3 Best Hot Hatches That Are Now Forgotten!

We're shining a light on three incredible hot hatches that time has almost forgotten. First up is the Mazda 323 GTX, a rallybred beast with a turbocharged 1.6liter engine and allwheel drive. Only about 1,243 of these rare gems made it to the US. Next, we have the Mitsubishi Colt GTI, a pocket rocket that proved Japan could build hot hatches to rival the Europeans. It boasted up to 136 horsepower and could sprint from 0 to 62 mph in about 9 seconds. Last but not least, there's the Talbot Sunbeam Lotus, an underdog that became a rally champion. With its powerful 2.2liter Lotus engine and lightweight body, it even won the 1981 World Rally Championship for manufacturers. These three hot hatches might not be famous today, but they each left their mark on car history.
