Whale Tail Drama — 2 museum-grade prints that set the mood. The Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth represented the peak of Ford's turbocharged touring and rally platform — a 500-unit homologation special that delivered Group A dominance and forest-stage credibility through the YB engine's boost potential. Rothmans sponsorship linked the car to classic rally livery mythology, while rear-wheel-drive turbo aggression offered a distinct philosophy against four-wheel-drive Integrale and quattro rivals. The Ford Escort RS Cosworth became the defining British rally homologation special of the early 1990s — a whale-tailed hatch that carried Cosworth turbo engineering and four-wheel-drive traction into WRC factory entries before the Focus platform succeeded it. François Delecour's tarmac mastery and Tommi Mäkinen's RAC Rally victories made the Escort Cosworth a fixture of European rally broadcasts, while Martini Racing livery connected the car to classic sponsor mythology.
