LEGEND: REDUX

SIERRA RS COSWORTH

Gluttony is bad for your health. It’s greedy to go back for seconds. However, sometimes a dish is succulent enough to warrant a return and you realise the ingredients have been tweaked to create an even more irresistible treat. Whatever your tastes, there’s something in Mark Hudd’s legendary ELE to whet your appetite and so we return, with camera and pen in hand.

Déjà vu strikes as we’re confronted by flawless Moonstone paint, Image split-rims and subtle RS500-inspired details; we’ve been here before, but all is not as it seems – the exhaust note and stance slightly altered, hinting at the major surgery that’s been carried out. Some readers will have grown up with Mark’s three-door, known as ELE, pushing 180mph top speed feats in the ’90s and over a decade ago. For others, this latest iteration will be their first introduction.
