Ford dealers will soon sell MS-RT Transit vans
Buying a rally-inspired MS-RT Transit Connect or Transit Custom is about to get much easier. That’s because they’re going to be available direct from Ford van dealers.
Offered in either panel van or double cab-in-van guises, their special features include a more aggressive front bumper that flows into widened wheel arches. Anthracite-coloured 18” OZ Racing alloy wheels further add to the purposeful look, as do the side skirts, rear diffuser and roof spoiler. Decal kits are optional.
The theme continues inside, courtesy of leather and suede upholstery, a sports steering wheel and bespoke instruments.
Powering the Transit Connect versions is a 1.5 litre EcoBlue diesel engine which produces 118 bhp (88 kW / 120 PS) plus 270 Nm (199 lb-ft) of torque. That output is delivered via either a six-speed manual gearbox or an eight-speed automatic transmission.
The larger Transit Custom models use a 2.0 litre EcoBlue unit instead. Mated to either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission, it develops 182 bhp (136 kW / 185 PS) with 415 Nm (306 lb-ft).
As the MS-RT conversions are part of Ford’s Qualified Vehicle Modifier programme, the original manufacturer warranty remains valid. Cargo space and payloads aren’t affected either.
Orders will be accepted from next month, but prices have yet to be confirmed.
