About the Ford Escort WRC #6 A. Schwarz / M. Giraudet Acropolis Rally 1997 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Ford Escort WRC reproduces #6, driven by Armin Schwarz and Manfred Giraudet at the 1997 Acropolis Rally. A classic-era Ford rally weapon on one of the World Rally Championship's toughest gravel events.

The Acropolis Rally's rough, rock-strewn Greek stages made it one of the most demanding rounds of the WRC calendar, a genuine test for a car built on the Escort's road-going platform.

IXO's Diecast Rally Build

This 1:18 diecast carries the raised suspension, mud flaps and skid protection typical of a Group A-derived WRC Escort, and IXO renders the sponsor livery with clean, well-registered decal work across the doors and roof. The metal body gives the model genuine weight, appropriate for a rally car built to survive rough terrain rather than showroom polish, and the wide rally wheels and arch extensions sit accurately against the Escort's compact three-door silhouette.

The Escort WRC's Place in Ford's Rally History

Ford developed the Escort WRC from its road-going Escort platform to compete in the newly established World Rally Car regulations of the mid-1990s, giving it four-wheel drive and turbocharged power well beyond anything the standard hatchback carried. Entries like this one from the Acropolis Rally show the car campaigned by capable privateer and semi-works crews across a genuinely gruelling season.

Collecting the Classic WRC Era

This Escort works well alongside other mid-1990s World Rally Cars from rival manufacturers, tracing the early years of the WRC formula that still underpins the championship's basic structure today.
