New for 1992, the Vizzuri Flume: A small hatchback with lightweight perky performance paired with great MPG figures. The F2R trim grade was top of the model range, intended for the new WRC F2 class revealed for 1993.
Homologated to the regulations, it has a naturally aspirated 1996cc I4 making 161hp straight to the front wheels only. Weighing in at 996kg it achieves a solid 0-62 in 6.5s, and can speed all the way up to 142.4mph. With aero focused on extra cooling and downforce for reliability and agility as well as a semi-trailing arm paired to tuning, driving the Flume F2R hard into corners was easy to do, and a barrable amount of understeer or torque steer remained. The brakes were big and high piston front of 4 resulted in late braking being quite easy to lean into as well.
The inside was by no means luxury, having the bare basics in terms of radio cassette (likely due to the raspy note it made, who needs radio!) and a standard 5-seat layout. A manual 5-gear or electronic automatic 4 speed was available, with viscous LSD standard on the F2R homologation model.
Oh, you want a hot hatch? How about a rear-engined, rear-drive derivative of a Group A monster. Really only a liftback by technicality, because if you dare put your groceries into the trunk you’ll cook them on the turbocharged, air-cooled V4 H4. And this is just the lesser trim to fit into $21k - the full fat version would have had AWD and clutch diffs.
It looks more like a coupe than a hatch, even when taking into consideration the fact that it’s built on one of the Juliet bodies, but I’m sure it will qualify.
@Aruna you seem to have taken note of my preference for bright blue as an exterior color, so your decision to choose it for the Flume’s exterior came as no surprise. Speaking of which, when I was making the Vanga, I was all fine and dandy with 140 bhp from a 1.8L I4 - until I realized that the Flume F2R had 20 bhp more, so I went for a 2.0L I4 making 175 bhp, and paired it with a geared LSD for good measure. OK, so I had to use a 4-seat configuration and do without ABS or power steering (although the latter two are merely optional in the submitted trim), but I was still able to squeeze in a standard cassette stereo. Even so, it’s right on the price limit (and the engine is almost at the ET limit), but I’m sure it will pass inspection.
Based on the evidence we’ve seen, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Vanga and Flume were direct rivals - I can’t wait to see how they compare to each other!
The Vizzuri blue is just something that stuck when I was designing the cars for Letera History Challenge, performance wise I wonder the comparison, I’m not sure how it fares !
Not wanting to be later to the hot (or rather, lukewarm) hatch party than they already were, Korean budget car manufacturer Seongu decided to offer a turbocharged version of their 1.3l three cylinder 2nd generation Kando in the late 1980s.
A hot hatch designed to be both fun and comfortable. Equipped with a smooth and powerful 1.5L B4 turbo that makes 168hp. Power is sent to the front wheels via a 5-speed manual, allowing the car to achieve 0-60 in just 6.8s. Even with this powerful engine, The Sanda XR still averages a solid 28 mpg(US).
The interior is admittedly nothing much, but it does not cut corners. The Sanda XR still comes with 4 speakers and a standard cassette player. It also has good crash safety rating on top of having ABS. The XR trim also comes with wider tires (205/50R 15), and when paired with the Sanda's all-round independent suspension, it makes for a smooth yet entertaining drive.
What do you get when you let a crazy (but cool) bunch of adrenaline driven “scientists” in a room with a dull Compaq P ? Well, a really, really nervous companion. The 1.6L 4 banger revs up and up, produces nearly 129 hp. What do I hear ? That this is not sufficient ? Well, as one cool chap said, light is right. Indeed it is. Weighting less than 800 kg, this Compaq P knocks down the 0-100kph in under 7 seconds, and goes up to 200 kph and beyond. So come and get a taste of that EGP magic !
1992 Hawke GTH. The official car of European teenagers. Weighing in at 2600lbs and also having 200hp and RWD this little beast will fly through both corners and straights. Under the hood it’s got a single turbo inline 5 that’s quiet and still sounds good. The interior wasn’t all to bad, seating 4 people and having lots of cargo space covered up by a removable parcel shelf. It’s safe to say that if you want a brand new hot hatch this is your guy.
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out He's choking, how? Everybody's joking now The clock's run out, time's up, over, blaow Snap back to reality, ope there goes gravity, ope There goes Rabbit, he choked, he's so mad but he won't Give up that easy, no, he won't have it, he knows His whole back's to these ropes, it don't matter, he's dope He knows that but he's broke, he's so stagnant, he knows When he goes back to this mobile home, that's when it's Back to the lab again, yo, this old rhapsody Better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him, and

Newly updated for 1992, the Halvson Newton combines the best of compact motoring and raw fun. With comfortable interiors and a stylish exterior, you won’t be caught lacking in any aspect.
The Super Newton model is available with a 1.8L version of our venerable 4 cylinder engine, now outputting 91kW thanks to the inclusion of our EMi fuel injection system.
Results part 1
Sorry about the delay (IRL stuff priority + inefficiency + english hard = bad) Part 2 coming within 23 hours
Instead of just this annoying update, I’ll get the “bins” out of the way at least: 3 interesting cars, just with some Happy Little Accidents with the rules.
Looks and sounds good, and best in class for safety. But wait, it’s well over the noise limit. Silly bureacrats. It’s among the slower cars, and rather uncomfortable. “Binned” due to noise over 50.
An ambitious design with promise, lights look a bit flat. Fast, best reliablity and service costs, due to having an engine from The Future. “Binned” due to: Engine variant year 2012
Fast. Mean raspy triple, cool Italian/show car looks with the color scheme, wheels and wing. Staggered tires, somewhat unbalanced AIR suspension. Also a “bin” due to 2012 engine, as well as +rear seats
