Vehicle Story
Designed to be a modern upgrade to the iconic RS500 this 1987 Merkur XR4Ti, is affectionately known as the RS4Ti. The vehicle has received a remarkable transformation by Jordan Henke and the crew of JH Restorations in Windsor, Ontario. The modern evolution of this vehicle boasts a custom widebody kit, sprayed with BASF, “Ford Area 51 Blue”. Packed with an upgraded Ford Performance 2.3L EcoBeast engine, Bowler prepped Tremec TKX 5-speed transmission, and 2018 Mustang independent rear 8.8 differential rounding out the running gear. Wilwood brakes, Corvette C6 Hub based QA1 suspension enhance its performance. While Recaro seats, Dakota Digital gauges, and orange accents on American Racing VF529 wheels wrapped with Toyo Proxes Sport tires make the JH built RS4Ti an automotive knockout.
