Of course you're correct, and yes the plate and my file names gave it away. It has a rally-spec 250hp BDA Cosworth from a Ford Escort Group 4 rally car. They did a great job making it look 'period correct' even though it is a fuel-injected computer-controlled modern engine.

Here is video of the beast: http://www.mat.fi/video_aford.htm

Mäkelä Auto Tuning of Finland built this car for a (no-doubt wealthy) client.
Check out the photos; the engineering and craftsmanship are amazing.
