        The RR bit is the engine code
        Apart from the Sports (KW), the ur 20v`s were all RR engine codes.

          But RR's are basically 3B's.

              Agreed - they are essentially one and the same engine apart from some different brackets for alternator and/or aircon - or is it the hydraulic pump. Whatever. The ECUs are coded differently but they are transferable no problem as the loom is identical. SOmeone once told me that a stock RR will make 220bhp on 95RON fuel but that the 3B needs 98RON to hit its factory spec of 220bhp - dunno if thats true...

              If I had to buy a UR - it would be the RR - no doubt about it... Cos its last in line, has the best engine of the three types - tunable mightily in software. Has the Torsen centre diff and best brakes (including 269x20mm rear vented discs) of them all. Ignoring the Sport here - which is a god awful ugly thing to look at - in road going trim at least.

                As far as I know it is, you can just make it out stated in this article (in the comparison table);
