This Ford Sierra Cosworth is faster than it looks – in the wild

The four -door

With a Ford Sierra Cosworth you probably immediately think of the three -door RS Cosworth with the huge fence on the back. This Sierra Cosworth from 1989 looks a bit less intense, but is secretly just a bit faster.

For many, the most famous Ford Sierra with Cosworth-Badge is probably the three-door RS Cosworth and the more intense RS 500 based on it. As a three -door and with the truly immense spoiler on the back, that was the summit of the sporty Sierras in appearance. In that area, the later Cosworths were a bit in the shade, although it was not entirely justified in terms of performance that the older Sierras RS Cosworth was looked at more often.

Thanks to AutoWeek forum member Harmena, here we have such a ‘later’ Sierra Cosworth, one in which the four-door Sedan was taken as the basis. Because of his carriage, that was a slightly less smooth appearance, but appearances are deceiving. With a 0-100 time of 6.5 seconds and a top speed of 242 km/h, this Ford Sierra Cosworth was a fraction faster than its older brother. We are not talking about the RS500, which was a bit faster than the four -door, but about the regular three -door RS Cosworth. You really had a very smooth sedan on this later sporty Sierra and even today they are still figures with which you can come home.

The performance is mainly due to the blown 2.0 four -pitter in the nose of this Sierra. A version of Fords well-developed by Cosworth in the principle of the 70s dating TL engine in the principle. In this case it drives the rear wheels, a little later the Ford Sierra Cosworth became four -wheel drive. Of course, the suspension with such a Sierra Cosworth is also a stroke sportier than with a regular Sierra and thicker bumper work, special wheels and a rear spoiler are the party for some outer indulgence. Recaro sports seats could not be missing and the whole story also seems complete with this copy. The current owner has been enjoying it for seven years and it looks like he takes good care of the car.

For many, the best-known Ford Sierra with a Cosworth badge is the three-by RS Cosworth and the More Powerful RS 500 Based on It.
