Que? Cosworth is a tuning company that tunes Fords in England/Europe, much like Steeda or Saleen here in the US. I don't believe there was ever a "Ford Cosworth". That's like saying I've got a "Ford SVT", or a "Honda Mugen".

As far as street car stuff, they primarily do motor work on Ford 4-bangers, like the Fiesta, Escort, Focus, and in the past, the Ford Sierra (aka the XR4TI here in the US IIRC).

Cosworth's racing program produced some awesome F1 motors back in the day as well.

Ford now owns Cosworth, and uses them as their motor development program for European racing. They're also Ford's European equivalent to the SVT group here in the States.

Cosworth has tuned some sick ass Fords over the years:

Escort RS MkV:


Cosworth Escort (concept based on the rally car):


Cosworth Sierra:


Cosworth Fiesta ST Concept:


Cosworth Focus RS Concept:


cosworth designed the xr4ti, and murker is a branch off ford

It's a real shame we don't get these cars here in America.
