Many many years ago Ford themselves produced a one off V6 Mk 5 Escort. It was basically an Escort Cosworth shell, with the upper rear wing deleted, the front splitter removed, and a late spec bonnet with the oval grille. Under the bonnet was a 2.9 V6 24v Granada Cosworth lump. They opted for the 5-stud hubs from the Granada also, and fitted those 16" rims with the flat wide spokes.

If Ford can do it etc
