XUD11

The XUD11 was available in two displacements: * — XUD11 A naturally aspirated * — XUD11 ATE/BTE turbocharged Both were 12-valve SOHC engines with a stroke. The naturally aspirated ''XUD11 A'' was bored to for a total displacement of , while the turbocharged ''ATE/BTE'' versions were reduced in bore to for a total of . The BTE engines used a Lucas EPIC (Electronically Programmed Injection Control) fuel pump, whereas the ATE engines used a Bosch injection pump with a throttle cable.
