The GTI version of the Citroen Visa was presented at the 1984 Paris Motor Show. The PSA group was therefore enriched with a new GTI, after the Peugeot 205. With the 205 the Visa shared the 1580cc XU5J engine with 105 horsepower, which allowed the car a top speed of 188 km / h. In July 1986 the power was increased to 115 horsepower, and the bodywork received "115cv" side lettering and new upholstery fabrics. Production of the GTI stopped in 1988.
