This riveting book takes you on a journey through the evolution of hot hatches, starting with the trailblazing Volkswagen Golf GTI, known as the original hot hatch, and moving through the realms of engineering excellence and rally-bred performance with icons like the Honda Civic Type R and Ford Focus RS. Each chapter dedicates itself to a legend, including the Peugeot 205 GTi with its unmistakable French flair, the legendary Renault Clio Williams, and the compact yet fierce MINI Cooper S. Discover the Italian charm of the Fiat 500 Abarth and Alfa Romeo Giulietta QV, the premium allure of the Audi S3, and the rally spirit of the Toyota GR Yaris.
