Boreham Motorworks Drops a 2.1-Litre, 10,000rpm Engine Bombshell
Classic car enthusiasts, brace yourselves! Boreham Motorworks just unveiled its jaw-dropping 2.1-litre lightweight four-cylinder engine, destined for the heart of the iconic Mk1 Ford Escort RS. This powerplant isn’t just any engine—it’s a 10,000rpm screamer that promises to transform the retro Escort into a track-hungry, modern-day legend. If you thought the original RS was lively, you haven’t experienced this new beast yet. The revival of the Mk1 Escort RS with such an advanced engine is more than just nostalgia; it’s a perfect fusion of old-school charm and next-level engineering.
Why does this matter? For starters, this engine lets the classic RS keep up with today’s fastest hot hatches—while still looking like it rolled straight out of the ‘70s. Boreham Motorworks has given petrolheads a reason to fall in love with the Escort all over again. Imagine the sound of 10,000rpm echoing through the gears—enough to make any car lover’s heart race. Looks like the only thing more impressive than this Escort’s acceleration will be the ear-to-ear grin on its driver’s face.
