πŸŽ‰ Anniversary Spotlight – 1986 Ford Sierra RS Cosworth πŸš—πŸ”₯

This year we’re celebrating 40 years of the iconic Sierra RS Cosworth β€” the car that transformed Ford’s β€œJelly Mould” into a motorsport legend.

Launched in 1986 with a 204bhp turbocharged Cosworth engine, just 5,545 were built, including 500 of the legendary RS500s.

A true 80s performance icon that still commands attention today 🏁
