=== Car Index (GT7) ===
Ford began their 1990s World Rally Championship (WRC) campaign fighting in the Sierra RS Cosworth 4x4. Then, in 1992, came the Escort RS Cosworth, a homologation special developed for even higher performance. 
The original Escort was a masterpiece in itself, having been widely used in rally races in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Years later, Ford Europe took the compact body of the fifth-generation Escort, installed a highly tuned version of the 4WD powertrain from the Sierra, and added a large dual level rear wing to create a fearsome race machine. 
At the heart of the beast was a longitudinally mounted turbocharged 2.0-liter twin-cam engine built by Cosworth, as per the car's name. The bore-stroke ratio was tweaked, resulting in 1993 cc of displacement and an output of 223.9 HP/219.9 ft-lb in stock form. For the 4WD system, the central differential utilized a combination of a viscous coupling and planetary gears or maximum reliability. 
The Escort RS Cosworth began production in 1992 and gained homologation status the following year when it began competing in the WRC's Group A category. 
The "Cossie," as fans called it, finished 1-2 in Round 3 of the Portugal Rally before going on to achieve two consecutive victories in Rounds 5 (Tour de Corse) and 6 (Acropolis). It won again in Rounds 11 and 12 (San Remo and Spain), solidifying Ford's reputation as a strong contender on the rally circuit.

==Trivia==
*It is the second car that despite its origins, is not American due to being right-hand drive, with the first being the Ford Sierra RS 500 Cosworth '87.
*The Type A rear wing in GT Auto is based on the World Rally Car-spec car; however, the corresponding front bumper is not available.
*A lower trim model of the Escort of the same generation, the Ford Escort 1.8 GTi '97, had been planned for inclusion in Gran Turismo 2, even receiving a menu panel in the demo disc versions of the Ford dealership, but was cut from the final game.
