This was a Ford in 1971 the GT70 - started life as a project devised by Roger Clark and Stuart Turner for rallying with a view to putting it in to production the Ghia styling house did a fully trimmed road version.
Started with a mid mounted Cologne 2.9 V6 just as they put a BDG in it , sorted the handling , senior management cancelled it in a round of company cuts.
Pity it never got properly rallied, it could have been a British Stratos.
GREAT COSSIE..... NOT
pile of yellow dung!
330 bhp.. wow thats amazing.. the same as what i had in an ST 5 years ago and still less than the mild upgrade you can get for the current RS model.
A message for the Ford marketing team. Grow some real bks and stop getting RS fans excited for no good reason..

These STs look immeasurably better in the metal than they do on the Internet. Saw one last week, albeit a standard one and it looked amazing!
Not sure on the new orange... the last shade on the MK II was perfect! The blue looks absolutely lovely though and even better in estate guise. I think the darker colours are gonna be the best for this car. Even in the flesh some parts still look a bit awkward and ungainly and the dark colours mask these somewhat.Still I saw a white one that was filthy as heck and it looked great.
The photo of the Escort Cosworth looks like it was taken on the Cat & Fiddle road in the Peak District - a regular drive of mine not far from home, slightly spoiled by the SPECS speed flow cameras.
Apparently drivers and riders seem to enjoy it somewhat.......sadly a little too enthusiastically at times hence the cameras >>>>>>

Not very nice, they look like Kahns on there too?! http://www.kahndesign.com/wheels/wheels_detail.php...
Not the direction I would expect a fast ford to take!
Was thinking that as well, the white RS in the pictures on that link was up for sale by Kahn earlier this year, IIRC the advert stated that the car was under construction by Cosworth to develop 400 bhp though I'm not sure what became of it Not the direction I would expect a fast ford to take!
