About the Ford Sierra RS Cosworth Moonstone Blue AUTOart 1:18
TL;DR: AUTOart's 1:18 diecast Ford Sierra RS Cosworth reproduces the 1987 turbocharged homologation special in Moonstone Blue, complete with the towering whale-tail rear spoiler that made the car instantly recognizable. A mid-tier diecast built for a Cosworth built to win touring car races.
Ford built the Sierra RS Cosworth purely to satisfy motorsport homologation rules, and the road cars it produced ended up defining an entire era of European touring car racing.
AUTOart's Diecast Detailing on a Homologation Icon
The Sierra Cosworth's whale-tail spoiler is the single detail that most defines its silhouette, and AUTOart's diecast needs to get its mounting height and blade angle correct, since even small deviations change how aggressive the car reads from the rear three-quarter view. Moonstone Blue is one of the period-correct factory colors for the Cosworth, and it needs enough depth under direct light to distinguish itself from a flatter, more generic blue. Zinc alloy construction gives the hatchback real heft, and the wide box-arch fenders that housed the car's wider track are worth checking against the standard Sierra's narrower body for accuracy. Panel gaps and hinge quality at AUTOart's typical tier should hold noticeably tighter than entry-level competitors.
Why the Sierra Cosworth Still Matters to Collectors
Ford needed to build a minimum production run of the Sierra Cosworth to qualify a race-ready version for Group A touring car competition, and the road car that resulted carried genuinely serious performance for its era, including a turbocharged engine and aerodynamic aids rarely seen on a mainstream Ford. The car went on to dominate touring car racing across Europe through the late 1980s, a competition record that gave the road car lasting credibility well beyond its unusual, boy-racer reputation at launch. For collectors of homologation specials, the Sierra Cosworth sits alongside other era-defining cars built for the same reason.
Positioning the Cosworth in a Homologation Collection
This model pairs naturally with other 1980s homologation specials, where its whale-tail spoiler stands out even among a shelf full of similarly purposeful cars. Keep it out of prolonged direct light, since blue paint can shift subtly over years of sun exposure. At AUTOart's mid-tier pricing, it delivers the kind of panel and livery precision that a car defined almost entirely by its aggressive aerodynamic details genuinely needs.
