The Ford Escort Mk-1 concept comes from Coventry University
MA Automotive Design Graduate Rajesh Kutty and Benchmark
Modelmaking Ltd.
The Escort Mk-1 concept follows in the footsteps of the
many recent retro-styled concepts coming out of American
and European design studios including the Ford
Mustang, Dodge
Challenger, Chevrolet
Camaro, Ford GT40 and others.
These concept, and production, cars have been extremely
popular both with designers and the general public often
rekindling a long forgotten desire to own such a car.
The Concept Ford Escort Mk-1 from Benchmark is styled
to look more like the successful rally car than the roadgoing
model, incorporating the flared arches, race wheels (in
this case 20"), integrated spotlights, and racing
paintwork.
