Season Launch LOT 035 – Ford Cosworth CR 3.0L V10 Engine Table
One fortunate F1® collector has the rare opportunity to own this unique piece of furniture, crafted using a genuine Cosworth engine. Featuring the engine as the focal point, encased between plexiglass, this table feels as though it carries the echoes of the iconic V10, transporting its soon-to-be owner to a bygone era of Formula 1®.
This particular engine acts as a memoir, reverberating the story of the famous V10 engine family that dominated the sport in the late 90s and early 00s, both on and off the track.
Cosworth, Ford & Stewart – The History of the V10 in Formula 1®
Stewart Grand Prix, considered the Ford’s works team, utilised the Cosworth CR-1 engine from 1997. It was more light weight that the VJM and reached 770 bhp at 16,500 rpm by 2001.
The Ford Cosworth V10 CR-1 ran for the first time on a dyno at Cosworth’s Northampton base during the early hours of 18th December 1998. Days later, the engine was used for the first time in a car, when a Stewart-Ford SF-3 ran at Silverstone on 23rd December.
Over the years, Ford continued to increase its involvement with Stewart, which eventually led to the former buying out the latter. Ford then was renamed Jaguar Racing in 2000.
Despite the iconic brand, Jaguar, exiting F1®, the team continued to used Cosworth V10 engines until 2006, under their new identity of Red Bull Racing, the team we see on today’s grid.
There have been suggestions that the V10 could return to the sport one day. V10s were knowns for their high revs, power and a sound that would become undeniably F1®, before the current hybrid power units that are used today came into being.
Crafted into an F1® table
This striking table showcases a 90-degree Cosworth CR 3.0L V10 engine, crafted using the original block, heads and cam cover. As a display piece, the engine has been prepared without its crankshaft or internal rotating assembly, making it significantly lighter and easier for a collector to position and admire. It also excludes the water pump and oil scavenge pumps, allowing the sculptural form of the V10 to take centre stage.
The cam cover still bears its authentic gold insulation foil, a detail preserved from the engine’s working life on the racetrack. This foil was originally applied to shield the component from the intense heat radiating from the tightly packaged exhaust manifold running close by, offering a glimpse into the extreme engineering demands of Formula 1®.
At the front of the engine, the absence of its cover reveals the space typically occupied by the intricate geartrain responsible for driving the auxiliary pumps and camshafts.
This exposed view provides a rare opportunity to appreciate the underlying complexity of the power unit, an intimate look into the mechanical heartbeat of a legendary V10.
