At launch in 1984/85, claimed performance was 0-62mph in 6.1 seconds and 0-100mph in 14.5 seconds, which at the time was astonishing for a sedan. In fact, only a Porsche Carrera could match it. Such a car - a comfortable saloon boasting leather electric seats, loads of space, and a huge boot, with a 3.5-liter straight-six good for 286hp and 251lb-ft of torque - hadn't previously existed and was simply a 'brilliant recipe for a car.' Even today Harris says 'it still feels genuinely quick,' and who are we to argue?
