Inside the Nissan Pulsar GTI-R: Insane By Design

Hammered by Group A rules and regretted by engineers, the Pulsar GTI-R carried the same SR20DET 230-horsepower engine in a road-coupe package few outside the homologation world can identify. Only one podium ever came in WRC, at the Swedish Rally, and Japan renamed it under another badge when it crossed the sea. This is the program's boom and bust, the NSF backup wins, the privateer Group N success, and why the losing car still made history. No WRC victory claimed that the record does not support.
