Cosworth 4WD[1] is a Formula One car designed in 1969 by Robin Herd for the Cosworth company. It never participated in a race, as its primary purpose was for testing by Trevor Taylor and Mike Costin to improve the traction of cars powered by Cosworth DFV engines. It is the only Formula One car ever built by Cosworth.
