For just over 60 years now, British engine specialists Cosworth has been powering road and race cars. The company has 176 Formula One wins under its belt but has been entrenched in all sorts of racing since being founded in 1958 by Mike Costin and Keith Duckworth. The name Cosworth comes from is a portmanteau of their names and both were formerly with Lotus. Cosworth maintained a close relationship with Colin Chapman at Lotus for a while and initially only built engines for the British road and race carmakers.
