Wolf Escort Cosworth '1994

'In the name of Wolf'

In my A-list there will be always listed many Cosworth creations, i.e. Ford's, MB 190 2.3, RS4 etc. These magnificent wolfcars are finetuned by strongly motorsport oriented company that was founded in 50's by Keith Duckworth and Mike Costin. In my mind the name Cosworth is always linked mostly to certain Escort and Sierra models. Ford owned the company for a while and Cosworth name appears in their rally inspired special models. Although, Sierra was the 'first' Cossie and has one of the most modern looks of it's era, the white-blue and Repsol coloured Escort rally weapons of the 90's are the ones for me. Maybe Mr. Kannkkunen stole my heart back n the days?

This story is about German based Wolf tuning company's (also known as Walter Wolf Racing) tuned Escort Cosworth. Wolf offers various tuning parts for different Ford models and Wolf Escort Cosworth is somewhat a regular model containing various Wolf tuning parts. Although, Wolf Escort is not really an limited series or special edition, like Brabus or Alpina it has gained mystique reputation in Ford forums and as the 'Wolf' appears in the name it needs to be introduced here. Actually, I don't know many Ford tuners, instead some UK based, but none of them offers comprehensive tuning kits or virtually reproduced Fords. Maybe Wolf offers the dopest conversions? Least Wolf uses the same manufacturers with their pits and kits as the Ford to keep quality in proper level and tuning pits are also sold through the Ford dealers. So basically customers are able to choose only some Wolf parts for their cars instead of complete packages. Above I have listed specs of the complete Wolf Esco Cossie.
