The entry
The Ford Escort RS Cosworth.
The Escort RS Cosworth was developed to homologate Ford's World Rally Championship car, using a turbocharged four-cylinder engine and four-wheel drive in a bodyshell shared in part with the standard Escort.
Its rear wing became one of the model's most recognisable features.
We review your Ford Escort RS Cosworth on the engineering behind it, its own history and its condition, not against a generic pricing model.
