| Additional Info: The XR3i was preceded by the 1981-1983 carburetted 96bhp XR3 (0-60 in 9.2 secs) and also ran along side for a while with the RS1600i (see below). The 1986 facelift Mk4 was slightly heavier and slightly slower (0-60 in 9.5, 1/4 mile in 17.2). The 1992-1993 Mk5 was again heavier, available with the 105bhp engine and a 130bhp version which brought performance back to 0-60 in 8.5. |
