Esteemed engine tuner
based in Northampton, UK.
Previously confused as part of Ford Racing and Ford SVT because of their excellent rally successes with the
Sierra Cosworth and it's derivatives including the RS200, whose insanely high performance meant most examples were written off and directly resulting in rally cars of its type being removed from the sport.
There are several "Cosworths" out there, including
Mercedes and Vauxhall. Although because of the misconception these are Fords they never badge the cars as Cosworth; only Ford did this.
Audi are the current owners of Cosworth and their skill was involed in the Audi TT.
Yes. The Escort Cosworth was really a special short wheelbase
Sierra with an Escort looking shell.
Real Escorts have subtely different measurments.
The RS500 was called as such because of the 500 units that had to be sold to
pass homologation, it's just coincidence that you can easily
tune them to 500Bhp.
Cossies, whilst not as advanced as EVO sevens and the like, have far more style and
personality.
