Lotus performed the lords work with that car.
We would very much agree 👍
Both iconic cars in there day stood the test of time 👍
We couldn't agree more, thanks for commenting 😃
There was limited comparison between these two. I had a Sierra Cosworth 500 in 1988 that was a bit more powerful than this one.
It was bumpy and rattled a lot and was very noisy when wound up. Over-rated.
i had LC 0359 in 1994/1995 and it was much more sophisticated than the SC500. Far more satisfying to drive and much quicker. Mine had a custom exhaust system and was 447bhp on the dyno. I drove it in Europe quite a lot and did one journey of 199 miles in 1 hour 25 minutes. I checked it one day with four people on board and it did 0-100 and stop again in under 15 seconds!
The halcyon days of that kind of driving are now long gone.
Thank you for commenting about your experiences, it's comments like this that help us grow 🙏
I love it👍🏼.
Back in the day guy in the rugby team had one of they lotus cartoons 😂, absolutely nuts comical at speed the first time I experienced the noises and acceleration I thought the thing was broken, also first time I seen a fuel gauge drop so quick, over the old forth road bridge for a game in Dumfermline then back to Haddington, what a car brilliant day think we got beat can only remember the car 👍
Thanks for sharing that memory, hope you enjoyed the episode 😊
Love it

You really can't put these car's up against each other
Hey, thanks for the comment. Whilst we agree that ordinarily you wouldn't. This episode looks at factors that can be compared and additionally the concept is a dream, so anything can happen in a dream 😆
But thanks for taking the time to comment your thoughts, it really helps us to improve what we do 😊
Great video
Thanks again John, we hope you enjoyed it 😊
Insignia with 750bhp from factory would be nuts lol
It would be, very much so. Thanks for commenting 🙂
Lotus carlton 💪
We love them too 😁
The RS Cosworth was a rally car and is what you were driving . The RS 500 was named due the homologation numbers not BHP and built by Tickford . The RS 500 is a completely different animal and the legend your referring to in this video . Not the car your driving . E reg 500s and D reg 3dr Cossies .
Thanks for the comment and your thoughts on the cars. It's comments like yours that will help us grow 😊
Hello, rusty. Thank you for your comment. My understanding is that the Cosworth was built for European Touring car regs with the help of ex M-Sport empoyees. I don’t see how Ford could have possibly thought it could have been a rally car (although it was raced here and there) when 4wd had already changed the game by then.
@@TimSmithWordSmith That could well be right , i don't know anything about the European touring cars really and dont think i have even spotted 3drs in touring cars in pictures over the years but will definitely be looking into that as your always learning especially when it anything over the pond . Colin McRae's farther Jimmy McRae was the guy i remember in the blue/white stripped 3dr from the lombard RAC rally era .
A guy i met called Brian Betteridge won the British rallycross championship years ago in his rwd RS 1700t . Everything he beat was 4x4 ex group B rally cars . RWD is amazing in the right set of hands ;)

My old RS500 ......

still have a white one now but in storage along with my E3o M3 :) was lucky enough to have brought them both at their cheapest moments in time . I couldn't afford either if i didn't get them years ago .
Cosworth was £17 grand new and in 1990 a lotus was 50 and this mug puts them against each other 🤣
Hi, thanks for your engagement, we appreciate your thoughts. Remember, this was like a dream, so really anything can happen in a dream.
Lotus Carlton is just miles ahead in every department. I absolutely love all cosworths, but I'd never take any of them over a LC. And should do some research on cars you're driving aswell sir, no cosworth left factory with 500hp. This really just tells us that when you were growing up you were never a Cosworth fan or you'd know a bit more about them, especially what kind you were actually driving!!
Hi there, thanks for your comment. In the video, it was stated that the engine was capable of that power output but ultimately was reduced due to other mechanical considerations within the R&D phase. However, we are always happy to receive comments that we can learn from as a channel and we hope that you enjoyed the episode including the many other episodes we have.
What stupid sepia filter is that? Would have been a decent watch otherwise.
Sorry you didn't like the filler, it was to give it some feeling of old. How would you have edited this episode? We do appreciate your feedback ☺️
Very fifth gear.. I like it!
Hi Sam, thank you very much for the comment 🙂 we are glad you enjoyed it, remember there is loads more to watch on the channel.
