Rally-Inspired MS-RT Ford Transit Custom Is Soccer Dad’s Van

A month after its online presentation, the MS-RT Ford Transit Custom is now ready for its future owners in the United Kingdom.

The MS-RT-tuned vehicle is available in two body styles: panel van and double cab, with 3-, 5- and 6-seat configurations, short and long wheelbase, tailgate or twin back doors. Pricing starts at £32,995 (equal to $45,399).

All versions of the van use the same 2.0-liter TDCi diesel engine. The unit develops 170PS (168hp / 125kW) and 405Nm (299lb-ft) of torque and is married to either a manual or an automatic gearbox, both of them with six speeds.

Exterior modifications include the wide body arch extensions, different bumpers, new grille, side sills, rear diffuser and spoiler. The MS-RT Ford Transit Custom features special decals as well, 18-inch Anthracite OZ Racing alloy wheels wrapped in Hankook Ventus S1 evo2 tires, Eibach performance lowering springs and twin sports exhaust system.

The sporty theme continues inside, with the Nappa leather and suede seat facings, different steering wheel with carbon fiber inlays, special gauges and MS-RT branded floor mats.

Additionally, the tuned van benefits from the automaker’s SYNC3 infotainment system with satellite navigation, reversing camera and more. Parking sensors are standard, too, alongside the heated windscreen, heated seats, 230V power convertor, and HID headlights with integrated DRLs.

All versions of the this Ford Transit Custom are hand-finished at the MS-RT’s factory in Gwent, South Wales.
