That is quite interesting. Not sure if that's down to the safety features of the 197, or the engineering marvel of the 80's

Not that amazing really, as the 2009 car wasnt around all those years.

Id be more amazed if you KNEW 27yrs ago.

Random fact number 2.

The Sierra Cosworth made 204bhp, which was ridiculously powerful at the time for a 2 litre.

BMW's 123d makes the same power from a 2 litre diesel.
