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.

Damn it! Might've missed it because of all the commas in the title.

I agree, the creator of the original thread may wish to sort out that title.
