The 2005 season will see Ford-Cosworth continue their commitment to racing success as the sole supplier of engines to the 'Bridgestone Presents the Champ Car World Series Powered by Ford.' The series will continue to utilize turbocharged Champ Car engines at races around the world as the entire Champ Car grid will be powered by a redesigned and retooled version of Ford-Cosworth's race and championship –winning XF engine, dubbed the 'XFE.'
To comply wîth new Champ Car rules regarding horsepower and engine life, engineers at Ford-Cosworth made several performance modifications to the XF engine to create the XFE. The XFE engine is the fourth evolution in Cosworth's 'X' series of Champ Car engines that began wîth the introduction of the XB in 1992. Designed to produce between 700 and 750 horsepower, depending on circuit type, for upwards of 1,200 miles wîth minimal decrease in performance, the XFE provides Champ Car drivers a strong, reliable powerplant for their chase of the Champ Car World Series championship.
Ford Motor Company and Cosworth Racing enter 2005 lòòking to build on a winning heritage established throughout their 40-plus year partnership. The relationship between the two
companies was born in 1959, when two young engineers, Mike Costin and Keith Duckworth, for whom the name Cosworth is derived, recognized the potential of a new
passenger car engine developed by Ford of Britain. The duo was examining various production engine designs that could be the backbone of a single-seat racing series and quickly agreed that the new Ford engine offered the most promise. Thus began what many
regard as the most successful racing partnership in history, wîth Cosworth-prepared, four-cylinder Ford engines dominating many European series over the next several years, including Formula Junior, F3, F2 and several sports car series.
Racing has been not been just something that Ford Motor Company does. The passion to compete and be the best can be found in every car and truck Ford Motor Company produces.
