05 / About

A small studio
with one obsession.

Vision148 was founded to build a single car — a definitive Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth — and to share its making with twenty-five custodians who care as deeply as we do.

01Origin

STARTED WITH A PASSION
to reimagine

The origin story of the Vision148 is inspired through exposure to some of the leading figures in UK automotive and motorsport and a collective passion to identify icons of the road and deploy artisan and bleeding edge technology manufacturing and materials into a unique showpiece.

The mission has never been to recreate the RS500. It's to imagine what it would have become if its bloodline had continued uninterrupted into 2026. With Al Yasid's vision blending heritage with modern design language, creating a silhouette that feels both inevitable and completely new. This is how legends evolve

02 / Principles

What we believe.

01
Heritage
We treat the RS500 as a cultural artefact — preserved, not modernised away.
02
Craft
Every panel, every weld, every fastener is documented, dated and signed.
03
Transparency
Custodians see the build as it happens. No press release surprises.
04
Restraint
Twenty-five seats. One car. No spin-offs. No tiers.
03 / The Roster

People
behind it.

The primary architects of the Vision148 project have been supported by unique collaborations from automotive and Motorsport with a singular mission to deliver and showcase the very best in coach building and bleeding edge technology manufacturing.
