I think it was like the Capri, a more stylish body on the underpinnings of a cooking saloon. Only the most powerful versions got anywhere near the performance the styling implied.
The Fuego might also have struggled with delivering loads of power/torque via the front wheels without scrabble/torque steer. The 16valve BX GTi of the same era certainly did.
