The 1991 Ford Sierra 3.0i RS (often called 3.0 IRS) is a very specific South African-only evolution of the Sierra — and a seriously underrated classic in today’s market.


Successor to the XR6
Built locally in South Africa (SAMCOR era)
“IRS” = Independent Rear Suspension
One of the last and most refined Sierra V6s
