Ford launches series of MS-RT CVs
Ford Pro has launched a new series of range-topping commercial vehicles under the MS-RT brand with the reveal of all-new Transit Custom MS-RT and Ranger MS-RT.
The two exclusive new models have been designed and engineered in a close collaboration between Ford’s global team and the brand’s specialists – an offshoot of Ford’s rally partner M-Sport – to deliver a combination of dramatic motorsport-inspired looks, enhanced driving experience and outstanding load carrying capability.
“We’re delighted to add MS-RT models to our Ford Pro portfolio, offering an exciting, halo option for customers who need a commercial vehicle but also want to make a statement about their business,” said Hans Schep, general manager, Ford Pro Europe. “More customers are wanting a work vehicle for the week but something that supports their lifestyle at the weekend. These new vehicles are the perfect answer.”
Derived from the latest generation Transit Custom and Ranger platforms, the two new models combine bold visual appeal with engineering upgrades. The E-Transit Custom MS-RT derivative is available with a 210kW (285PS) electric powertrain making it the highest power output production Transit Custom ever. Alongside the “ultimate van”, the 3.0-litre V6 diesel-powered Ranger MS-RT uses a unique suspension and wheel set-up to enhance its on-road capability and make it the “ultimate street truck”.
