In this episode of Vintage Car Chronicles, we explore the Mazda 323 GT-R, a rally-inspired hatchback built for Group A homologation in the early 1990s. With a turbocharged 1.8L engine and advanced all-wheel drive, the 323 GT-R became a cult classic for its performance and rarity, with only 2,200 units produced globally. Despite its understated design, it featured cutting-edge engineering, including a "big turbo" and unique viscous coupling differentials. Join us as we dive into its motorsport achievements, technical brilliance, and why it remains an underappreciated gem among enthusiasts.
