Spotted Sierra RS Cosworth - March 30, 2008 09:59 pm UTC
I saw a blue car, with a spoiler half way up the window. I was racking my brain trying to think of what it was. Was thinking Nissan GTI-R, but after searching pics on the internet, I'm convinced it was a Cosworth.
It was sitting outside Le Skratch in Oshawa and it had Magnus stickers all over it. It wasn't in the best shape. Has anyone else spotted this car around?
Were they sold here?

Could've been a Merkur XR4Ti. They're pretty much to a cosworth what a talon is to an eclipse.
Cosworths I don't believe were sold here but the Merkur's definitely were and I know the earlier models had the bi-wing.

MERKUR! thanks Kevin, I was trying all night to think of what it was called. I think that's what it was maybe.

Yeah, I wouldn't QUITE put it that way, Kevin. That's like saying our Focus is the same as the Euro-version. The Merkur would have been seriously de-tuned compared to the RS Cosworth.

Fair enough. All the potential is there for a 500 horse rear wheel drive monster all the same.
