It's hard not to be intrigued by even the unsuccessful homologation specials. Those cars that maybe didn't succeed on stage or circuit remain interesting purely for the intent they showed. Maybe a Nissan Pulsar GTI-R, Mazda Familiar GT-R or Citroen BX 4TC aren't the most decorated race cars out there, but they at least suggest there was once an ambition to succeed at the crucible of motorsport. And that's a cause we can all get behind.
The road car was a ripper; the 2.3-litre, 16-valve slant four was fully a litre larger than the engine offered in a standard Chevette, with 140hp. The suspension was uprated, as was the transmission, and, of course, the HS2300 received one of the most iconic cosmetic makeovers ever seen for a hot hatch. Who knew Silver Starfire and tartan would work so well? In 1980 Car Magazine rated the HS above rivals from Renault, VW, Peugeot, Fiat and Talbot in a hot hatch grudge match.
Great car for the odd B ROAD BASH . More fun than the new Yaris GR . This courgette is a car you actually drive raw , and you know you're driving it , it's very vicerol
