Visually, it reminds me of the Pulsar/Sunny GTI-R, but is it turbocharged and AWD just like its namesake, or is it neither? At any rate, the only thing that could improve it would be a detailed interior, but given that so few interior fixtures have been ported over to 4.2 so far, it’s currently more of a nice-to-have feature than a must-have.

Yeah it is indeed AWD and its turbocharged, it has a 2 litre Turbocharged i4 making 280hp, that is 50 more hp than the original Pulsar GTi-R.

Formidable stuff back in 1992 - comparable to a contemporary R32 GT-R, and in fact it would be a few years before an STI or Evo would make that much power in real life.
With that drivetrain configuration, surely it has to be a Group A homologation special like the STI and Evo were? After all, on the outside there’s nothing to suggest that it isn’t.

1992 SAARLAND KOSMOS 2.0 SR
Just like its predecessor, the Adjunkt, the new for 1992 Saarland Kosmos had some performance variations, mainly the ES and the 2.0 SR.
The 2.0 SR was the “warm hatch” version. The 113 hp engine was the top of the range alternative from the sedan and wagon versions of the Kosmos, but in the hatchback you could only get it in the SR. Cosmetically, it had many similarities with the top of the line ES version. It had the “sportier” front end without upper grille but with larger bumper grille that incorporated foglights. It also had the wider front fenders, colour matched exterior plastic parts and 15 inch alloy wheels with low profile tyres that the ES had. What it didn’t have was twin tailpipes (but the single pipe was larger than on other trim levels of the Kosmos), neither did it have the front and rear spoilers of the ES.
Some parts were made of lighter materials (for example plastic or aluminium where you found steel on lower spec models), just like the ES, and the battery was moved to the rear for better weight distribution. It had sports tuned suspension, close ratio gearbox with “sporty” (but less economical) gearing, 4 wheel disc brakes, variable ratio steering rack and a semi clad undertray. What it didn’t have from the ES was a limited slip differential, and of course, the power output was lower. The steering wheel was the leather wrapped one from the ES, but it had regular cloth upholstery and not the half leather/velour trim from the ES.
Performance was adequate for its era and class. 0-100 km/h took 9.1 seconds and it had a top speed of 214 km/h. Quartermile was done in 16.86 seconds, 80-120 in 6.24. If you wanted to go faster, you had to go for the ES.

PZS Mistral 1.9 GLS
(the yellow one, I’ve realised I don’t have its front pic, so have a pleb non-GLS instead)
Big engine, small hatchback, so I guess it counts? 1976 Polish compact with an Italian 1.9 DOHC I4. 106 hp and 922 kg make it a frisky combo, with a sub-9 second 0-100 time. Too bad it has a solid axle in the back

Nice car, but group B was dead by 1990.

In that case it would be a rallycross car, hillclimb beast or even a Dakar Rally racer, as many real-life Group B cars ended up becoming after the category was abandoned.

Love the back window treatment

But can this still be considered a hot hatch when it doesn’t have one?
