The 10 tastiest hot lead from the ’80s

Yes, the 90s were fun, but the party began already ten years earlier. Zestienkleppers and turbos, inventions that in the eighties large were made by cars like the Renault 5 GT Turbo above. And that took out the list once, you need to consider!
Last week told @nicolasr you why the nineties such a great time. In terms of music, but especially in terms of Hot Lead. When it comes to music I agree with him, but the heyday of the nimble hatchbacks were really the ’80s. Built in the years ’70 a hot hatch by simply a thick engine in a small car to hang out, in the ’80s there was plenty of experimentation with four valves per cylinders and turbo’s. In the nineties were the cars, although more horsepower, but they were also heavier and less pure. These are the real bombs, which concerns me.
Volkswagen Golf II GTI 16V (1986-1992)
The Golf II GTI was with 112 hp are not very well endowed. The Golf II was more aerodynamic than its predecessor, but also a bit heavier. That vermogensprobleem was resolved by the number of valves to double from eight to sixteen. The 1.8 16V was good for 129 hp, but it seems that even a Golf 1.4 CL harder went from about 16V-badge. In 1989, the GTI G60 with 160 hp, the Opel Kadett 2.0 GSi 16V from the reply, the applicant had to serve.
Opel Kadett 2.0 GSi 16V (1988-1991)
When Volkswagen zestienkleps went, could Opel, of course, not to be left behind. The 2.0 and ended was in the Kadett GSi hung and was good for 159 hp without a catalyst, and a still fine 150 hp with. Volkswagen had anyway back to the drawing board.
Ford Escort RS Turbo (1986-1990)
In the years ’80 began more and more manufacturers the turbo to discover. Not only glacially slow diesels a little more spice to give, but initially also to rapid variations of everyday models. Ford didn’t understand it, just mounted a turbo on a zestienhonderdje and spooned the 132-horsepower-strong result in the nasty Ford Escort RS Turbo.
Renault 5 Turbo /Turbo II (1980-1986)
I have even doubted whether they are in the row belongs, with its mid-engine, this is bombs, of course, of a very different caliber. On the other hand, it is also no homologatiespecial as the Delta S4 or 205 T16 which but a few hundreds of copies are built. Renault knew in total, namely a not laudable 3576 copies of the Turbo and Turbo II build. The first series is the begeerlijkst, as Renault for the Turbo II more by default R5-components is going to use in place of the aluminum parts of the original Turbo. Of successor Supercinq appeared at the top of shown GT Turbo, but that had been block back to the normal place.
Lancia Delta HF Integrale 16v (189-1991)
Also Lancia did it with the zestienkleps party, though it was also the old achtklepper all that rappe 16V-boys too quickly. The 185 horsepower of the Integral 8v were more than sufficient to the slightly higher weight to compensate. With eight valves came to the power at 200 hp, good for 220 km/h and 0-100 in just 5.5 seconds!
Honda City Turbo II (1983-1986)
In our country, the Honda City was sold as the Jazz, but this snazzy Turbo II version we got never. Where your Renault actually the regular Turbo over the Turbo II will, is that Honda has been reversed. Both have the 1231cc measuring viercilindertje from the ordinary City/Jazz, the with additional turbo up to exactly 100 pk kicks. The Turbo II has, however, a delicious bodykit that entry in this list legitimizes.
Peugeot 205 1.6 GTI (1983-1992)
While Opel, Volkswagen and Lancia for sixteen valves choose and Ford and Renault turbos, prefer, depends, Peugeot very individualistic a larger engine in the 205. The 1.6 GTI kicked it up to 105 hp and from 1987 to 115 hp, but the 1.9 GTI was 128 hp. Unfortunately dropped that later, back to 122 hp, thanks to a catalyst. But why does 1.6 up this piece? Because the sixteen hundred what is better to the rpm hangs, while the 1.9 a bit more relaxed character. Those 15 inch Speedlines of the 1.9 you can on your 1.6 GTI mount, and the handy harry’s have been replaced, also the drums of the 1.6 behind for the drives of the 1.9. The real cost-GTI-shoppers seek their way to a 309 GTI…
Daihatsu Charade GTti (1987-1993)
Perhaps not the most appealing car of this list, but it is one of the most affordable. Daihatsu did her best as much as possible technology in a small car to cram, 993cc measuring driecilindertje has both a turbo, four valves per cylinder and double overhead camshafts. The result is 101/105 hp (again, with or without a cat) at a car weight of only 844 kilos, which is enough for 0-100 in 8.2 seconds.
Fiat Uno Turbo i.e. (1985-1991)
It is not so much the 106 hp from its 1.3 with IHI Turbo that the car has a place in this list do deserve it, but especially the ease with which the block is allowed to tune. The turbo was originally on a maximum of 1.0 bar to work, but that was to increase reliability rolled back to 0.6 bar maximum. The cubes can the 1.0 bar, however, even 1.2 bar would be without too many problems, so the power up to 150 hp can be raised.
Dodge Omni Shelby GLHS
Also @willeme does a coin in the bag with this hot hatch in our country is always forgotten. Not entirely correct, because with 175 hp out of a 2.2 with a turbo he rides pretty much everything from this list search. 0-100 does this American Talbot Horizon in 6.5 seconds, the top is 209 km/h. Only 500 copies of reels of the band.
