Naaah, My dad’s a BIG Capri Enthusiast. I’m thinking what 4 door’s said.

> The XR4Ti was distinguished mechanically by its turbocharged Ford Lima 2.3 L 4-cylinder SOHC engine and independent rear suspension and stylistically by its large bi-plane spoiler. It came with either the C3 3-speed automatic transmission or the T-9 5-speed manual transmission. Many felt it resembled the Ford Escort RS at the time, although the two were built on different platforms. Mechanically, it differed from the European model, which had a 2.8 L V6 unit.
