Cosworth is a British automotive engineering company that was founded in London in 1958. Mike Costin and Kevin Duckworth formed the company to “make a living messing around with racing engines.” Cosworth launched their first engine for Formula Junior just a year after their initial launch, claiming their first victory only a year later.
Over the last 60 years, the brand has been specializing in high-performance internal combustion engines, powertrain, and electronics for automobile racing (motorsport) and mainstream automotive industries. Cosworth has enjoyed a long and well-respected career in Formula One, which began back in 1963. Cosworth’s 176 wins make it the second most successful engine manufacturers in Formula One, after Ferrari.
Cosworth pistons are one of the best pistons you can put in your engine when building a high-performance race engine. Cosworth engine components are world-famous for their racing heritage and reliability. By utilizing the same design methods used in their Formula One pistons, Cosworth has created a piston built to handle extreme abuse and conditions. Forged from high-grade aluminum, these pistons include anti-scuff skirt coatings, super-strong pins and polished tops with anti-detonation bands producing a lower level of friction, unrivaled strength and impeccable sealing abilities.
The piston is one of the most important components within a vehicle’s engine. Using the latest advanced technologies, the highest level of quality materials, and settling for nothing less than perfection, Cosworth has created a piston that exceeds the demands of high-performance racing engines. With full traceability from the raw material stage to a finished product, every Cosworth piston is produced to the highest quality and then laser etched for ease of identification. Cosworth rigorously adheres to ISO9001 and AS9100 quality standards and operates a fully audited supply chain. The brand also offers NDT and CMM inspections in-house.
