Ford Escort AAL/ANL, 1994 г.в.

FORD ESCORT RS COSWORTH 4X4 230CV 1994 -∗∗ Sold new in Portugal ∗∗ Designed in accordance with Group A homologation specifications for the World Rally Championship, where it was driven by Miki Biasion and Francois Delecour. More precisely, at the end of Group B, in 1986. The brands focused their attention on Group A, and Ford was no exception. However, the Sierra (used in the rear-wheel drive Cosworth and all-wheel drive XR4x4 versions) fell short of the competition. The Sierra Cosworth lacked traction and agility, while the XR4x4 lacked power. Both were well behind the Delta Integrale, which was more powerful, lighter and much more agile. Ford tried to address these shortcomings with the introduction of the Sierra RS Cosworth 4×4 in 1990, but being derived from a family saloon, it could never compete with the light and compact Lancia. The solution was clear: Ford Escort. Ford was preparing to launch the fifth generation Escort and decided to create its new weapon for the World Rally Championship at the same time. The design of the Escort RS Cosworth is undoubtedly another reason why it is an icon. Stephen Harper and Frank Stephenson created a silhouette that is so recognisable for its muscular proportions, yet at the same time imbued with an elegance that is completely atypical for a car of this type. The aggressive air vents on the bonnet and behind the front wheels were essential for dissipating the heat generated in the engine compartment during competition. The famous rear whale tail and huge adjustable front spoiler were designed in detail to make the RS Cosworth the first production car capable of generating downforce on both axles. The road version ‘RS Cosworth’ was available in the Escort range between 1992 and 1996 in very limited numbers, which, together with its sporting successes, make the Escort RS Costworth an ‘iconic’ and highly desirable sports car. It is equipped with air conditioning, electric sunroof, electric windows and electric mirrors. This advertisement was published by computer routine, all data needs to be confirmed with the seller.
