Autocade is an inter­national car cyclo­pædia that’s geo­­graphically unbiased, carefully edited for enthu­­siasts and media who want a quick, accurate reference. There is a greater emphasis on models produced after 1970. Inside Autocade Ford Sierra RS Cosworth Ford Sierra RS Cosworth. 1986–8 (prod. 5,042, plus 500 RS500). 3-door saloon. F/R, 1993 cm³ (I4 DOHC). Ultimate Ford Sierra Mk I, with Cosworth-developed YB DOHC engine based on old Ford Pinto unit developing 152 kW. Tuned racing versions—based on RS500—with 410 kW (167 kW standard, the 15 kW due party to Garrett turbocharger and extra injectors). Developed for Group A motor racing, and highly successful; nicknamed Cossie colloquially. Manufacturing location: Genk, Belgium Marque: Ford | Model: Ford Sierra | Successor: Ford Sierra Mk II (Sapphire Cosworth) Changcheng C20R Changcheng (長城/长城) C20R. 2011–14 (prod. n/a). 5-door sedan. F/F, 1497 cm³ (I4 DOHC). Subcompact hatchback based on Changcheng Phenom, but with off-road pretensions, a popular niche in China. Attractive styling and roomy, with good level of standard equipment, though surprisingly poor performance from VVT 1·5. Sales peaked in 2012, and dwindled afterwards, with a small handful being sold into 2015. Manufacturing location: Hebei, China Marque: Changcheng | Successor: Haval H1 (2014–17) Holden Gemini (TG) Holden Gemini (TG). 1983–5 (prod. 24,675). 4-door sedan. F/R, 1584 cm³ petrol, 1817 cm³ diesel (I4 OHC). Equipment upgrades across range only, and introduction of sporting ZZ/Z model—a case of style over substance, as it was mechanically identical to lesser Geminis. Sales continued to dive as Holden awaited arrival of R-car replacement, though it did not stop the company selling a rebadged Nissan Pulsar (N12) in the meantime (as the Holden Astra) as it lost sales to Ford. Manufacturing location: Australia Marque: Holden | Model: Holden Gemini | Predecessor: Holden Gemini (TF) | Successor: Isuzu Gemini (1985–90)
