Merkur XR4Ti and Ford Sierra RS Cosworth: Ford's Most Perfect Mistake — Revelations w/ Jason Cammisa
The Merkur XR4Ti was an award-winning, turbocharged home-run for Ford in the 1980s — until it landed in U.S. dealerships with a thud. How could this have happened?
The XR4Ti was the German-built turbocharged, 4-cylinder version of the Ford Sierra XR4i — a futuristically styled, rear-wheel drive sporty coupe. With more power and more refinement than its European-market sibling, the Merkur was the better car.
Conceived by the legendary Bob Lutz, the brand-name "Merkur" was chosen so that the XR4Ti (and later Scorpio) could be sold outside of the U.S. Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury dealerships — to compete against the E30-chassis BMW 3-series, the Audi 4000 and Coupe, and the W201 Mercedes 190E.
It easily outperformed them all, using a revised version of the turbocharged 2.3-liter "Pinto" 4-cylinder also seen in the Mustang SVO, Thunderbird Turbo Coupe, and Mercury Cougar XR7. Mated to a 5-speed manual, the XR4Ti out-accelerated the contemporary Ferrari 308 GTB Quattrovalvole and won over car-magazine editors.
But not customers. And the reason? Ford Corporate didn't listen to Bob Lutz (always a mistake) and gave Merkur to its existing Lincoln-Mercury dealers, who were unequipped and not incentivized to sell the small, expensive European premium coupe. Customers hated the dealers, and, well, the XR4Ti didn't sell.
Meanwhile, in Europe, things got even hotter when the lineup grew to include the Ford Sierra RS Cosworth. With a Cosworth-built aluminum DOHC 16-valve head on a 2.0-liter version of that same Pinto block, it made 204 hp (metric; 201 SAE hp) and left everything for dead — including and especially in various Touring Car Championships. The final homologation Evolution model (the RS500) is, by at least one measure, the most successful race car of all time.
And yet we never go the RS Cosworth in the U.S., partly because of how poorly the XR4Ti sold.
This is the history of the short-lived Merkur brand — and how a poor dealership experience can ruin even a great car.

Totem Automobili GT Super: a twin-turbo V-6 670-HP Alfa Romeo | Henry Catchpole - The Driver's Seat
In this new episode of The Driver’s Seat, Henry Catchpole gets behind the wheel of the incredible Totem Automobili GT Super. At first glance you might think this is just an Alfa Romeo Giulia GT restomod - a refresh and update of the ’60s original. But with a carbonfibre chassis, carbonfibre bodywork and a unique twin-turbo V6 engine form Italtecnica, this is basically a brand new car. In Porsche 911 terms, think Ruf rather than Singer.
And just as fascinating as the car, is the person behind it; Riccardo Quaggio. The young, 29 year-old designer has built the company from the ground up, starting with very little money and a warehouse given to him by his Grandfather. He started in 2018 and it is remarkable to see how far he has come. He has aspirations of Totem Automobili one day being talked about in the same breath as the likes of Pagani, and on the evidence of the GT Super we wouldn’t bet against it.
To really put the car through its paces, we went a couple of hours north of the factory in the Veneto region of Italy up onto the beautiful Vezzena pass. With a fabulous mix of fast, flowing bends and tight, twisty corners it was the perfect setting. The car’s manual gearbox and 670bhp going to the rear wheels mean that the driver is kept very busy, but the R53 dampers and double wishbone suspension are on your side.
A quick shout out to Glenn Winhall (ably assisted by Daniel Pendlebury) on this film as he really pulled out all the stops. If you noticed something particularly delicious about some of the visuals it’s because he used anamorphic cinema lenses for a number of the scenes. Something that we hope you’ll agree was worth the extra effort.
If you enjoy the film then do please think about subscribing to the channel and giving this a thumbs up or leaving a comment. And if you’d like to clink on the following link for the Hagerty Marketplace, then that would also really help us: https://www.hagertymarketplace.com
