From 1967 to 1983, the Ford Cosworth DFV engine reigned supreme in Formula 1, powering cars to 13 Drivers’ Championships in just 16 seasons. Grand Prix Ford dives deep into the remarkable story of this revolutionary engine and the powerful partnership between Lotus, Ford, and Cosworth that brought it to life.
Written by the late Graham Robson — one of the UK’s most respected motorsport historians — and inspired by a concept by fellow historian Anthony Pritchard, this book captures the DFV’s dominance with clarity and authority. It’s not just about engines: it’s about the people, the teams, the victories, and the evolution of a motorsport legend.
- Tracks the DFV's development from Lotus's exclusive use in 1967 to widespread dominance across teams like McLaren, Matra, and Williams.
- Includes technical insight into engine design, performance advances, and the role of specialist rebuilders.
- Analyzes rivalries and resistance from Ferrari and others — and why they couldn’t hold back DFV-powered teams.
- Explores the DFV’s legacy through its turbocharged and evolved descendants: DFX, DFY, DFZ, and DFR.
- Features over 300 rare and archival images, many from Ford’s own historical archives.
For any reader passionate about motorsport history, Grand Prix Ford is the definitive tribute to the engine that powered a golden era. Get under the hood of Formula 1’s most iconic breakthrough.
