The long version

Renault took its cheapest hatchback, threw out the back seat and the rear glass, and mid-mounted a turbocharged four where the groceries used to go — a homologation special built purely to win rally stages. The width alone announces what it is before the turbo ever spools, and the lag itself becomes part of the character once you learn to drive around it. Values sat flat for decades before climbing hard over the last five years, catching up to the Group B-adjacent reputation the car earned firsthand. Forbidden Fruit and Homologation Hero both fit; nothing else does a mid-engine hatchback quite like this.
