And would it not be good marketing for both companies if they used the Cosworth name on that car? They Used the name on Mercs.
Not an argument, just wondered what peoples opinions are?
I agree it would be good for both companies and ultimately great for the enthusiast however I personally feel that Ford are currently focused heavily on the ST branding which ensures that all profit and development costs are kept within the group.
I do not see Ford wanting to share large sums of money with a company which is not part of the company or cutting margins enough to competitively price a next generation Cosworth
Ford still have access to the RS brand which has a decent image and I expect any enthusiast car will simply wear that badge, if they cared so much for Cosworth why did they sell everything they had to do with it ?
