THE ROAD LEGAL RALLY CAR - 520HP ESCORT RS COSWORTH WRC REVIEW
#WRC #JOHN #COSSIE
Escort Cosworth Wiki Info:
The Ford Escort RS Cosworth is a rally version homologation special of the fifth generation European Ford Escort. It was designed to qualify as a Group A car for the World Rally Championship, in which it competed between 1993 and 1998. It was available as a road car from 1992 until 1996 in very limited numbers. The first 2500 cars made before 1 January 1993 are in fact "Homologation special versions." It was instantly recognisable due to its large "whale tail" rear spoiler. One of the main selling points was the Cosworth YBT, a highly tunable turbocharged 2.0 L (1,993 cc) with a bore x stroke of 90.8 mm × 77 mm (3.57 in × 3.03 in) Inline-four engine[1][2] which had an output of 227 PS (167 kW; 224 bhp) in standard trim. Tuning companies have achieved power outputs of over 1,000 bhp (746 kW; 1,014 PS).[3]
Development
Rear, showing "whale-tail" wing
Ford developed the car around the chassis and mechanicals of the Sierra Cosworth, to accommodate the larger Cosworth engine and transmission, while clothing it in Escort body panels to make it resemble the standard Mk 5 Ford Escort, although the front doors and roof are the only bodyshell elements that are actually interchangeable. This accommodation was required as the floor pan of the regular Mk 5 Escort was designed for front-wheel-drive only initially (although a four-wheel drive version, the RS2000 4x4 was soon introduced). Designed under the guidance of Rod Mansfield and John Wheeler of Ford's SVO department, the styling was designed during 1989, a year before the standard Escort was launched, by Stephen Harper at MGA Developments in Coventry. The aerokit (front and rear spoilers) was designed by MGA with oversight by John Wheeler,[4] whilst the ride and handling was overseen by John Bull and Mick Kelly. The body tooling was created by coachbuilders Karmann at their facility in Rheine, Germany, where the cars were manufactured.
Changes were made to the engine management system and a new turbocharger was fitted. Permanent four-wheel drive with a 34/66% front/rear split came courtesy of an uprated five-speed gearbox as used in the Sierra Cosworth. Recaro sports seats came as standard. Later production models were available without the oversized tail spoiler although by far the majority were still ordered with it.[citation needed] Like its Sierra predecessor, they are commonly nicknamed "Cossies" by enthusiasts.[5]
The Escort RS Cosworth was a rare car, with 7,145 vehicles produced from the start of production on 19 February 1992 until the last car rolled out of the factory on 12 January 1996.
A small number were officially imported to the United States by a third party.[6] Now that a number of vehicles are older than 25 years, there are an increasing number that are being imported to the United States.
The car's top speed was 150 mph (240 km/h), which rivalled cars including the Audi Quattro, BMW M3, Nissan 300ZX, and Toyota Supra, and comfortably outperformed traditional "hot hatchbacks".
I came, John drove, Monky made a sick video... much love my friend you did the old girl proud x
Loved the car mate driven as a cozy should 😎😎✌✌👌👌👍👍
Adam for president
A really well sorted cossie, fair play to you for still using it to its fullest, rare car these days.
Proper motor pal 👍
You’ve got a keeper of a car there pal ! 😎
What a guy Adam is for bringing it back after breaking it!😂
On a side note, how do these videos not get more views?
Best content in the sector by farrrrrr!
This is what the ML channel is about!
Respect Ed
Mike Costin and Keith Duckworth. The 2 men that gave us the iconic name that STILL commands respect. Awesome video indeed!
Even compared with big HP modern cars this still holds it's own 110%. Big up Mike and Keith
@@monkylondon And to think it was based on a pinto block too
Old-school escorts runarounds 🙌 back in the day same block
Will always have a soft spot for a properly tuned Cossie.
Original gangster for sure
Old skool fords tuned properly are unbeatable not the fastest but just perfection ❤
@@ianwall8363there is definitely something special about a good old rally slag
John won't crash it but John will thrash it 😂 Your vids are awesome and your driving is proper. One of the best drivers on any u tube platform. Absolutely love watching ML vids. Respecpa bro
You’s are like brothers, i fucking love it 👏👏❤️ ‘Half John today’? … ‘No go full John’ 😂😂😂💪💪💪
Fair play to the owner letting you drive it how it should be. Proper car. I owned a 400bhp RWD Escort Cosworth and that wanted to kill you at every opportunity. Regarding the weightz they was sub 1300kg standard, removing the 4x4 will bring it down by at least 100kg, if not a bit more.
Great car, I miss them sounds
How the fuck does John still have a license 😂😂😂 nice to see a car not on fire though 😂😂 much love monky 👌👍
Road laws are different in Mexico. 🤣🤫
More like how is he even still alive 😂
John who?
@@turbowank16v It says McLovin on his License
Nobody knows who he is! 🤷
Adam is a legend, what a guy! John breaks his motor and then Adam fixes it and tells John to go full send! 🤣Another quality video in the bag Monky! 👍
Oi John didn't even break it 😂 Adam's middle name is also John. Glad you enjoyed it much love yo
John went hard on this one, and fair play to Adam for letting him.
This is the best Cosworth video I have ever seen.What a car and the guy's knowledge and enthusiasm is infectious.Love it!
Absolutely love it when the Sun is out and John comes back out the cupboard Brilliant video and absolutely epic car 😂
I've missed these type of John videos, unreal 😂
John's like this every video😂 much love cheers for watching
Best bloke you’ve had on here he was down for the John mayhem!! Get this bloke on again when the nos is sorted!!
LIVING THE DREAM
..... half John... come on man, he wanted the full John experience 🤜🤛
This was incredible. One of the best monky videos ever released imo.
Probably one of the best drivers on RUclips in my opinion
for Mexico driver/drifter
Always Full Send 👊
Best ML video yet.. Adam is a legend.. “half John today? No full John” 😂😂 say no more
Gotta be the best vid you’ve done Monky. Awesome car, great music choice, the owner seems a great laugh too. Brilliant 👌
can tell John was absolutly loving it! such a sick car
1. Car is a beast and sounds insane
2. What a legend he is for insisting on "full john" after it being broken already
John brought a mate along, he was loving it. Cossie forever!
Sensational driving, editing, and choice in music - well done John 👏
Nice one bruvva
Adam is a top bloke for letting John drive that cossie how it should be driven to the max 👊🏻 sick vid monkey👍🏻
What an absolute, tool love it! John doesnt mess about, nice work boys.
Wild ride! Great to see the rally car theme continued after the EVO's. Cool build from a bare shell basically. Bringing the cars on trailers, our guys know what old John is all about :)
Since this was another episode from the leafy green lanes of the beloved Mexico, muchos gracias, Snr Monky. And another thing, thank you for your recent IG post on the subject
of 'going outside'. Fine message, duly noted and many thanks ML for this great food for thought. Catch you outside Sir 👏
Nice one Hannes mad story for sure, from bare shell to race car! Feelings mutual respect
You can't argue driving talent when the owner is that happy to be passenger lmao
Johns a Animal 😅
Cosworth,mexico and some john action 🔥🔥🔥
If Carlsberg did Monday's
@@monkylondon 😂😂😂
Crazy review what a legend the owner is he didn't tap out once 😂👌👌
Absolutely killed it with this video..man like John is next level..Hat's off to Adam for resurrecting this Icon 🫶🏽
Adam smashed it absolute monster
Oi nah this video is legendary and must go viral. Big up to the owner for allowing the car to be driven in a way all us petrol heads (no full John….absolute legend) wanna see from the heart. And big up John brilliant driving editing music was ace to 💥💥💥I loved this vid can you tell now for my third watch 😂
Fantastic!! Thanks mate ❤
The best part was watching the boost gauge peg everytime you matted the loud peddle....
Chaos! John is a naughty one. Top vid!
Top bloke for coming back for his car to get a double spanking by John such a lovely motor sounds crazy turbo like a jet engine really don’t make motors like this anymore great story about the car aswell deserves the life it should of had. Well done pal. Thanks again ML for the sick content 🤙🏻😬
Never gets old watching john Hoon it 🤣
To think he said that the 4wd was expensive and flippantly said he "added the sequential because its cheaper"
this is what i like to see. car being driven properly instead of sat in a garage collecting dust
Must say it every time smashing the videos out the park 10/10 keep it up brother
Monky content keeps giving us awesome rides 👍 This is really well sorted cossie , some lovely work gone into this car. Top owner, still using it to the fullest 😃 Some great driving skills from John 👊 Nice tunes too 🎵
Nice one Pete cheers for tuning in 👍 New video this Monday
Half john na full john😅😅love it sick car review😊this gearbox really helps this car☺keep up with this amazing content bro😊
Full tarmac stage now live from Mexico let me know what you think, ending gets spicy #john💀 Enjoy👍
Nice car bro 😃 But it ain’t no group b car 😢
@@richardharrison6027made you comment though😂 and tbf Group A Cossie had 350hp so this with 520hp is similar HP to Group B era, RS200 had 450hp pretty sure although lighter and obviously mid engined
I already said it’s a nice car but the power level is the only thing similar to a group B car, the spec of the one you featured is a little over group N and not even close to group A that were limited to 300 not 350.It seems to me that you can drive and if you want to test your skills you may want to do a feature on mine which is a Cosworth WRC with a twist 😉
@@richardharrison6027plus John's driving it's technically Group S. What Cossie you got 👀
I have two, but the one i want you to drive is a little deferent to say the least. Don’t really want to spoil it for ya to be honest but let’s just say you won’t have seen one before, not to this spec anyway. I would love to se your reaction when you lay your eyes on it.
lovely wave of approval from the mazda 3🤣 - 15:35
Lovely Cossie, this is gonna be a good one!
This is undoubtedly the best video yet, what a bit of staging and what a car!
Still the best channel for car content !
Fist bump 👊
Yes Boyz a Cossie on The Channel C'mon ❤
What a Sick Video this was man absolutely Legendary Video 💯 one of the best in the Ford scene I do love the Cossies these are absolutely Insanely quick with the right mods ect this is really wonderful to see something not everyone does with these is build them massive power and Swap them to RWD This is a Legend of a car Creeping up in Value massively and will continue to rise ❤
Legendary Video As Always Monkey No'1 Supporter since Day1 absolutely love all the content u put out Always doing Mad Sends in big power cars absolutely Legendary bro ❤
Lovely Motor Mate! What a hoon machine. I loved every minute of that video :D
That bit with Liar Liar in the background 😍👌
‘No full John’ Absolute weapon!!
Seeing John full send on B roads in my dream car with rear wheel conversion, there’s no words!! What a geezer of an owner too, smiles for miles. Epic content!! Nuff love from Jungle Joe 👊🏼
I been waiting for this one absolute weapon
4WD is just ballast in summer 👌 bloody nice car and well done to John for fully exploiting 34psi. Same pressure going through the engine as what’s in the tyres 😝
Quality vid and quality owner for letting John rag it!..
Dream car/build. 😍😍
Excellent job, Adam

Thank you so much, that's very kind x
tbh honest I did wonder why there was music played over the driving scenes , trust me , all we wanted to hear was your cossie being ragged by John
Best video I’ve ever watched on this app
0:17 I thought it was a random light bulb you found in the car... 🤣🤣
6:00 Imagine you see that as a policeman going the other way... 😁😁
Now this is why I originally subbed to you. Proper John action 😂💨💨
Nice bro glad you enjoyed it 🤝
That’s lovely be even nicer with white wheels loose the scooby vibe.. I spot some earls fittings we used to get them free when dad worked for a race team 😉
Obviously I love Jap motors, but there's something about a Cossie is hard to beat, especially when it's getting thrashed like that! That thing looks RAPID!
Full John on day 2 what a legend 😎
Much love cheers for watching
At times i thought i was watching a rally stage from the 90's !! Even the sounds were spot on, just missing the pace notes 😂
Nice one John 🔥
Sick sick sick sick car and SICK DRIVER MAN 👍🏽
"She is a slippy boy!" Very inclusive of you.
13:30 great edit with the music here.
