That's easily the hardest , flattest cornering Escort I've ever seen. I also get the feeling Mr Steiner drives to the shops like this.😂

When fear is laughable and skill shines through! Car and driver in perfect harmony 🙏🏻👏👏👏

That sounds fantastic.. and driven 10/10ths plus a bit! 👌🏾So is the engine a reduced stroke version of the Mondeo motor which IIRC was a 2.2L? Hence the 9000rpm.

The BTCC Mondeo engine was a 2 liter just like any other super touring car engine and it had a revlimit of 8500 rpm. It was based on the Mazda KL V6 engine found in the Mk2 Ford Probe and Mazda MX6, and destroked to 2 liters to comply with the super touring car rules.

2.5 liter Mazda KL v6 engine destroked to 2 liters, it was used in the Ford Probe road car

I don't know if it's a typo but the Ford/Mazda 2.5 duratec is not a 2.0 liter and this particular one is not n/a as one can see a front mount charge cooler in the air dam... Unless it's a oil cooler but that's a giant oil cooler. From my time as a Ford tech I do know that one could take the crank and cylinder heads off the 3.0 duratec and put them in the 2.5 to make a 3.2 stroker.

@HillClimbMonsters

It is both NA and 2.0. Destroked DuraTec (Mazda KL) engine much like the Mondeo BTCC unit was when it competed and where this engine unit stems from. Quite easy to find all this info too, if one wants to.

@fontheking5

2 liters were the maximum allowed size for super touring car engines, which this is. It was used in the 90:s Ford Mondeo Super touring cars in BTCC, the snarling sounds tells me it`s either a 97 or 98 Mondeo BTCC engine. The rules said that you could use any 2 liter naturally aspirated engine you wanted from your parent company, and Ford / Cosworth decided to use the 2.5 liter Mazda MX6 / Ford Probe ( Mazda KL V6 engine ) as a base for their BTCC engine, since it was slightly smaller and more lightweight than the Duratec, it was destroked to 2 liters to suit the rules in super touring and tuned to around 300 hp, the revlimit was 8500 rpm. Also the Ford Duratec and the Mazda KL are very different engines, they are not from the same engine family, they have very similar specs, but are very different actually. www.newcougar.org/threads/duratec-and-kl-ze-same-engine.17216/

It`s naturally aspirated to suit the super touring rules the BTCC had in the 1990:s :)
