Vaughn Gittin Jr. explores Ford classic cars in Cologne | Corpus Christi | McGraw Ford
In a captivating exploration of Ford's automotive heritage, Vaughn Gittin Jr. takes us on a journey through the storied past of Ford classic cars in Cologne, Germany. This exclusive tour, set in a secretive location at Ford of Europe, unveils a treasure trove of iconic vehicles that have shaped the brand's legacy. From the 1972 Ford Capri RS, a European counterpart to the Mustang, to the revolutionary Ford Sierra Cosworth RS and the rally-bred RS200, each car tells a unique story of innovation and performance. This collection not only highlights Ford's rich history in motorsport but also draws connections to modern-day models like the EcoBoost Mustang and the globally popular Ford Focus RS.
The Ford Capri RS, introduced in 1972, stands out with its V6 engine and distinctive matte black hood designed to reduce glare during high-speed driving. This Group 2 road race car features an impressive wide-body design with 14.5-inch rear rims and 11.5-inch front rims, complemented by a rear-mounted radiator and oil coolers. Moving forward in time, the Zakspeed Capri captivates with its lightweight design, weighing around 2,200 pounds, and a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine producing approximately 500 horsepower. Its 19-inch rear and 18-inch front wheels emphasize its racing pedigree. The 1986 Ford Sierra Cosworth RS, with its 2-liter turbo engine and over 200 horsepower, showcases a Recaro interior and a design ahead of its time. The RS500 variant, a motorsport legend, features a fully caged interior, center lock wheels, and an engine capable of up to 600 horsepower. Lastly, the RS200, built for Group B rallying, embodies Ford's commitment to racing, with its turbocharged four-cylinder engine and advanced features like anti-lag and launch control.
