A 1984 facelift saw the Ritmo's styling become more restrained and a hot hatch version - the 130 TC - was added, with a 2.0 L engine capable of nearly 120mph. It was sporty-looking and huge fun to drive but not an ultimate hot hatch in the same vein as the VW Golf GTI. A sedan version, the Regata, was also launched without great success outside Italy. The Ritmo Cabriolet was launched in 1983 but low demand saw production end after just two years. It was better value for money than a Golf Cabriolet but not up to VW standa ...

The Mk 2 Astra used the same range of engines and running gear as the Mk 1, but with a completely restyled body with much better aerodynamics. A new GTE using a 2-litre fuel injected model was also introduced, and early models of these featured an all electronic dash with digital speedometer. This was largely received as a gimmick, and later models reverted to traditional analogue instrumentation. A special twin-camshaft version of the engine was also developed and a high performance version of the GTE was created around it. This engine deve ...
