I owned the March SuperTurbo in Gran Turismo 2, and it was a quick little car. When fully tuned right, It kept up with V8 sports cars with 300+hp (Corvettes, SVT Mustangs, etc.). Even in stock form, it kept up with several larger 1.5 to 2-Liter FWD cars (Civics, Neons, etc.), especially in the corners.

I think this JDM Hot Hatch deserved to stay in GT, but it was removed in GT3. I would love to have the March SuperTurbo back for GT6 or even GT7.

Yes, it's was a very fun car to drive, along with Toyota Starlet Turbo '86 it has give me the gold in many races in GT2

March Super Turbo vs Starlet GT anyone?

 

[GBalao888]

It's supercharger and turbocharger combination is probably what twin-charging really is.

It was pretty much one of the first cars to use the TSI system. Parts are damn difficult to find though.

 

[PikachuRacer11]

The 1989 Nissan March SuperTurbo was the first street-legal supermini (B-Segment, or Subcompact Car) to use twin-charging (uses both a supercharger and turbocharger in order to minimise Turbo Lag).

However, the first car(s) ever to use Twin-Charging was the 1985 Lancia Delta S4 Group B Rally Car and it's limited-production street-legal counterpart, the Lancia S4 Stradale (of which 200 were made specifically for FIA Group B homologation).

This with the new Sound Engine.... I won't stop driving this if that happens

 

[Aero2000]

March Super Turbo vs Starlet GT anyone?

Yeah it's sound terrific , hope both cars comes to GT

And thanks for your comments

...a Micra that came with a twincharger system and a limited-slip differential from the factory?

What the hell happened to Nissan after the mid-90s?

Yep that's true

It's not only Nissan that stopped do fun cars after the 90s , nearly all automakers had a fun car in the catalog

Found the classic promo video for the Nissan March SuperTurbo on Youtube (Video is in Japanese)

 

[JKgo]

Voted 'cuz the name. SuperTurbo!! Man talk 'bout heroic name. Imagine telling your beer buddies your ride's a SuperTurbo!! Your Turbo's so super, it's a SuperTurbo!! Hahahaha I can get enough of this!! {rolls around floor laughing}

 

[thehobnob97]

Voted!
It is such a cool little car.

Miss this car from GT1 and 2. These quirky Japanese cars are as much a part of Gran Turismo as some of the better known supercars.

Yeah you have right about that

 

[Matej]

Voted. I would scrap all other Micra models in the game just to get this one. Premium if possible.

 

[TayeezSA]

I'm happy this has over 60 likes. You don't see cars like this in games anymore so I think it deserves a place in GT7

Thanks for vote Yes, I also think this would be a nice premium car to GT6 or GT7 but we can only hope

 

[JR98]

The 2 most known for making crazy cars before the 90's were Abarth and Lancia

When your engine doesn't fit in your car, you know you've got an Abarth

 

[GranTurismo guy]

Just saw the thread title alone and got gt2 goosebumps. I love this car soooooo much, so yeah, bring it back

 

[Quotex]

Liked this car back in GT2 As well. Along with the Starlet Turbo S
