Brought to the UK in 1992, this updated Corrado boasted new features, amongst them a new 2 litre engine. Because UK emissions regulations were tightened in August 1992, the 2.0-16v was fitted with a catalytic converter to help meet these lower emissions standards. Power output and top speeds didn't differ much from the 1.8-16v, however torque increased.
Corrado 2.0-16v was in production from March 1992 to June 1995
