The final performance update arrived in the form of the turbocharged 132 PS (97 kW) RS Turbo model in October 1984. Using the same basic engine as the 1983 RS 1600i but with a Garrett AiResearch Turbocharger to give 132 bhp which remained unchanged throughout production. The RS Turbo Series 1 was only marketed in a few European nations as production was limited to 5,000 examples, almost all in white. They were well equipped, with the alloy wheels from the limited production RS 1600i, Recaro seats, and a limited slip differential. One car was finished in black; it was built especially for Lady Diana.[ The Series 2 RS Turbo continued with the 1986 MKIV model.
