Minardi also used re-badged Cosworth engines until 2005. Williams began testing the new CA2006 2.4-litre V8 in November 2005, which produced about 755 bhp @ 19,250 rpm (314.7 hp/L), [24] and began using Cosworth V8 engines for the 2006 season. In the same year, Scuderia Toro Rosso used detuned V10 engines based on the 2005 units.
The Cosworth ED (also called the Ford ED) was an eight-cylinder naturally aspirated engine designed by Cosworth for Formula 1, which was used at the beginning of the second 3.0-litre era from 1995 to 1997. It was purely a customer engine for smaller teams and in this function replaced the HB used until 1994, to which it was technically related.
One of the most successful and longest-lived projects of Cosworth has been its Indy car engine program. In 1975; Cosworth developed the DFX, by destroking the engine to 2.65 L and adding a turbocharger, the DFX became the standard engine to run in IndyCar racing, ending the reign of the Offenhauser, and maintaining that position until the late 1980s.
In Formula 1, no engine comes close to matching the success of this 3.0-liter V-8. The engine was so good it became critical to the success of the sport; F1 might not have survived without it.
In 2010 Cosworth returned as the engine supplier for Williams and three new teams; Hispania Racing, Lotus Racing and Virgin Racing. The CA2010 is the same 2.4-litre V8 base of the CA2006 used by Williams, but has been re-tuned for the then-mandated 18,000 rpm limit required on all engines, down from its original 20,000 rpm implementation.

Variants of this engine were also used in other categories of racing, including CART, Formula 3000 and sports car racing. The engine is a 90°, 2,993 cc V8 with a bore and stroke of 85.67 × 64.90 mm (3.373 × 2.555 in). It reliably produced over 400 bhp, specifically reaching 408 bhp at 9,000 rpm, and 270 ft⋅lbf (370 N⋅m) of torque at ...
Cosworth initially developed a 1.6-litre three-cylinder prototype (one-fourth of the Valkyrie's V12 engine) to make the combustion system hardware, which on its own was good for 250 hp (186 kW; 253 PS). The engine ran on Cosworth dynamometers within the first four months of beginning the project, so once the first V12 was tested after 14 months ...
