The Ford Sierra RS, produced from 1985 to 1987, was a high-performance variant of the Ford Sierra, a popular mid-size car marketed by Ford Europe. The RS model was designed to be a homologation special for Group A touring car racing, a requirement for manufacturers competing in the European Touring Car Championship. The Sierra RS featured a number of performance upgrades over the standard Sierra, including a more powerful engine, a stiffer suspension, and a wider body. The engine was a 2.0-liter Cologne V4, tuned to produce 150 hp (112 kW). This engine was paired with a five-speed manual gearbox and front-wheel drive. The RS was a popular choice for both road and track, with its performance and handling being highly praised by automotive journalists and enthusiasts alike.

Several distinguishing features set the Sierra RS apart from its standard counterpart. It boasted a distinctive wide-body kit that included wider wheel arches to accommodate larger wheels and tires, a deeper front spoiler, and a rear spoiler for added downforce. These aerodynamic enhancements played a crucial role in optimizing the car's performance on the racetrack. Additionally, the RS featured a lowered suspension, stiffer springs and dampers, and a front anti-roll bar, all contributing to its sharper handling and precise cornering capabilities. The interior featured Recaro sport seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a full instrumentation panel, enhancing both comfort and driver involvement. Visually, the RS stood out with its distinctive three-spoke alloy wheels, a black grille, and red-painted brake calipers, further emphasizing its sporting character.
