The two-door 1998 Ford Escort ZX2 was introduced at the 1997 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. It was based on the second-generation North American version of the Ford Escort, first introduced in 1991 and substantially updated in 1997. Sharing the same wheelbase as the 4-door Escort the ZX2 had a completely unique exterior and interior design. The ZX2 was intended as a replacement for the Escort GT and as such was equipped with a 2.0 L 16-valve Zetec engine rated at 130 hp.
The Escort sedan was replaced in 2000 by the Ford Focus; however a successor to the ZX2 was never planned. It remained in production after the sedan was phased out and renamed simply "ZX2." Production at Ford's Hermosillo, Sonora plant ended in 2003.[ Visit the complete Wikipedia entry for Ford Escort ZX2 ]
