Audi have sold Cosworth

yep that right have sold COSWORTH engineering and not to ford either, so to all the ford boys that say cosworth was never part of the audi group read and weep, sorry a little dig at a mate there, not to upset anyone here

clicky here

 

True, but the fact is Cosworth will always be linked (for obvious reasons) to Ford

 

assholes! Went for a job interview with them and they never replied with a thanks but no thanks.

 

Anyone else think Mahle are putting pride in their brand ahead of common sense in ditching the Cosworth name?

 

Mercedes actually got in with Cosworth before Ford did with the Sierra but i believe snobbery on Mercedes part meant they didn't want a publicised link unlike Ford. Also the reason they moved production of the 2.5-16 engine in house unlike the Cosworth made 2.3-16.

Mine was just a random fact, don't get your knickers in a twist...

 

TBH I'm glad. Was talking with a few on this one recently and it wouldn't have been long before the badge appeared on an Audi, which would have been sooooooooooooo wrong.
