite recreations of Escorts. Well, they’re not officially sanctioned, so they’re not called a Ford or an Escort - but they are officially exquisite.
This is far from a fully-fledged car, with lots yet to be decided, so don’t expect a complete specification just yet. The project has been taking shape over the last couple of years, and here’s what we know so far – and this is straight from the horse’s mouth. Needless to say, it all centres on that new 6R4 shell. That’s built in-house, in steel, and based on the original steel monocoque with its integrated roll cage.
The gearbox is a six-speed sequential transmission. That and the differentials for the four-wheel drive system are sourced from Sadev. And what about the engines? Well, you could have an original 6R4 naturally aspirated 3.0 V6 with around 400hp if you so desire. The problem with that is sourcing an original engine, as well as the associated cost: you’re talking between £40,000-£50,000, and that’s for something that still might need a rebuild. There is an alternative, though.
