As happened for the first two series, the Fiesta MkIII also had its sporty versions. The first to come out was, in 1989, the XR2i, equipped with injection and with a power of 110 horsepower. However, the brilliance of the engine was not accompanied by adequate development of the chassis and suspension. The XR2i was produced until 1992 and from 1990 was joined by an even more powerful 133 HP-Turbo version.
