Rod the Cosworth legend.... I had the pleasure to meet him and have a cuppa talk cossies when he purchased a front bumper from me. Sir you are and will always be a legend in the ford world. R. I. P Rod😔
I had a Magenta Sierra Cosworth 4x4 and on the road it was one of the best cars I’ve ever driven .. no body roll and superb brakes … they have certainly increased in price since .. not as quick as this one though .. great stuff and love the flame 🔥
My god Rod are you still alive with all that power. My 200sx is 400bhp+ and its a handfull.I had 2 sapphire cossies 2wd good cars and have followed your cars progress over the years.Well done awesome long term project and your power levels now are right up there with the best.
I think people are forgetting that this speed is reached in a comparatively short run. It is seriously quick! Other cars attended on the same day but failed to run, the Cosworth went out in bad conditions and still did the job! I don't understand the haters comments, I suspect the owner of this car spent less time on UA-cam criticising others efforts than some of these....
yeah...to me they are supercars...my dad has 2 of em...1 is a mk2 and the other is a sierra. never heard him say that any one of em broke down. they are really good.
BRING ON THE COSSIES.I OWNED A 400 BHP BUILT ESC COSSIE BY HARVEY GIBBS UNBELIEVEABLE PERFORMANCE.EVEN BEAT MY BROS R1 UPTO 140.COSWORTH IS A BONAFIDE SUPER CAR THAT WILL GIVE ANYTHING A RUN FOR ITS MONEY,,LOVE COSSIES OWNED 4 SAPHIRES AND 1 ESC COSSIE.WHAT A MOTOR
fair play to mark and rod. an awesome effort! i know how they feel as im obsessed with cosworths and spend an absoloute fortune on mine without even thinking about it. it is a hobby after all!
How badly did I want a Saph Cosworth when they first came out... Shame most have been ragged to death now - mind you, 43 grand for a car that does that sort of speed, has 5 seats and decent boot is an absolute bargain!
Their are indeed 2 Cossies in the world over 200mph. This one at 206.08 & the Reyland Escort at 200.2mph. I dont know anyone in Edmonton but my son does so thats probably the contact.
LOL guy is a fucking legend. 206 mph in an 800 hp rd car, with no seat belt, with one hand on the wheel, on wet and windy day, he s fucking driving ROBOT HIGH SPEED COSWORTH MACHINE. awesome car nice one for the upload dude
knowing rod, and knowing the car, and also knwoing a little bit about what he's done to it and the effort him and mark have put into it, unless some people have positive comments to make, you really don't have a clue as to exactly how fast this car is, rod has let the car (and sheady) do the talking more than once :)
I have owned 4 Fords, 1 cortina & 3 sierras all awesomly reliable!I currently have a 90 sappphire ghia EFI DOHC 2.0l with 300,000 on tha clock with original cam chain & can do 200km/h any day of the week with no cosworth assistance. p.s cosworths are way awesome!!
Hi Cant believe their is still so much interest in something that happened 4 years ago. Seems to be a lot of dispute about my cars Stats. Then it had 690bhp & 150 Nitrous. The latest engine has 838bhp & 200 Nitrous. The 5th gear day was in the wet & you will notice we turned right down the runway so not its full length. In that Spec it was capable of : 0-100mph 6.9 0-150mph 12.7 0-180mph 17.8 0-200mph 24.5 Now keep it clean lads & continue the debate.
The Veyron cost so much because it was designed from scratch to do well in excess of 200 mph; after 220 there's a wall where every mph is a real pain to achieve. It also set out to do all this while remaining reliable and driveable. Most 1000BHP modified would send you into straight into the nearest wall if they started at all without a mechanic handy.
The funny thing is, the RS2000 16v used the same engine that later ended up in the Ford Galaxy. Same 150hp. Depending on spec, it's either 135 or 150hp, but the 150hp version has iirc 10:1 compression, and the 8v I4 has 9.75:1
I don't even care if you drive the car fast. You would make a small day dream come true for me just making a film of a walk around, sound of engine rev from exhause, lift the hood and show it off and a shot of the start up/gauges sequence. I'd also love to see the pedals and inside. I live in Los Angeles where we have Lambo, Ferarri, Porsche GT, etc but something like a Tuscan, Griffith or even a Vanquish or Vantage is pretty rare site here.
Hi Been stated on here that it was over 4k runway actually it was 1.5miles (2.4k) & was wet, this car is capable of way over 200mph within a mile if conditions are dry. It has 838bhp off Nitrous in its latest Spec so over 1000bhp on the gas. How do I know, well i own it.
wow ppl really saying how they hate its boxy shape old ford classics look better than the shape of plastice wavy gay lines on todays cars old fords are for real men
206.1mph and 206.0mph is very impressive but the gearing must be holding it back. I wonder if the Sierra hatch would be more aerodynamic at 200+mph than the saphire? Not many 3dr Sierra shells left in one piece though.
about crankshaft i dont know too , pistons is brand new from amg , wires are from hks, hn air filters , greddy high pressure oil pan , top speed limited to 300 , suspension is almost stock only new springs from cosworth , 1.2m Cable, w/ 12, 18 & 14 pin connectors , no gauges with turbo boost, bcs illegal in estonia , wheels are Xtreme X3 *17
Another good point and well presented, i can't help it if most (but not all women) see an E plate Sierra with what looks like a picnic table on the boot and a drainpipe as an exhaust and assume i'm a pauper and can't afford a newer car. But i do need a car if i'm out on the pull coz the wife would go batshit if i took one home and hotels are so expensive nowdays
I do not read newspapers! a standard saph cossie is fast enuff. this one is a beast! you dont need to spend that amount of money, tho for a very big fast comfy car, the saph cosworth. i am correct! upto evo 6 were good cars, fast an good at rally since then, down hill. the 9 is slower than the 6 an the exact same as the 8, but with 9 instead of 8! I am always correct, my mum told me so!
The man's got a good point, i have a 480bhp RS500 and i did have a little traffic light drag race with a lambo. I did win just but at the next set of lights it's fair to say the blokes bird was a damm sight better looking that anything i'm ever likely to get hold of.
have just watched vid and that is a crazy car 850 bhp through rwd cossie must be bit lively ive been in a standard one many moons ago and that was scary!.respect
thats a lot of power for any road or race car, would not want to drive it on the road too much power. but each to there own.. old fords make good driving cars!
I had three cosworths. One 4x4, One RWD and one Escort. And I still see the Sierra/Sapphire as a familycar (but faster). And they are not well build. Cosworth maybe did their job right but Ford did not. Well, I like it anyway. I thinking of buying a swedish rwd with 519hp. It's great to humiliate supercars with those cosworths ;)
@jipasd It's had a new turbo since this video. And also it does have a roll cage. The cage is hidden to keep the car looking standard. But if you look inside the car you can actaually see it in there. Also its far from rusty :)
Cant believe this is still going elcastano Its actually in A1 condition. It looks crap on this video because it had just blasted down a very wet/dirty runway at over 200mph. Someone asked for its figures.(on 220mph gearing) 0-60 4.09 0-100 6.9 0150 12.7 0-180 17.8 0-200 24.4 Cheers Rod
They sell exactly the same cars (and I mean exactly). Only the names/badges are different. However in England we used to have Vauxhall Carltons and Vauxhall Omegas. They were not the same cars but more like comparing a Peugeot 205 and a Peugeot 207. The Vauxhall Vectra replaced the Vauxhall Cavalier in much the same way. I could park a UK Vauxhall; Vectra, Cavalier, Omega and Carlton all next to each other and you will see they are all different cars.
1:08 what happened the the front Right headlight here? There's something streaming from it and the headlight housing seems to be unmounted, but then in the next shot it's perfect again. You can also see the same damage when the car is going past the camera over 200mph

You only reason people don't like the look of these cars is because they don't understand how fooking awesome they are!!!
A 40 grand supercar, with the practicality of a saloon car.

I'd also love to see the pedals and inside.
I live in Los Angeles where we have Lambo, Ferarri, Porsche GT, etc but something like a Tuscan, Griffith or even a Vanquish or Vantage is pretty rare site here.

206.1mph and 206.0mph is very impressive but the gearing must be holding it back.
I wonder if the Sierra hatch would be more aerodynamic at 200+mph than the saphire? Not many 3dr Sierra shells left in one piece though.
cossie still the daddy over 20 years on
30+ yrs on and yesss spot on! ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
about crankshaft i dont know too , pistons is brand new from amg , wires are from hks, hn air filters , greddy high pressure oil pan , top speed limited to 300 , suspension is almost stock only new springs from cosworth , 1.2m Cable, w/ 12, 18 & 14 pin connectors , no gauges with turbo boost, bcs illegal in estonia , wheels are Xtreme X3 *17

Should've been competing at the wrc today. It would've been exciting to watch.
I do not read newspapers!
a standard saph cossie is fast enuff. this one is a beast! you dont need to spend that amount of money, tho for a very big fast comfy car, the saph cosworth.
i am correct!
upto evo 6 were good cars, fast an good at rally since then, down hill. the 9 is slower than the 6 an the exact same as the 8, but with 9 instead of 8!
I am always correct, my mum told me so!
PS lets have some awesome Tuscan videos, I'm a huge fan.
Mr Shead had balls like melons to drive that chassis at over 200 mph in the wet
wow what a cossie i love them going to buy one soon i hope my will be as cool as this lol
Mark's not even wearing his seatbelt... he's got some Bollox
awesome car and cool that it can achieve that speed. but without a parachute, how do your brakes feel when coming down from those speeds?
The man's got a good point, i have a 480bhp RS500 and i did have a little traffic light drag race with a lambo. I did win just but at the next set of lights it's fair to say the blokes bird was a damm sight better looking that anything i'm ever likely to get hold of.
have just watched vid and that is a crazy car 850 bhp through rwd cossie must be bit lively ive been in a standard one many moons ago and that was scary!.respect
its amazing engines i have a Ford Scorpio Cosworth and he is a monster
no bad for a near 20 year old family saloon.cossies rock.
thumbs up for 206mph and not losing the duct tape holding the headlights on!
I've still got the spare wing mirror in the loft. Lol. Just got left there after Rod died 😪. In Feb 14th 2018.
Ann Tarry.
My dream car!
Me & you both my man ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
thats a lot of power for any road or race car, would not want to drive it on the road too much power.
but each to there own..

Its actually in A1 condition. It looks crap on this video because it had just blasted down a very wet/dirty runway at over 200mph.
Someone asked for its figures.(on 220mph gearing)
0-60 4.09
0-100 6.9
0150 12.7
0-180 17.8
0-200 24.4
Cheers Rod
Can't argue with that
This is amazing! Thank your for sharing this! Got more vids of that car?

They sell exactly the same cars (and I mean exactly). Only the names/badges are different.

ST is engine wise and RS is body,interior wise modifications

Awesome...how much would it cost to make 7OOhp from a cossie if I would change all at once and correctly done? What stoker kits are available? thanks
That's so awesome
brilliant stuff
@coszie thats because its a single cylinder 2 stroke 20bhp 125 you spazz its had a golf gti at the lights so its not exactly slow to 60
#1 CAR
now that is a car!
I think you'll find its a 2 litre I4. 16v. Based on the pinto block.
@MADRod206 Well done Einstein, the Enzo has less power, so why should it?
It's a 20 year old familycar. How good can it look?
......😱.....legend!!!super car 330kmh...
The only engines that have the internal geometry to do 20,000 rpm are the latest F1 engines. There is no way in hell it was one of these engines.
It didn't look like that car had a roll cage, and the seats looked standard too! Madness...
look at the size of that snail holy shit thats a big ass turbo haha
ultimate sleeper!!!!
I wonder how long the engine will do it before its giving up in a huge fireball hrhr =P
@Wwatzuk
nauroin vartin! lyyväänkö veekasi tulille??
@palefaced1 why is it a pos? it just did over 200mph, and this is an old vid too, cosworths are a 2.0 turbo so i think 850 bhp is pretty f@~king good
So would I. How do i find rod terry's channel? can't seem to find it anymore..
perfect cossie!!!!!!!!!!!
i want, very nice car
yeah it is. how familiar with the l4 are you? i wanna know if the which version produces more compression as standard the sierra 8v l4 or the rs2000 16v?
i love this car though. my dream car is an escort rs cossie,
Well, I love the GT500 to, the funny thing is that a Cossie will bust that ass with half of the engine volume.
Can't agree more mate.
1:08 Duck-tape FTW!!!That why it goes so fast!
love sierra,s!!
I have looked around that car in real life because I know mark and the man who made this car
sierra power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just catching up on the ongoing debates on this vid and was just wondering is this thing a RWD or 4x4.
Sorry, Ill just pick you up on a few of your silly points.
1) Opel IS Vauxhall. Vauxhall is the English name, Opel the rest of Europe.
2) A Carlton is NOT an Omega they are completly different cars
3) They both come in left and right hand drive
4) A Lotus Carlton wont beat a 911 Turbo
5) The 228mph Omega I mentioned is of course not standard (derrr) and should do 280mph (by Ole Ringstad - A Norwegian farmer)
6) My point was about the Omegas strikingly low drag coefficient.
Wow 16 years ago upload 😂❤
Turbo chatter m8, just the dump valve doing its job ;-)
@sweet1j what does "it look harder" got to do with not wearing seatbelts?
sleeeeeeperrr!!!
well done awsemo car
incredibly quick but pretty i bet its a bumpy ride!
