The "XR" stands for Experimental Racing. In the 1980's and 1990's, Mercury USA used the XR-series monikers for some of their uplevel cars, including the following:Capri XR2 Lynx XR3 Merkur XR4Ti Topaz XR5 Cougar XR7 Recently there was the Ford Falcon of Australia with their XR-6 and XR-8 versions. And they did have an old XR-1 in the land down under. That completes all numbers, 1 through 8. Cool, eh? Not all of the XR-series cars from the U.S. were performance oriented though. About the only things one can safely say about them is that they all had bigger rims and blacked-out window trim. But we know better when it comes to the Cougar XR7. It was the only true performance car in the XR-series in the U.S. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/17199-what-does-xr-actually-stood-for/page/3/#findComment-246938 Share on other sites More sharing options...
