History and additional information

This 1988 Ford Sierra is a heavily modified rear-wheel-drive drag car, powered by a turbocharged 4.1‑litre BMW V8, paired with an 8HP70 8-speed automatic transmission.

According to the seller, this is a long-time project used as a summer daily/drag car. It runs on gasoline (400 kW at the wheels) or an E65 ethanol mix (570 kW at the wheels). The V8 swap is registered on the documents. The seller describes it as having solid engine mounts (no rubber bushings) and minimal sound insulation, so engine vibration is felt through the chassis until the turbo kicks in. The seller warns that the car demands full attention under boost.

Performance figures stated by the seller: best drag time 9.96 s at 231 km/h (1.60 s 60 ft, distance not stated), best half-mile speed 285 km/h, 0-100 km/h in 2.9 s and 0-200 km/h in 7.5 s (with the right tyres).

The seller may consider an exchange for a mint 1st or 2nd-generation Ford Escort.
