Overview

For more than six decades, Cosworth has stood as a byword for engineering brilliance and motorsport triumph. From the revolutionary DFV Formula One engine that transformed the sport in 1967, to the flame-spitting Sierra RS500 and whale-tailed Escort RS Cosworth that ruled touring cars and rally stages, the Cosworth name became inseparable from performance, precision, and victory. At the heart of this story lies the remarkable partnership between a specialist racing-engine builder and one of the world's biggest automakers. Together, Ford and Cosworth democratized speed, putting world-class technology in the hands of privateer racers and on the driveways of enthusiasts. Along the way, Cosworth expanded into IndyCar, endurance racing, and later into aerospace and electronics, carrying its ethos of no-compromise engineering across industries. Cosworth Confidential: Ford's Fastest Badge is the definitive narrative of this partnership and its legacy. Packed with detail, it follows the journey from Mike Costin and Keith Duckworth's London workshop through decades of victories, innovations, and road-going legends, right up to Cosworth's modern ventures. It is the story of a badge that redefined motorsport and left an indelible mark on car culture worldwide.
