The Ford Sierra RS Cosworth is a high-performance version of the Ford Sierra that Ford Europe built from 1986 to 1992. It grew out of a Ford Motorsport project, defined by Stuart Turner in the spring of 1983, to produce an outright winner for Group A racing in Europe. Cosworth supplied a turbocharged twin-cam 16-valve engine, designated the YBB, developed from its YAA prototype on Ford's Pinto engine block, and Ford accepted an order of at least 15,000 engines, which later helped justify a four-door second generation. A Borg-Warner T5 gearbox was chosen, and the large rear wing and wheel arch extensions were needed to keep the car stable at high speed.
