The Appeal

The Nissan Pulsar GTiR is one of the great homologation specials of the early 1990s, a compact, turbocharged, all-wheel-drive machine built to satisfy Group A rally regulations. Increasingly scarce and highly sought after, the GTiR has earned a devoted following among Japanese performance car enthusiasts, and good examples are becoming harder to find.

This Swedish-registered example has benefited from a restoration in 2010 and extensive further modification and refreshment in 2024, covering engine ancillaries, bodywork and interior. The turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder last produced 276 bhp on test. Showing 59,500 km, this GTiR presents a compelling opportunity for fans of rare Japanese performance icons.
