the Ford Escort RS2000 Mk2 was available from 1976 - 1980. The RS2000 version, with its distinctively slanted polyurethane nose, and featuring the Pinto engine from the Cortina, was announced in the UK in March 1975 and introduced in Germany in August 1975, being reportedly produced in both provided a claimed 110 bhp and a top speed of 110 mph (177 km/h). For acceleration to 100 km/h ( mph) a time of just seconds was claimed by the manufacturers. The L engine was also easily retro-fitted into the Mark I, and this became a popular modification, along with the Ford Sierra's five-speed gearbox, for rallying and other sports, especially given the Pinto's tunability.
