Good news for fans of well-dressed vans: Ford is bringing the MS-RT Transit Custom and Transit Connect to our country!
More than two and a half years ago, Ford introduced the MS-RT Transit Custom to the world. This fierce van was the result of a collaboration between Ford and the English Ford Works Rally Team of M-Sport. Not much later, the more compact Transit Connect followed, which received the same treatment. The Fiesta WRC rally car was taken for inspiration. This is immediately reflected in the extreme bumper work and the rear spoiler. The adjustment round was not carried through to the engines: there we find standard EcoBlue diesel engine with 120 or 185 hp.
Nice and nice, these sporty Transits, but at the time it was announced that they would not leave Great Britain. Too bad but unfortunately for the Dutch willing. Until now, because Ford says that the sports enthusiasts do come to other European countries. That will even happen next month! In addition to the Netherlands, the MS-RT Transits also end up in showrooms in France, Hungary, Norway and Romania. Ford Netherlands has not yet announced how much the vans should cost. Techzle is still awaiting a response.
