COSWORTH - Everything You Need to Know | Up to Speed

- Cosworth is solely responsible for arguably some of the coolest ever: the Ford Cosworth RS200, Ford Escort RS Cosworth, Ford Sierra RS Cosworth, the Mercedes-Benz 190E Cosworth, Chevrolet Vega, the freakin’ Audi RS4, and a long list of Cosworth powered racing cars from rally to Formula 1. So how in the world did a small British company establish itself as a performance powerhouse that is still working with companies such as Aston Martin, helping develop one of the most powerful naturally aspirated V12 engines ever?
Up to Speed is a weekly automotive history show about the best cars, brands, designers, drivers and influencers ever. Host James Pumphrey covers everything from the Toyota Supra to the Chevy El Camino, The VW GTI to the Subaru WRX. The origins of every car will be uncovered to get you Up to Speed..

Because of the “authentic footage” my two-year-old really enjoyed this video...well done
Yeah and it's at Paul ricard
Billy Lawrence because of the authentic footage my 42 year old dad of 3 girls really enjoyed this video lol mostly him and the crew laughing lol
KB’s RS200 is so sick and can be seen often being daily driven around my city (Park City)
@James Bond hit a blunt and chill. Peace
wholesome
I feel like James' imagination makes life harder for the editors.
That imagination is what makes the show great tho
It for sure does
The RS500 had a second, deactivated, injector bank and you only had to change a switch in the ECU and it instantly made like 400hp
that made me giggly wow
Yeah this was deactivated in the civil models. A second set of injectors was available for when, inevitably, Ford would go racing.
If schools had teachers like James, noone would ever miss the lectures.
Love you James, you're the best.
big fax
So I have a theory:
When James had his heart attack, he actually died. However, Audience Member knew that Up to Speed wouldn't be the same without him, so he journeyed into the depths of hell to recover James' soul. He made a deal with the Devil, sacrificing his own soul to revive James so that he could continue making amazing content.

A: you have to much time on you hand
B: you took too much acid

C: I approve of both of these statements
Dude that's deep
Thanks for your sacrifice Audience Member.
I think we need to spread the word. #rememberaudiencemember
That exclusive F1 footage was soooo damn real that i couldn't belive they let you use that! 😂😂😂
we can't believe it either
F1 in a nut shell aka not for normal ppl
Joe Sho but it’s completely authentic and not fake
Joe Alex It’s stupid how Anal F1 is about everything they touch.
@@racetracknerd9484 yeah, I could never figure out the reasoning there... wasted opportunities and years, sad.
That footage was so damn authentic... It really felt like I was there. I miss those days, everything is so fake now
someone get this guy on rick and morty for an interdimensional cable episode
Yado good idea!

Editing team when James was going over the authentic footage: “Damn it”
aw s##t here we go again
James' energy level is so high, I can charge my phone just by watching him.... and maybe also my tesla. Damn! He broke my ramcharger too with all the LIGHTNING LIGHTNING LIGHTNING
Smart
This is big brain time.
LIGHTNING LIGHTING LIGHTING
big flex
@@beeter3588 Oof all the lightning busted my ramcharger
Everytime The RS200 comes up I remember that accident in Sintra (Portugal). A friend of mine went to see the rally with his friend and his friend's mom. The three of them were among the people hit by Joaquim Santos' Ford... My friend was the only one that survived.... Cheers from Portugal
cheers buddy!
The Cosworth Escorts and Sierras of the late '80s and early '90s were just incredible cars.
Hi Donut Media I work for Cosworth in Northampton! Love the Episode and love the Up to Speed series! Keep it up 👌
Dream job
I wish I could live in NorthHampton because of my name.
Screw driver and 5 minutes is all you need to nab one.
@@nathanielhampton2559 do it then
How'd you get the job seriously I'm curious also what do you do exactly
Missed the opportunity to refer to them as “Buff Ducklings”, Pumphrey
pretty good
Donut Media that’s a L for you
@@craigbureygoingtowardsthedream one teeny, tiny l in a huge, colossal ocean of W's tho!!!!!
Please find mo powa I miss him.
@@jakebailey5033 too...
Dude I absolutely loved this video, love the antics, loved the information, and impressed by how much you know about British fords, and of course COSWORTH, great job.👍
Probably one of the most successful engine builders in motorsports ever. Besides the DFV, its been in so many different cars and brought them success. And Cosworth is designing the V12 engine for the McLaren F1's child, the T50.
Gotta love James and his sheer intensity
I believe you meant insanity
@@avnersehgal6435 no intensity
@@avnersehgal6435 Why not both? :)
@@giantrobot9000 intense insanity
Density.
Donut isn’t Donut without James
Btw: Where the hell is the guy that says “Mo powah babeh”
I know where is that guy?
I'm worried the heart attack might have got him... That's how D.I.D. works isn't it?

Watching this video workin on my audi made me feel a little better thanks James much love dude
“What an amazing race, what authentic footage” 😂😂
Dutch grand prix at Paul Ricard. I'd pay anything to watch it
"Buff, yet intelligent" horses. Best joke in this episode for me.
And the jokes are plentiful
I just want to thank you so much for these videos, the last few months have been really rough for me and the positivity you share in your videos gives me something too look forward too at the end of each and everyday. James you are a pinnacle in making learning about fast cars fun and comedic, also thank you too nolan and all the other guys and girls that create this awesome content! Youve inspired good energy everywhere
Should do an episode of up to speed on the Ford Falcon! Legendary series of utes and sedans to come out of Australia. Nothing better than the Ford vs Holden, an xr6 turbo is something to behold.
Last time I was this early, James' father was just walking out the door

You know when “audience member” comes back, he’s gonna wanna tell us all about what he did. I can’t wait😁
Ah, rest in peace audience member
@@4storyboss you take that back!
He's just in the fricking toilet, pooping.
Emiliyan Yankov even if he is, he is still somehow going to make that great
I wonder what car he’ll be dropped off in
This was one of the first Donut episodes I ever watched and couldn't get the audience member reference.. At the time, it (and many other gags) seemed soooo weird. Fast-forward 3 months, I've now watched nearly entire Donut opus and I'm coming back to this one and I just now realized the genious behind it. No other creative made re-watching their videos such a new experience for me. :)
Thank you James, your work is truly inspiring and your dedication is contagious. Just.. thank you.
Pretty crazy how much I love cosworth. The getaway from Stockholm video with the escort cosworth and the supra was one of my favorite videos of all time, sound track to my child hood and I fell in love with the rs cosworth. Now that I’m older the cosworth Mercedes are easily some of my favorite cars.
Can we have an Up To Speed on Jim Clark? That man was a friggin' legend.
Yeah, they should do that. People need to know how awesome he is
In my book now one even comes close to Jim Clark
@@roblansley2190 And no one ever will come close. Clark was a beast. Back when Formula racing was coffins on wheels.
Agreed, alsoDan Gurney, he was a beast
we need a "past gas" episode on him
I see a “Dole fresh vegetables hat” is that the new sponsor???
Making good choices James!!!
#nomorenosenergyforjames
Does Dole sell vegetables? Only remember seeing their stickers on bananas
@@zachallen7092 they sell juices too
When NOS energy drinks actually aren't giving any energy you realise eating fruits will 😄
What's Nose Nergy?
Dole is the reason Hawai'i is a state of America.
You guys are an amazing team. I love all your videos!
The 1992 Ford Escort RS Cosworth is such a beautiful car! It would be the only car I would trade in a Subaru for. It's just fantastic
I think we need up to speed on Opel Kadett. When your hot hatch is leaving factory with name "Superboss" on the trunk you know that it's getting serious...
Hell yeah. And didn't Cosworth design the C20XE engine tgat made the Kadett mk2 so popular?
“Quack quack quack”
-James, 2020
Finally my 190E is being mentioned in up to speed
😍🥰
niiice caaaar
It's 5 in the morning here, and I am probably the only brony at this world that also owns a cossie; never, in my life, though both things could be merged together on a cars-oriented video channel for me to watch. You're awesome!
“Audience member”? I always thought his name was Mo, last name Powabebeh
The 60s look a bit different than I thought it did. Because this is genuine, authentic footage
I wonder how they convinced them to release the footage
the bit about dah outti awd quadrooooo and the build the car from the ground up hand gesture cracked me up so badly.
I was mainly watching the Hi-Lo videos but this video makes me want to see all the previous non Hi-Lo vids. keep up the good work, and shenanigans😭
this episode is pure gold
I sure hope James finds his audience member buddy guy, I miss his valuable input
Everyone is all worried about the crowd "mo power" James, I am just happy that James is back and hopefully he will take care of himself and taking it easy!!
Hey i have something to say to james if he reads the comments congrats on outliving the heart attack man im 18. I have stress and heart problems that forced me to drop out of school at 16 when i was rushed to the er 5 days in a week before my classes even started because i was bullied for my height i had blood gushing from my nose and my mouth and soon followed by a seizure and i had a heart attack on the 5th day for 8hrs so ik how much it sucks. Keep the videos rollin my man and good luck to the recovering
This is amazing. And by the way, that’s exactly how we talk in ol’ Blighty, absolutely nailed it old chap!! ❤
People: There's no such thing as a luxury muscle car.??
CTS-V: Hold my Supercharger.
The CTS-V is a sports/performance-oriented mid-size car. Just because it's American and has a V8 doesn't automatically mean that it's a muscle car. Same goes for Chevy Lumina SS, Pontiac G8 GT/GXP and Holden Commodore SS.
@@MDDeGrande1994 i lowkey always thought of high performance mercedes being perty damned close to a lux muscle car. With the Cedes Mclaren being the closest
@@TheDarkPacific High performance Mercedes cars are just sports/performance-oriented luxury cars (especially the AMG versions). The ACTUAL muscles were only AMERICAN (NOT Australian NOR German let alone Japanese) and stopped being produced in the early 70s. Meanwhile McLaren cars are exotic cars (i. e. GTs, supercars, hypercars and megacars, although McLaren never actually produced megacars).
@@MDDeGrande1994 i should have said german muscle lol. And yeah we all know that. I said closest thing. And the Mercedes Mclaren SLR is more Mercedes than Mclaren.
Hellcat, Zl1 , gt500 all made this generation some of the greatest muscle cars ever.
They almost had me with the dutch f1 footage if it wasn't for the mountains in the background.
One of the best episodes so far
your videos are an inspiration! just love it and happy to see the skyline make it in the video lol
YES YES YES.. I'VE BEEN WAITING MONTHS FOR THIS!!!
Now just do Prodrive and this channel is complete
Or tickford, I remember a 3.8 tickford turbo ford Capri... 1980"s... But that's a bit too specialist
@@blackcountryme or the Tickford Ford Falcons
Barra and Nascar engines
I’m so glad he mentioned the Valkyrie’s N/A V12
So does the Subaru Cosworth STI
Two Ford engines
Though it makes ONLY a 1000 hp, with the other 132 hp from an electric motor. Still way more than impressive though !!
Great video. Keep up the good work.
18:19 one of my all time favorites also Mr. Pumphrey! Had a poster of that exact black road version all thru junior high and high school. Looks so sick!
James: minute long "authentic footage" with pirates
Also James: minute long search for audience member
Also also James: can't talk about the wins, not enough time.
That's what you call *PRIORITIES*
If they indeed talk about the wins, it would at least take an hour to explain each win.
Whereas the inside jokes is easier and less time consuming
why do you think he didn't have enough time
Damn James you too talented.....
Welcome back
Wikipedia.org. There you will find a complete list of all Cosworth racing wins in chronological order. You can yell out “lightning” or “mo powah baby” occasionally while reading them. It will almost as if James is there in the room with you Cody.
@@bwgti How do you know my bedtime ritual
Why am I so emotionally attached to "audience member"?
My dad and his mom shared a cosworth Vega. He liked it a lot. Didn't seem that bad considering the 120hp dual cam 4cyl escort was only 5 years prior. We went through the whole 80s with the anemic 3rd gen Camaro that didn't even match the numbers of the 2nd gen until the 1993 4th gen came out. So it really wasn't that bad, just disappointing that it was intended to be closer to 200hp.
The interior of the cosworth Vega has to be the loudest 70s styling of any production car with that gold hammered style dash that probably has some fancy name.
Every time i see the up to speed intro with the buff horse pulling James on thr drive in movie screen, i think of the song wild horses couldn't drag me away.
Ford: "we don care how much it costs. Cos worth it!"
Dam punners
Hahahahaha
CRINGE!!!!!!!
Can we get a “MOE POWA BABY” for the missing Audience member
Mo powa babi
MOE POWA BABY!
Mo Powa Baby!
Moe Powah Babeh!
MO POWAH BABY!!!
thumbs up for the exclusive real footage
You can actualy see the refinement on that RS2000 that James is talking about at 9:49. The damn trunk doesn't line up with the rest of the body :DDD. Huge fan guys ! Keep it up, I love this channel ! MO POWAAA !!! And james, please, less powaa baby !
Damn James I love you. Seeing you energetic gives me some of that hype. So thank you for your contribution and to all the donut media member and the Editors (they make it so good to watch)
That Aston at the end takes the cake. As if all Gearheads didn’t already love and respect cosworth.
I literally love these guys
I love watching old BTCC videos. The Sierras were fire belching monsters. it was weird to see them racing on the same track as Vauxhall Astras.
I had a Ford Escort as my first car, absolutely loved it. I’d love to get a cosworth someday
Me too. I had an 89 model 1300. Then an 87 RS Turbo, then a 93. Always wanted a Code IS but back then in 2005 I wasn't paying 15k for a bloody escort?! NOW they're $120000 for a good one 😣
F$&k yeah !!!!!me too I had a 1990 baby blue two door paid 2000 in 1998 got it from moms friend and it was the only person that would let me have a payment plan 50 dollars week two months after paid it off blow it up poured gas in the carburetor come to find out it was the fuel filter that went so that was the life of my b$&@h blue lol
“Wish we had Cossies” says every American ever
302 Racing I’ve never said that.. and I’m full blown murican
I wish we had cossies.... Oh hey, pentastar, LS, coyote, ....wait we did get a cossie... The cosworth Vega.
Agreed
@@jonotwist Not true it wasn't a full cosworth only the head and it wasn't that great..
Sounds like a very europeran thing to say. 😆
Great video.. The black Sierra RS 500 is damn near automotive perfection in my book..
Drove my E190 2.3-16V Today for the first time. I'm a believer as well.
FINALLY, the Cosworth episode. Thank you donut!!! what a way to start the year and the decade .
Atomic Playboy good video for a guy that has a dad with 3 cossies
I've had the pleasure of hearing those vintage F1 cars in person at a Masters race... Dear god headphones don't do it justice, Hearing a 3L v8 hit 11k rpm is surreal. If you're even remotely close to California, the Monterey Motorsport Reunion is worth whatever it costs you to get there.
I love this channel so much
Great video - subscribed
I cant feel my legs I watched this sitting on the toilet I might be losing my job too
nice
Kid: what's a cosworth?
Me: BOYYYYYY
Me 3 years ago
Can anyone put into words why we love listening to this dude say words? It's like, addictive.
Honestly this channel kicks ass
I'm happy that james is back but I kinda miss the audience member :(
Love you guys.Im watching from Bosnia and i am 11 my dad always ask's me how i know so much about cars and i always show him this channel.
Nice👍
I am jut so god damn happy that up to speed is back. my empty void has been filled, and i am satisfied.
I love the Sierra Cosworth, hopefully one day I can get my hands on one
"Real footage from Dutch GP" drives on Paul Ricard
James know's the art of being funny and weird at the same time..
This episode is real art!
Brilliant video! My dad had a white S1 Sierra Cosworth when I was a kid…..
Last time I was this early .. I still had a relationship with my father
Wait a minute...
Hold up...
You had a relationship with your father
I don't know if it is doable, but I would like to see an episode of "Up to speed" on Initial D to talk about the Japanese car culture in the 90's and all the Motorsport references that are in it.
Annie Belanger that’d be badass
@@RossMKF1 Indeed, I think it would be
Annie Belanger lets hope your comment gets up there!
@@RossMKF1 I cross my fingers xD
@donutmedia
Being from UK I was a teenager in the 70s so I remember a lot of this stuff & all of the 80s stuff I ust to follow the rac rally all over UK group B was amazing & in 86 I remember walking into ford dealer ship in Banbury Oxfordshire & seeing a rs200 in moonstone silver in the showroom I think it was £17.000 at the time I cauldent buy the wheels the car was stunning to look at but even though I grew up around all the ford cossy & group B rally this was such a good video loads of cossy history I dident know so well done a wealth of car knowledge 👍
17:48.. you made my day,... the love of my life, a Peugeot 205! Man that thing went like a rocket! I miss my 205.....
Plz do one on the Offy.

Not gonna lie I'm watching this high right now and damn. You are literally blowing my mind by how well your describing this. Thank you so much!!!
Greetings from germany Best Series on CZcams ive ever seen
i miss that “audience member” too. Its not the same without him
He's somewhere. I miss his stupid, dumbass, too. We'll find him. Maybe he just needs some time alone. Maybe he feels abandoned since James' heart attack. Maybe it scared him and he doesn't know how to cope. People react in weird ways. I'm not going to judge him. I'm going to welcome him back with a big hug. And then we'll go buy him some Sudafed, the good shit. What I don't like though is people saying, R.I.P.
@@jgreenjeans which episode where he was missing
@@mrnuisance456 have you find it yet? I havent watched donut for sometime n I came across to watch this vid n hes just suddenly missing lol
What’s the song?????
The Sierras (along with the Skylines) are almost single-handedly responsible for the modern day V8 supercar racing in Australia. The Sierras were so fast when they brought them over in the late 80's early 90's that the local built cars couldn't compete... so they created a new class only for V8's... and left the Australian touring cars for the imports. Of course, no-one in Australia gave a crap about those (from a marketing perspective) and the V8 Supercars became the biggest domestic racing competition.
I love cossworth engines forever. Because, this is the hell on the road! Thanks cossworth.
Love you guys & the info that you choose to put out on YT! The animation of “real footage” had me rollin’!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So funny you guys! Keep up the good work.
"so authentic FOOTAGE"
My first car was a Sierra XR6 (South African modified from factory with a 3.0L Essex V6) my dad gave me when I turned 18. It wasn't a cossie, but man it was awesome.
When I was growing up, my friend's Dad was a Ford exec in Dearborn, MI and had a Merkur XR4Ti in the mid to late 80s. The thing was a SVO and GT Mustang killer!
No foxbody Mustang will beat a Cosworth Ford
The Sierra cosworth would eat an XR4Ti! 💯 facts
It’s a shame the USA never got the Sierra or escort cosworth’s, such reliable and tuneable cars. They was made to be boosted!!!
