Eventually, this basic configuration was punched out to make the rally-specific homologation 130 RS, and one-off 1.8-liter OHC 180 RS and 2.0-liter OHC 200 RS specials.

After a production run of ten years, production of the 110R Coupé ended in 1980. During those ten years, a total of 56,902 110R Coupés were made.
