About the Ford Escort RS Cosworth #9 A. Vatanen Rally Acropolis 1994 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Ford Escort RS Cosworth reproduces car #9, driven by 1981 World Rally Champion Ari Vatanen at the 1994 Rally Acropolis, a gravel event long known for its punishing heat and rough Greek mountain roads.

Vatanen's championship pedigree gave him a rare authority on any WRC stage, and the Escort Cosworth's raw, boxy aggression matched that reputation stage for stage.

A Champion Driver in Ford's Group A Weapon

Ari Vatanen won the World Rally Championship drivers' title in 1981 and remained one of the sport's most respected competitors well into the following decades, and by the time he drove the Ford Escort RS Cosworth at the 1994 Rally Acropolis, the car had established itself as one of the strongest Group A rally weapons of the mid-1990s. The Escort Cosworth's distinctive whale-tail rear spoiler and flared arches reflected its homologation-driven development, built to satisfy motorsport regulations while delivering genuine competitiveness on loose surfaces. Rally Acropolis earned a reputation among drivers as one of the WRC calendar's most physically demanding rounds, combining extreme heat with rough, rock-strewn gravel roads through the Greek mountains.

IXO's Rally-Focused Diecast Approach

IXO has built a substantial catalog of WRC-era rally liveries, and a car like this Escort benefits from that specialization, since rally liveries often carry unique mud-splash finishes, sponsor placements, and number treatments specific to a single event rather than a full season. The Escort's aggressive rally-spec bodywork, wide arches and prominent spoiler, comes through clearly in diecast form, and the model's construction favors accurate livery detail and broad model variety over hand-finished surface work.

A Champion's Car From a Brutal Rally

This Escort documents a specific, demanding result from one of rallying's toughest events, driven by a genuine world champion.
