4 Ford Sierra RS500

It wasn’t until 1987 that the muchvaunted Ford Sierra RS Cosworth first appeared on the tracks in the hands of Andy Rouse. The ace engineer had run an XR4Ti for 1985 and 1986 as a mobile test bed for what was to come – the competition-focused RS Cosworth. Now used to turbo tech and how to get the most out of the Blue Oval’s flagship, Rouse was at the forefront. The RS500 came on stream in late 1987 and it was a huge hit. With victories in Germany and in the World championship, the British scene was a hotbed for the RS500 – mainly thanks to the customer cars sold by Andy Rouse Engineering.
