The XR2 model was thoroughly updated with a larger bodykit. It also featured a 96 bhp (72 kW) 1.6 L CVH engine as previously seen in the Ford Escort XR3, and five-speed gearbox (also standard on the 1.3 L CVH models). The engine was replaced by a lean-burn variant in 1986 which featured a revised cylinder head and carburettor; it was significantly cleaner from an environmental viewpoint but was slightly less powerful as a result (95 bhp (71 kW)).

This car has a special place in my heart, because it was the first and one of the very few cars I actually sat in as a kid. My godmother had a German (duh) one, which looked exactly like the one in the picture, minus the rally lights. It sounds pretty neat too.
