The Ultimate Ford Escort Cosworth by RS-Tuning

The Ford Escort RS Cosworth shouldn’t need an introduction. If, like me, you’ve been obsessed with cars for as long as you can remember, this rally-bred legend has, at some point, held a firm spot in your top three must-own cars. Fast forward to 2025, and prices are only heading in one direction—up. A well-kept example will now set you back a cool €80,000. Those who got in before the hype? Sitting pretty.

But here’s the thing some people don’t care about the skyrocketing values. Some people just want to build their perfect version of an all-time great. And honestly? That’s exactly the kind of passion I respect.

Enter Árpád Lakatos of RS-Tuning in Hungary. In his eyes, he’s created the ultimate Escort RS Cosworth. And looking at the result, it’s hard to argue. The first thing that grabs you is the stance—the car sits impossibly low, thanks to a fully custom-built airride setup. No off-the-shelf system exists for this car, so Árpád and his team had to develop their own, opting for a Grinds air management system to control it all.

Nissan Skyline R34 Carbon Z-Tune or is it?

In today’s market, there are few brave souls willing to slam a Nissan Skyline R34 GTR on air suspension. But did you know this is not a real GTR? Could you spot the difference? Because what we have here is a converted R34 GTT. The transformation is so seamless that I was completely fooled. No expense has been spared to create this Z-Tune lookalike.

Even the interior has undergone a complete makeover, often one of the first signs that you’re not staring at a genuine GTR. Unfortunately, I couldn’t pop the hood to peek underneath, so whether the conversion includes an RB26 engine remains a mystery. What I do know is that the car has since been exported, so perhaps we’ll catch a glimpse of it again at a foreign car show.
