Cosworth is the legendary name that powered some of history's greatest cars like the Lotus 49, the Ford Sierra Cosworth and the Mercedes 190E. They're a small company with a very strange philosophy when it comes to building engines. It saves them time, money and makes MO POWA BABEH! So how does it work? I'll show ya.

Fun fact - the Cosworth DFV has won more Formula 1 Grands Prix than any other engine!
There was a time in the '70s when every team but Ferrari used one.
70s F1 was practically modern moto2 but racecar
At that time, only Ferrari and Alfa-Romeo are the only ones that offer Flat-12 engines.
@Building on a Budget Models. Fun fact, you claim the only other F1 engine manufacturers in the 1970s were Cosworth and Ferrari, have you never heard of the BRM V12, the Matra V12 and the Alfa-Romeo V8 and flat 12?
@@jamesreynolds2867 that's not what I said - I said 'a time in the '70s' - in 1974, 28 out of 30 teams ran with Cosworth power. I forgot BRM but I didn't say that no other engines were used in the 1970s. Try to read a bit more carefully please.

"cosseh" - you've gotta have a stroke halfway through the word 😂
Cant get enough of top gear news complications, absolute gold 👌
I really admire Cosworth, I’m actually taking notes on their CA engine used in F1 in 2008, I want to build a high-power N/A V8 with a flat-plane crankshaft 🚗💨
Why na just use a super charger
Larger size V8s vibrate a lot... a LOT.
that spam profile is unironically asking the real question there lmfao
@@cameronknowles6267 I’m building a BMW V8, plan on keeping it at 4.5L so it can still rev high, a supercharger would give me good power all around but I don’t think it will fit with what I want to make of it.. it’ll have enough torque but I’m aiming for high power
Or you know
Just slap 3.4L Judd engine tuned to 12.000 RPM with 8-2-1 exhaust and commit full George Plasa
Fun fact:
Cosworth, when they were developing a 3L, 900hp, V10 F1 engine in 1999, made a mule 300cc single cylinder engine that made 90hp at 20 000RPM.
Naturally aspirated 300hp/L is wild!
Cosworth is like the main chipset in a mobile like qualcomm, the car brand names may change but cosworth is the reason for their game and performance ❤

Now, Cosworth, let Aston have that 3 cylinder in the Cygnet. I dare you.
@Gastón first it was Focus and now Fiesta?
Ford is discontinuing all hatchbacks stateside iirc
They're still being made for the European markets
@Gastón The most heritage-filled and revolutionary *CAR* company can't even be called a car company any more. It's at most a truck and SUV company for what has happened in US. What an absolute shame.
..in a Miata...
@@andrewwang8204 Agreed. I just got a used Focus ST a couple months ago, my first newer car that wasn't a 1k rust bucket and i was blown away. Even my friend who drives a bimmer 325 was amazed at the thing's capabilities. They knocked it out of the park with the fiesta and focus ST/ RS and now they're calling it quits.
Escort Cosworth has always been one of my favourite cars. Real interesting being brought up to speed on them.
One of my favourite builds that Cosworth got involved with is the 600+hp Subaru that they used to break the Isle Of Man lap record. I could only dream of owning a car like that. Looked, sounded, and performed phenomenally!!
"Created just to be thrown away." Welcome to R&D.
Y’all have no idea how many times I need to stop myself from completely killing my savings to go by Cosworth Vega’s ever time I find them.
I understand man stay strong
The 3 banger made me think of Koeniseggs biturbo 3 banger.... 600hp in 70kgs... mindblowing small engines like these are so awesome
Me, my dad and my grandad all have worked for Cosworth in Northampton England :)
hold up hold up.. cosworth makes a reliable 3 banger then takes another 1 for shared parts and makes a bigger motor.
MY MIND IS LITERALLY THINKING ABOUT A SUPRA MK5 FACELIFT. toyota already has a dope reliable 3 banger in the gr yaris, if they use this same philosophy they can make a better 6 cyclinder and won't be hated as much. and can laugh at bmw's face.
they could say something like "THE SUPRA COLLAB UHH THAT WAS JUST A TEST TO SEE HOW SALES WILL GO. NOW WE HAVE OUR OWN ENGINE AND WILL BE DISCONTINUING THE NON FACELIFT.

Now this video about Cosworth is giving me an idea for a series.
THANK YOU for covering the cosworth vega!! love mine :)
This is my favorite series. Keep up the good work!
Thank you Nolan
Lovin the content 🙏
Cosworth's development process reminds me of what GM did in developing the first successful mainline locomotive diesels: one cylinder test mules with switchable power assemblies. That was mainly to get the injection system and thermal design dialed in so it didn't have to thump along at essentially one low RPM like all other diesels of the day. GM ended up leaps and bounds ahead of everyone else building locomotive diesels.
At 4:39 it shows footage from the 1968 Warwick Farm International in Australia, a round of the Tasman Series. The Lotus used a DFW here, with the capacity reduced to 2491cc to fit in with the Tasman Series rules
I’m not turning left
I’m not turning right
But when i see donut
I GO STRAIGHT FAST

hahahahaha very funny! @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Oh man, sarcasm is the best
We need an Imperial update! Nolan...get Zach over there to help!
Definitely a company well known for their engines, would be awesome to see more of their designed worked in more vehicles overall.
The DFV was 3 liters, naturally aspirated, and reliably (for F1) produced 510hp. Over 50 years later, that's still insane.
Got my pop up up n down headlights hoodie a couple days ago, thing is legit af man super comfy and really well made.

Cosworth is just flat out amazing!
Love the way nolan tells These stories and sums them up in the end ❤
Thank you again for this awesome episode
Cosworth is so sick man. If I’m ever fortunate enough to own a car with a cosworth engine I’ll be hyped!
Vg
Cheapest would probably be an svt focus. 2.0 zetec tuned by cossie with a getrag 6 speed. I bought one for $800
@@bartleskeet1623 I don’t think cosworth had anything to do with the focus SVT? That was the Americans version of Europe’s focus ST (2.0 170hp) and cosworth had nothing to do with Europe’s focus ST 170. Cosworth fords in the uk are badged (Ford Sierra RS cosworth and the Ford escort RS cosworth.
@@bartleskeet1623 just checked it out and I was wrong bro cosworth did play a hand in the focus SVT engine. But it’s got to be cosworth’s least performing engine to date. Instead USA should of got the Sierra and escort RS cosworth’s back in the day!

5:12 second generation NSX engine block/crankcase. The large oval opening on the bottom right is where the high voltage electric cables attach for the crankshaft mounted MGU.

Another very informative video. Keep him coming. I'm becoming a hardcore donut fan.
Ahh yess! Wheelhouse
Image Cosworth would sell these mule engines directly as crate engines to the public. 250 HP 3 cyl. or a 330 HP 4 cyl. out of the box. This could be a complete game changer.
Back in 2014 Nissan made a 1.5L 3 cylinder turbo that made 400hp, only weights 40kg too. I think it revved to 7500, so alot lower then the Cosworth.
What if they turbocharged it aswell? A 3 cylinder powerhouse
HAPPY 5MILLION SUBSCRIBERS DOUNUT!!!!❤❤❤❤
Congrats for 5 mil subs!
My favorite engine company!! 😍
Watching the Historic F1 racing in Monaco over the weekend, there were two types of engines, DFV's and broken ones.
Totally agree about the 3 cylinder but also it would make an insane inline 6 also!
I love your videos so much :)
OOT maybe, when i was in college i failed CAD drawing class, but ended up being a tutor for 2 years in the same class😅 i got cosworth energy in me
Up to speed on the Citroen Saxo/Peugeot 106, the overlooked hot hatch?
In greece they are not overlooked at all,they are extremely Popular.
Ahh Cosworth
Both the name and the engines they made sounds cool
I really love it
It would be cool to see Koenigsegg's 3 cylinder engine as a V-12

Bj
It would make 2400 hp
Remember koenigsegg’s 3 cylinder engine has 2 turbos where cosworth’s is N/A. Cosworth could easily make that power and more if they chose too!! Cosworth is if not the best engine builder around
I own a escort cosworth, it was from my grandpa, that thing is fun as hell and sounds really good
I'm really jealous of you. I'd love to have one of those but they're not in America. Maybe someday I'll be able to import one

Cosworth is something else. I think they're a fine example of how out-of-the-box thinking and some brilliant minds can accomplish more than just throwing money at a problem. And that's not to say that their competition was incompetent or anything. Nissan knows how to build awesome engines, and yet they still sought the wisdom of Cosworth. That (and all that other historical stuff) says a lot.
I could only dream to be a minor insignificant worker at a company like Cosworth.
