The Ascort had a top speed of 96 mph and could accelerate from zero to 50 mph in 12.0 seconds. 19 cars were built before production was terminated. Although there were plans to offer the car with a 70 hp, 1500 cc engine, which would have given the car a top speed of well over 100 mph, this variant was never produced. (en)
