Max Power Magazine September 1993 Escort RS Turbo Nissan Skyline Lancia Delta SKU 1459

Original Max Power Magazine – September 1993, from the very early period of the famous UK modified-car and tuning magazine.

This issue is heavily focused on modified performance cars, turbo tuning, motorsport and 1990s street-car culture, with several strong period features covering Ford, Nissan, Lancia, Renault, Vauxhall and BMW machinery.

⭐ Main Cover Feature – Twin Turbo Ford Escorts

The front cover leads with:

“TWIN TURBOS! Stripey Encounters Of An Escort Kind”

The opening feature shows two highly distinctive modified Ford Escorts, including a blue striped example and a white/blue example.

The contents identify the feature as:

Double Trouble – two Renault 5s with Dimma and Subjective kits is listed separately, while the cover imagery itself is clearly focused around the modified Escort pairing.

The cover also promotes:

• Turbo tuning tactics
• Vauxhall 16V engine tweaks
• BMW 3-Series buyer’s information
• Motorsport content
• Performance tuning

This makes it a strong early Max Power issue for anyone collecting Ford Escort / RS Turbo / modified Ford material.

⭐ Nissan Skyline

One of the standout features in the contents is the:

Nissan Skyline – 510bhp

The contents describe it as a Japanese performance feature and the opening spread shows a blue Skyline alongside the Escort cover feature.

A particularly desirable inclusion for collectors of:

• Nissan Skyline
• Japanese performance cars
• 1990s turbo cars
• Early UK tuning magazine coverage

RS500 Cosworth
