1987 FORD SIERRA RS COSWORTH

The Ford Sierra RS Cosworth is a high-performance version of the Ford Sierra that was built by Ford Europe from 1986 to 1992. It was the result of a Ford Motorsport project with the purpose of producing an outright winner for Group A racing in Europe.

The Ford Sierra RS Cosworth was first presented to the public at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1985, with plans to release it for sale in September and closing production of the 5,000 cars in the summer of 1986.

In practice, it was launched in July 1986, and 5545 were manufactured in total, of which 500 were sent to Tickford for conversion to the Sierra three-door RS500 Cosworth. One was just sold for over 300.000€ at auction. The vehicles were manufactured at Ford’s Genk factory in Belgium in both Left and Right hand drive, with the Pre Production Prove out Process cars produced in February 1986 and the main production of the vehicle commencing summer 1986.. 3 colors were produced, Black, White and Moonstone Blue, with White and Moonstone Blue both seeing around 2/5th of the total number of Right Hand Drive models produced with Black cars around 1/5th.

Besides being hugely successful in the touring car championships ( DTM, British, Australian, etc…) the Sierra Cosworth was also pressed into service as a rally car, and saw some success. After the abolition of the Group B formula in the World Rally Championship at the end of 1986, manufacturers had to turn to Group A cars and Ford, like most others, found itself without a fully suitable car. The Cosworth.

Our 1987 and 224 hp model is finished in the more exclusive Black color and has been repainted once. She retains her original interior and is absolutely rust free which is very hard to find. I don’t like saying this because they were produced in my hometown.

Originally delivered in Italy and with 3 previous owners she is ready for you to explore at our Belgian showroom.
