Meet the rally sensation with its iconic double-decker wing. Ford made waves in the 1990s World Rally Championship with the Sierra RS Cosworth 4×4, and in 1992, they unleashed the Escort RS Cosworth, a powerhouse designed for even greater performance. With roots deep in rally racing history, this beast features a highly-tuned four-wheel-drive system from the Sierra and a stunning dual-level wing. The hidden gem is a turbocharged 2L engine from Cosworth, delivering 223.9 BHP.

Built on a tubular steel space frame, it first dazzled onlookers at the 1954 French Grand Prix. Although initially featuring a streamlined body, adjustments were made for improved visibility, introducing the open-wheel style for most circuits. Powered by an innovative inline-8 engine, it churned out 285 BHP, helping Juan Manuel Fangio secure back-to-back World Championships.
