History of the Ford Sierra

1987 Ford Sierra RS500

The Ford Sierra made its debut at the British International Motor Show at the NEC in Birmingham in September 1982, and it was immediately followed by the Salon de l'Automobile in Paris on September 30, 1982. Sales began on October 15, 1982, with the Ford Taunus TC3 being replaced (UK: Ford Cortina Mark V). Many conservative buyers (particularly business car owners) were turned off by the Taunus' aerodynamic successor's look. This was also due to the Sierra not being available as a sedan, in contrast to the Taunus/Cortina. This vehicle, along with the facelifted Sierra, was debuted in 1987.

After being accustomed to the Taunus/sharp-edged, Cortina's straight-line three-box style, many people found the design blob-like and difficult to accept, and it was called "the jellymould." Regardless, the design had a purpose, producing a drag coefficient of just 0.34, a significant improvement over the boxy outgoing 0.45 Taunus/Cortina's. This aerodynamic design, according to Ford, was crucial for reducing fuel consumption and was also used as mitigation for the V6 engines.
