Ed Cole was the designer of the Chevrolet Corsa and Monza Corva, and a key player in the development of the Cosworth Vega.
You know that after the engine, air cooled engine Corva and primary aluminum engine. But Cosworth Vega?
When the Chevy Corva was canceled after 1.6 million 1960-69 cars, Ed Cole and others in your team need another sub-compact replacement for Corvo, Vega. Vega is designed in two years, beginning in 1968. How Corvo, Ed Cole stressed aluminum engine, this time (unlike Corvo) is all aluminum. Like Corvo, Vega was the main purpose of entry of Japanese and German imports of VW, Opel, Datsun (Nissan), Toyota and the economy in the 70s was the problem. Published in 1971, Vega was sold for around $ 2000 and over 400,000 were sold in 1974. Motor Trend Magazine named "Car of the Year." In 1974, Vega has tarnished the reputation of its tendency to Roya away, and the engine block of the division of about 50,000 kilometers. Previous owner said: "I had a 1972 Vega. My family struggled to buy a car for me, as well as their contribution to college when I went to the school. I loved the car. He was energetic and excellent Great for students. Years later, the car just died. aluminum engine block was broken in the heat. qaluli could replace the engine, but the lack of resources, as I sold junk. automobiles two years I returned to the court, and rarely came to school.

Chevrolet, with the hope of saving Vega, decided to create a true sporting event in 1975-76 (exactly 10 years after it was made to create a true sporting event Corva Corva Corsa!) Was Cosworth.
1975 Chevrolet Cosworth Vega was driven by double overhead cam, fuel injection and complex Bendix years before his time. Most cars today are, but not after. Only a combination of colors available: black with gold PINSTRIPING. Only 2061 were built in 1975, the cost of a $ 5916 fine - more than double the rate for the regular coupe and Vega only $ 400 less than the corvette!
Cosworth of England, with experience in competition, designed, 16-valve, 2.0-liter engine is estimated at 110 horsepower. Others continued with the 1975 Chevrolet Vegas 78 or 87 hp. Each machine is made by hand, and any car that had a series of production.
Cosworth Vega and other improvements and adjustments, not non-Cosworth Vegas. Cosworth caused some excitement, but the car is expensive, and the reputation of the Vega was in poor condition, so not sold as Chevrolet Cosworth planned or expected, only a total of 3500 in late 1976
Like the Corsa, which has resulted in consumer confidence through advertising was a true performance sports car wise Cosworth followed the same pattern. Both seem to sports cars, the Corsa more. However, the specifications indicate otherwise, Cosworth is 0-60 mph in 8.7 seconds, with a maximum power at 5600 rpm, the weight was 2700 pounds. Corsa 140 hp when it comes to running the same 0-60 mph in 9.7 seconds, reduces its weight is 2,400 pounds. Both vehicles are energetic, but certainly not Muscel car. Both lasted only two years (but the Corva continued until 1969, Corsa was stopped after 1966).
