The Ford Escort RS Cosworth, produced from 1992 to 1996, is a legendary hot hatch that cemented its place in automotive history. Developed as a homologation special for Group A rallying, the RS Cosworth was a technological marvel that pushed the boundaries of performance and handling. Underneath its distinctive widebody kit, featuring flared wheel arches and a large rear wing, lay a potent 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, developed in collaboration with Cosworth Engineering. This engine, capable of producing 227 horsepower in its initial form, was mated to a close-ratio five-speed manual transmission, delivering exhilarating acceleration and a thrilling driving experience.

The interior was equally driver-focused, with Recaro bucket seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a comprehensive instrument panel.
