They were developed to win world rallies and were awesome cars, extrememly short wheelbase for nimblesness, 1500cc TURBO producing 180-200bhp and weighed NOTHING. Won a few events but were overtaken by the arrival of 4WD GroupB specials.
The car was more close 1400cc. The Maxi was almost 1600cc.
RWD beasts for that amount of "cc's".
