Merkur XR4Ti
The Merkur XR4Ti, introduced in 1985, was a rare Ford-backed import that flaunted a bi-plane rear wing and distinct European styling. Its design included a 3-door hatchback body with a triple side-window profile and a bi-plane rear spoiler, contributing to its rally car appearance. Powered by a turbocharged 2.3-liter inline-four engine, the XR4Ti offered performance reminiscent of European sports sedans. Despite its exotic looks and performance capabilities, it was priced below many contemporary pickups, making it an accessible option for enthusiasts seeking a unique and sporty vehicle. (hagerty.com)
