The 323 hatchback might not be as famous as some of Mazda's other cars, but it still deserves recognition. The company built several sporty variants, including the GTX and the GT-R. Constructed to hom*ologate its Group A rally cars, they had turbocharged engines, all-wheel drive, and a great soundtrack.

These two Group A 323s were spotted during demonstration runs at a recent historic's rally event in Belgium. They have fantastic retro liveries, and make some lovely blow-off noises.
