They basically turned the Group A race car version of the Sierra Cosworth and made it into a civi prop version.

No, they did it the other way round, the Group A rules at the time said that they had to make 500 evolution models of a standard production model ( The Sierra Cosworth ) and develop them further for racing, and Ford did add the extra air intake in the front and the secondary rear wing on the bootlid, as well as tune the engine to produce 227 hp.
Group A rules meant that the road car had to look identical to the race car.
