Remember Nissan's heyday when they were making exciting cars? Other than Skylines and Silvias they were also once very much into the hot-hatch game too, and this uber-cool Pulsar is an example.
Built in 1992 as a homologation model for Nissan to compete in the FIA World Rally Championship, the Nissan Pulsar GTI-R has attained cult status among us car enthusiasts simply due to its insanity.

Really, there's no better way to put it. It's madness, that's what it is.
In a car that weighs almost nothing, Nissan put a 2.0-litre SR20DET (the T is for turbo) that makes 227 PS and 280 Nm in it - numbers that certainly belie its rather unsuspecting exterior.
Power is sent to all four wheels via a five-speed manual and it will rocket you to the century sprint in just 5.4 seconds. Pin the throttle and Nissan says you'll get to 232 km/h.
If that doesn't sound thrilling, I don't know what is.
Price of admission for this pocket rocket is RM 75,000 and with that, you'll get lots of period-correct bits like the Momo steering wheel, Nismo gearknob and OZ Rally Racing wheels.
If you can - grab it while it's hot. After all, when do you think you might come across another one?
