The Ford Escort RS Cosworth ’92 is up for grabs in the Used Cars section. This legendary rally machine, affectionately nicknamed the "Cossie," was a dominant force in WRC events throughout the ’90s, thanks to its unique double-decker wing and high-performance specs.

Celebrate Porsche’s milestone anniversary with the futuristic Porsche Mission X ’23, also at Brand Central. This hypercar concept pays homage to 75 years of Porsche excellence and pushes boundaries with its avant-garde design and electrifying performance potential.
And for those who crave adventure, the rugged yet charismatic Suzuki Jimny Sierra JC ’18 has made its way to Brand Central. Known for its off-road prowess, this version broadens its appeal beyond Japan, promising durability and fun beyond the beaten path.
