This classic 1980s hatchback, with its rally-inspired design and iconic features, has taken the internet by storm, evoking strong feelings of nostalgia among car enthusiasts.

This 1980s rally-inspired hatchback, finished in White Pearl with effortlessly cool tinted-glass electric windows, has sparked nostalgia among motorists. Featuring a grey-black dashboard, two beige cushioned seats, and a fully carpeted floor, it wouldn't look out of place in a classic 80s movie.

The model, born in the golden era for homologation specials – rare, high-performance cars made to meet motorsport rules – is revered for being the affordable alternative to the original turbocharged version. It still retains the performance and excitement of its more expensive counterpart. With flared wheel arches and an angry stance, this car screams 1980s from the bonnet to the boot. It packs a punch for a classic car, boasting a rear-drive setup – a feature where the engine powers the rear wheels. This proves the rally style isn't just for show, as the engine is capable of delivering 160 horsepower to the rear wheels. Its mid-mounted, turbocharged 1.4-liter engine is fitted at the back of the rear seats. This old-school hatchback has just celebrated its 41st birthday, having left the production factory in 1984
