The Ford Sierra, launched in 1982, was a revolutionary car for Ford, marking a departure from the boxy designs of its predecessors and embracing a more aerodynamic and modern aesthetic. The 1983 model year saw the introduction of the Sierra's iconic "jelly mold" design, characterized by its smooth curves and large wraparound windows. The Sierra was available in a variety of body styles, including a 3-door hatchback, a 5-door hatchback, a 4-door saloon, and a 2-door coupé. Underneath the stylish exterior, the Sierra was built on a new platform with front-wheel drive and a wide range of engines, from the economical 1.3-liter Pinto unit to the powerful 2.8-liter V6. The Sierra also offered innovative features for its time, including a driver’s airbag, anti-lock braking, and a rear spoiler that automatically deployed at speeds over 50 mph.
