Citat:
The Ford escort RS2000 4x4 was released in 1994 under the mk5a facelift facade. Externally it appeared similar to the 2wd mk5a facelift model. Obvious differences included the rear cast aluminum cross member, transfer box and rear differential.
In 1995, the escort range including the RS2000 2wd and 4x4 underwent final updates and modifications. These included mainly external changes to the front of the car which included, new bonnet, grill, bumper with integral fog lights and improved headlights. Mechanical improvements included relocation of various engine ancillaries and improved handling in the form of a 3 point top strut mount as opposed the earlier 2 point. Wheel style was also revised although if these dull 5 spokes was a improvement is debatable. The interior style was also completely revised and included white sports dials and "flow" trimming throughout.
Although the RS2000 4x4 provided excellent handling, performance suffered greatly compared with the 2wd version due to the difference in power to weight ratio.
As far as it can be ascertained, production of the RS2000, the last to date RS badged car, was ceased in August 1996. It is believed the actual last RS2000 was built on 26th August 1996 and had the VIN GCABTD05434. The main reason Ford ceased production, much like the Escort Cosworth was due to the lack of sales they had expected along with a possible noise level problem. Could it have been Ford wanted the family/green image.
To date (210804) based on information received from a Ford dealership, the 4x4 was built to order only and the dealership records show only 129 4x4's are left on the road and in use, information as to how many were sold to the public should follow shortly, 500 shells were produced a number of these were then finished and used for rallying, the dealership believes that fewer than 350 were actually made available to the public.
