Found probably the first rival, it was supposed to be out this year but its always been delayed. if i remember correctly the old spec`s were a 2litre turbo engine with 4wd producing no less that 300bhp!

Rally Breeding Proves Cossie's Class


t's the most famous name in rallying, and one that sends fast Ford fans into a frenzy of excitement - so it's no wonder the blue oval is so keen to bring back the Cosworth badge. Having decorated the bootlid of some of the most desirable Fords ever built, the Cosworth tag has become a byword for big wings and mighty performance.

The new model, due in 2006, looks set to repeat that formula, and is certain to draw its design and engineering inspiration from Ford's high-profile new World Rally car (right). And while the exact look of the Cosworth remains a mystery, it's a safe bet the new machine will be one of the wildest cars on the road.

yep its been in the pipeline for years though! by the time its out i feel that if quattro GmbH do build a RS3 that they would probably be out in the same year and go head to head! [img]images/graemlins/1syellow1.gif[/img]
