Ford

Ford is an American automotive manufacturer that was established in 1903. Founded by Henry Ford, the Ford Motor Company is one of the world&#39;s largest automotive producers, and has been behind many notable innovations such as the production line. Early offerings such as the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/ford/model-t/">Model T</a> and <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/ford/model-a/">Model A</a> helped establish Ford as one of the world&#39;s foremost car makers, while models such as the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/ford/mustang/">Mustang</a>, <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/ford/bronco/">Bronco</a>, <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/ford/thunderbird/">Thunderbird</a>, and <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/ford/f-series/">F-Series</a> have become icons in their own right. Since its early days, Ford has always placed an emphasis on motorsport, having participated in a wide range of disciplines such as <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/ford/nascar/">NASCAR</a>, the World Rally Championship, the World Endurance Championship, and Formula 1. This pursuit of motorsport and performance has lead to the development of some truly special road cars, most notably the legendary <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/ford/gt/gt40/">GT40</a> and the revered <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/ford/shelby-mustang/">Shelby Mustang</a>. Some of Ford&#39;s international subsidiaries have also produced some special models, such as the wonderfully mad <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/ford/rs200/">RS200</a> and the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/ford/escort-europe/rs-cosworth/">Escort RS Cosworth</a>.

Ford Escort RS Cosworth

The Escort RS Cosworth was a high performance version of the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/ford/escort-europe/">European Ford Escort</a>. The RS Cosworth was created for Group A rallying, which required the creation of over 2500 production examples in order to qualify for competition. These highly tuned Escorts were based on the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/ford/sierra/rs-cosworth/">Ford Sierra RS Cosworth</a>&#39;s underpinnings, and featured the venerable Cosworth YB turbocharged 2.0L inline four engine. The Escort Cosworth was built in two main versions, with the first 2500 examples being used to satisfy homologation requirements. These first cars featured a larger turbo and intercooler, as well as a non-functioning water injection system, and were more reminiscent of the Group A rally cars. Later versions featured a smaller and less laggy turbo, and were more usable as daily drivers, yet performance between the two versions was largely the same. A total of 7,145 examples were built before the Escort RS Cosworth was discontinued in 1996.
