Cosworth GBA

The Cosworth GBA is a turbocharged V6 Formula One engine that Cosworth developed with Ford for the 1986 and 1987 seasons and that the public knew as the Ford TEC, TEC-Turbo or TEC-F1, TEC standing for Turbo Engine Cosworth. It was the only turbocharged Formula One engine Cosworth and Ford built in the turbo era and the last new design they brought out before turbo engines were banned, and it was supplied only to selected teams, Haas Lola in 1986 and Benetton in 1987. The GB name followed the Cosworth GA, the company's first V6 from 1973, although the two engines were unrelated. It never won a World Championship round, but it took third place at the 1987 Austrian Grand Prix and again at the 1987 Australian Grand Prix, and its twin Garrett turbochargers gave about 900 bhp late in 1986.
