We love hot hatches here at GRR. There's something so fun about adding some silly to a sensible family car and they don't get much sillier than when they're designed for racing.
Video: The seven best homologation hot hatches
Designed to tackle the world's rally stages, this selection of our favourite homologation special hot hatches varies in extremes, from a Golf that got a supercharger and an all-wheel-drive system, to a Ford Escort that wound up being the first production car ever to generate downforce. We challenge you to name a single one of these that's not awesome.
