The evocative XR6 badge joined the sedan-only S club, which was basically an XR8 fitted with a Tickford-modified 4.0L I6 engine.
Its power leaped to 161kW/365Nm, aided by a new exhaust and lower gear ratios.
The XR6 did not replace the cheaper 148kW/348Nm 4.0L I6 S model until the ED series arrived in August ’93. The S returned late in the EL’s tenure.
Standard features: ABS, LSD, power steering, alloy wheels, central locking, power front windows, power mirrors, upgraded audio, sports steering wheel, clock, front and rear spoiler and body coloured bumpers.
