### Five Fresh Cars Joining the Roster This Month

#### Ford Escort RS Cosworth ’92

You can now purchase this gem from the Used Cars section. The WRC-special Escort RS with its distinctive double-decker wing is a piece of rally history. Ford initially entered the 90s rally scene with the Sierra RS Cosworth 4×4, but it was the Escort RS Cosworth, launched in 1992, that truly dominated. Built to perform and homologated for higher pledges on track, it drew fans with its striking spoiler and robust performance from its 2L Cosworth turbo engine. Even in its standard trim, it dishes out an impressive 223.9 BHP.

#### Mercedes-Benz W 196 R ’55

Available from Legend Cars, this classic F1 marvel etched its name in motorsport history. Revived by Mercedes-Benz post-1951, the W 196 was crafted for 1954 Formula 1 regulations. Debuting at the 1954 French Grand Prix with a sleek body design, it was soon tailored for improved driver visibility and maintenance. Engine adaptability and stellar performance with over 285 BHP helped it dominate F1 championships, winning back-to-back titles with driving legend Juan Manuel Fangio.

#### Porsche 911 Turbo S (992) ’20

Find this powerhouse at Brand Central. The 911 lineage enters its eighth generation, maintaining Porsche’s legendary status. The 992, launched in 2018, refines its predecessor’s design while featuring a beefed-up, lighter body with extensive aluminum use. Its standout is the powerful Turbo S model, making its mark with a massive 641 BHP from its twin-turbo flat-six engine, reflecting the pinnacle of 911 performance.

#### Porsche Mission X ’23

Another dazzling addition at Brand Central, the Mission X is a futuristic hypercar concept celebrating Porsche’s 75th anniversary. Compact but mighty, this two-seater car is fully electric, offering more than impressive good looks. Mixing classic Porsche motifs with cutting-edge tech, it’s designed to possibly claim the title of fastest road-legal car at Nürburgring. It also features rapid charging capabilities that surpass even Porsche’s current electric frontrunners.

#### Suzuki Jimny Sierra JC ’18

Available at Brand Central, the rugged Jimny Sierra takes its off-road prowess beyond Japan’s kei car regulations. The 2018 Sierra enhances the traditional Jimny spirit with a tough design and robust off-road credentials, including a part-time four-wheel drive system and enhanced suspension for both the terrain tracks and city roads.
