In 1970 a new Taunus, the Taunus Cortina (TC), was introduced.
 Ford offered a two- or four-door sedan or a five-door station wagon/estate (identified like previous Taunus estates as the  Turnier).
  Between 1970 and 1975, for the first Taunus TC, a fashionable fast-back coupé was also included in the Taunus range.

This model also formed the basis of the Cortina Mk.
III, but with different door skins and rear wing pressings from the "coke-bottle" styling of the Cortina.
 In addition, there was never a Cortina III equivalent to the fast-back bodied Taunus TC coupé.
 The Taunus TC and Cortina Mk.
III were both developed under the auspices of Ford of Europe, and most major components including key parts of the bodyshell were identical.
