You never get too old to enjoy cars like the cossie they are just that addictive and despite being a vauxhall man myself i do want a cossie in my life at some point👍
I grew up wanting this. Times have changed, cars are different, safer, faster. I still want this! Not a Ford fan? Who wants a mint R32 over a R35? Exactly this was from an era that can never be replicated today
Modern cars are not safer. People have been deceived. Those car crash tests have only been done at about 50 km/h. People at an average are driving far faster today than in the past with people routinely doing 80 km/h as a cruising speed which is 60% faster than the actual testing speeds. SO while it is true that modern cars when driven at the same speeds as cars 30 years ago would be safer it becomes relevant when it is considered that drivers are going at higher speeds today.
Dan Sherwood people used to look at like I was mad for saying the exact same thing mate.... same goes supras and skylines too, give me a 3dr or saph any day of the week 💪🏼💪🏼
It's a shame that nowadays I see more ferraris and lambos than cossies. They're becoming way too expensive and rare and it's unfortunate they rarely come out to play

@@monkylondon I remember a Calibra Turbo and an M5 racing in front of me when I had the last of the Sapphires (NA thing - slow as Golden Syrup on a spoon). The Calibra got humped as the pair of them left my Sapphire for dead away from 120.

I have always wanted one of these. The closest we got to these was the Merkur XR4Ti...and they died off fairly quickly. I know that we got a few of those 16 valve turbo Cossie engines, but I don't remember in what. Usually we got the turd 2.3 8 valve turbo that came in the Thunderbird Turbocoupe. Imagine that, a car that weighs 3380 lbs with a 190 hp 240 lb ft 4 cylinder...wow...at least it came with a manual trans. I've driven them many times and they never failed to disappoint.
I remember giving up smoking and going out for two years and saving so I could finally get one of these, ended up buying severn valley motorsports demonstrator as they were moving onto the escort Cosworth, going back to wales across the bridge made it all worthwhile and had no regrets despite some toerag stealing it three days later!!!!! love it, brings back some great memories
Legendary.. always wanted one in the early 90s, but being only around 22 insurance was higher than I could count. Had a S2 Escort RS Turbo at least, chipped by Power Engineering in Uxbridge.. Good days.
Back in the 90s, Mine was magenta rwd, Blade wheels, Koni sus, Low springs, Drilled discs, Goodrige hoses, Scorpion exhaust, Reg B19 RSC, I always used to be up, The merry hill dudley, On a night, Good memories.
I think that might be the car my Late-Dad might have built! He blue printed a 400Bhp 4x4 Saff Cosworth. He built a blue printed engine for my brother Roy. Roy being the muttet, used it to pay a debt and I've been hunting for it. Since 2010. It's my Dads best work. Could u check to see if Roy A##### is on Log book history? Many thanks
I love this video, I miss my saff it was a similar spec to this running 360 bhp , Biggest regret of my life selling it. I use to have a J&R rs500 filter on it and the turbo flutter was so loud.
This man knows his cars! The cossie was something else..... an engine and technology they deemed to early for us to have. Now 20 year's later all the new cars are turbo but the old boy cossie will always rule the roost!
Awesome vid dude! I've had a few of these and XR4x4's years ago and always had a blast in them!! Love old school classic's and sleepers! Awesome video man! 👍
My second car was a ford sierra hatchback Mk1. I wanted a cosworth RS but could not afford it. I remember hearing people talk about lap times around the M25. Those were fun times 😃 The RS cosworth was up there with the best for lap times around the M25. This was before the government installed cameras around that route and ruined our fun. Don’t worry, I never tried it in my 1.6L Sierra. I could never keep up with the Cosworth 🙂
Running no dump valve and cone induction gives the noise between gear changes. I had 2 of these 2wd, Amed Bayjoo chip, only 270bhp but fun cars, wish I kept them.
Proper motor! Looks like a reyland AP brake kit, his only based in redditch now, you are in the right area for cossie stuff though, lot of big names around Birmingham and Dudley for these
I'm struggling with finding what my first car should be, i want to start off with something that's not too expensive but i can build it up performance wise slowly with time. Any recommendations?
Always my dream car one of these Sadly family life means i will never afford one nowadays Nice to see it thrashing round dudley / merry hill Brings back some memories of all the cruses there bitd in my xr2i and my mates r5 turbo/ 205gti /
When I did my 2 weeks work experience at school I went to the local tuning company. Last day the owner took me out in a white sapphire cosworth and absolutely shit me up, that was a scary fast car in 1994!
Love this car, tho it's bitter sweet. My dad's mate had one, in 1997, me, my dad and him went the pub in it. The bar man's son (18) was begging for a go. Within about 500 meters he lost it, and hit a solid concrete bollard. He didn't make it. Lovely car it was, a sapahie RS Cosy, in a deep maroon. A real sleeper. Nicked the owner sideways for a few years.

Iconic car, iconic wheels, iconic sounds!
Really wanted one of these back in the days.
Yeah.
I remember seeing a Sapphire Cosworth towing a trailer uphill & spanking a Porsche 968.
I will never forget that image.
Zerofightervi 968 it was a bucket of crap even when new. Not a good comparison to use
I grew up wanting this. Times have changed, cars are different, safer, faster. I still want this! Not a Ford fan? Who wants a mint R32 over a R35? Exactly this was from an era that can never be replicated today
More connected, raw and engaging. Yes not as capable overall that's evolution BUT they are the original pure blood.
Not sure about faster seen plenty of cossies slaying evos and amg mercs and porsches
Modern cars are not safer. People have been deceived. Those car crash tests have only been done at about 50 km/h. People at an average are driving far faster today than in the past with people routinely doing 80 km/h as a cruising speed which is 60% faster than the actual testing speeds.

Dude, what kind of blow off valve does this car have? I have a Tial Q50 bov on my built Civic and I love the way this bov sounds.

I don’t think it has one, that’s just the wastegate noise from high boosting turbo!

why does some turbos flutter and som only make a one scream when at high boost?
