Not actually that far off (incredibly):

I think I've seen a couple of fast Fords fetch over £100K too. A Sierra Cosworth and an Escort Cosworth (MK 5 with the whale tail on the back).
The RS500 only added 20bhp to the standard Cosworth, and still only managed 0-60 in 6.1 seconds, 0.1 seconds faster than the standard Cosworth at 6.2 seconds.
Of course, 6.2 seconds is the magical 220 Coupe Turbo 0-60 time (although some quote 6.3 or 6.4 seconds).
And the 220 Coupe actually still looks fantastic, whereas the Sierra Cosworth with its huge rear side windows looks like a hearse. Particularly in black. Given the way some people drive them, this may be of benefit as it can reduce funeral costs considerably.
