1993 Ford Escort RS Cosworth - Lot 79
1993 Ford Escort RS Cosworth French registration Series: WFOBXXGKABNC90009 Fochesato 300 hp preparation Nice restoration base To be restarted Cosworth and Ford, two mythical names in the history of the automobile, are inextricably linked. The association was born at the end of the 60s with the Anglia, and reached its climax with Formula 1 and rallying. It was with the SIERRA RS COSWORTH that the association first expressed itself in this sport. Thus, in the early 1990s, the Sierra Cosworth made Ford shine in competition. However, the size of the car was inadequate, so the Sierra's mechanics were transposed to the Escort's size. Thus began the Escort RS Cosworth in 1992. The new model retained the shape of the traditional Escort, but was 17.5 cm longer, 5 cm wider and had a 26.5 mm longer wheelbase. In terms of powertrain, the engine is no longer transverse, but longitudinal, and develops 220 hp, enabling it to reach speeds of up to 230 km/h. Numerous victories in the World Rally Championship, such as the Tour de Corse in 1993 and the Monte Carlo Rally in 1994, its track record and qualities made it an exceptional model. On top of this, there was a French tuner: Bruno Fochesato, who could make the little racer reach 400 hp. The example we're offering for sale is one of these Escorts from the workshops of Fochesato Sport, equipped with the 300 hp kit, a reinforced brake kit, double headlights and speed line wheels. Today, this Cosworth is back on the road. Stopped for 6 years due to the owner's illness, it hasn't been restarted since, the engine isn't blocked and no mechanical parts seem to be broken, the car having been stopped on the road. 1993 Ford Escort RS Cosworth French registration Series: WFOBXXGKABNC90009 Fochesato 300 hp preparation Nice restoration base To be restarted Cosworth and Ford, two mythical names from the history of the automobile, are inseparable.
