British have Xr3s XR4s Americans had Cougar XR7s in the 60s as well.

phantomxrt Member 27 Member For: 21y 4m Location: Sydney Posted 26/04/05 12:27 AM Share Posted 26/04/05 12:27 AM Spot on. XR is a generic Ford brand nomenclature which is applied globally to performance marques periodically. EXperimental Racing was indeed it's origin.

Ford Grunt Member 159 Member For: 22y 2m 28d Location: Newcastle Posted 26/04/05 04:07 AM Share Posted 26/04/05 04:07 AM Ive always thought it was a kick back to the first real Ford Falcon performance car the "XR" GT. Meaning that the car would have performance origins dating back to he XR. A cue that Ford wanted to to insert after the boring no v8 days of XF-to EA. (But hey I could be totally off the mark or could be shear coincidence).

CrankyBen Member 37 Member For: 20y 8m 2d Location: Canberra Posted 26/04/05 05:42 AM Share Posted 26/04/05 05:42 AM This is one of those burning questions... other ones include "What does GLi/SS/XT/MR/etc etc etc stand for...?"They're letters I'm sure Ford marketing has come up with some drivel about what they stand for, and I would hazard a bet that the letters came before the meaning.
