STORY

The Sierra replaced the Cortina, and sales began on 15 October 1982, and the car was shown at the British motor show that month. Its aerodynamic body had a drag coefficient of 0.34, against about 0.45 for the Cortina. The RS Cosworth followed in 1986, and the four-door Sapphire saloon arrived in 1987, and the RS500 followed in 1987 as a limited homologation special for touring car racing. European production ended in December 1992 and the Mondeo replaced it in 1993.
