Cosworth can call that engine whatever the hell they like. It's theirs, Ford sold the Cosworth company. |

In case you did not know, it was the part of the company that they had shoveled money into for decades for engine developement. Go check the history. The Brits have an odd way of selling things off, as the people who thought they bought Rolls Royce found out when they could not use Rolls Royce engines, as that was not part of the sale. |

I did make one error; Cosworth engineering now belongs to Mahle; Ford bought Cosworth racing.

It's a little bit irritating but both parts are doing engineering... therefore a short history of the company: Back in 1998 the former Cosworth company was sold by VICKERS Group to the AUDI Group and splitted in two parts: Cosworth Technology and Cosworth Racing. AUDI kept Cosworth Technology and FORD took control of Cosworth Racing. By the end of 2004 Cosworth Racing was sold to Kevin Kalkhoven und Gerald Forsythe, the company now is named Cosworth Ltd. And in 2005 Cosworth Technology was acquired by MAHLE from the AUDI Group, the name was changed and is now trading as MAHLE Powertrain...
