Ford brand famous for Mustang
They have made a variety of sports cars
3 Ford sports cars recognized as the best

America’s leading automobile manufacturer, Ford. The public has recognized this brand as creating vehicles anyone can easily access. Their reputation was built up through the history of mass production, and it is an image that remains effective in the American automobile market today.

The Mustang remains Ford’s sole sports-oriented model and enjoys widespread popularity. However, Ford’s passion for sports cars and motorsports has been consistent throughout its history. In this article, we will explore three iconic Ford sports cars from the past that are still celebrated as some of the best-made.

The Ford Sierra RS Cosworth

Sierra, a model released by Ford in the past, was sold from 1982 to 1994 through Ford Europe. Although American models are not currently making a big splash in the European market, Sierra’s popularity at the time was much higher than we thought. The most prominent feature was that it differentiated itself by adopting a European design not found in existing Fords.

Following its initial ventures, Ford developed a homologation sports car derived from the XR4i for touring car racing. This new model, the Sierra RS Cosworth, came equipped with an engine designed by the renowned British car tuning company Cosworth. A distinctive feature of this car is its prominent whale tail-shaped spoiler, easily recognizable from behind.

The Ford GT 40

Next is the GT 40, Ford’s most famous race car after the Mustang. Along with the Corvette, it represents the United States and is a legendary vehicle that won the 24 Hours of Le Mans four times from 1966 to 1969. It also appears in the movie Ford VS Ferrari and is shown in various media models.

It is known as a representative model of Ford along with Ford’s representative muscle car, the Mustang. Until recently, the Ford GT model was produced as a limited model. The most representative model, the 1964 GT 40, was equipped with a V8 engine, generating a maximum output of 485 horsepower. The maximum speed has been 320 km/h (199 mph), and reaching 100 km/h (62 mph) from a standstill is 4.3 seconds.

The Ford Probe

Probe similar to Japanese sports car design

The final Ford sports car we’ll discuss is the Ford Probe, which notably diverges in appearance from the previous models mentioned. The explanation is straightforward: it was developed using Mazda’s platform, resulting in a car that closely resembles Japanese vehicles in design and engineering. Initially intended to replace the third-generation Mustang, the Probe was met with significant opposition from Ford enthusiasts and Mustang fans alike. As a result, it was launched as a distinct model instead of the next Mustang.

It is a three-door liftback front-wheel drive sports car that did not achieve much success in the US due to its unusual driving method and unique design. However, it created its fan group and was only produced until 1997, after which it was discontinued.
