This one. The Ioniq 5 N, and it’s not really even close. The ideal of a Hot Hatch is a car that is able to handle families and dogs well, that is also super fun to drive, reasonably frugal, and occasionally surprise much more expensive sports cars on the road. This can do all of those things but instead of just…

Renault 5 Turbo II (1980-84)

Since the Lancia has already been highlighted as the correct answer....
The GTI W12-650. Hottest of hot.
641 hp Bentley Continental W12 Engine. Mounted in the back.
Transaxle out of a Gallardo.
Phaeton gearbox.
RS4 front brakes.
100% absurd and I love it.

I see the Lancia and I’ll raise the Ford Escort Cosworth, which I believe became the Focus RS later on. It did not win a WRC world title, but it had a fairly successful rally run, winning alot of titles in group A...Just look at that silly wing on the back, it’s awesome!

beat me to it

Agreed, the question should be “Why is the Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evoluzione II the best hot hatch ever made?” Because there’s no question that it is.

(only a tiny part of it is because evoluzione is a very fun word to say)

Let’s not forget that Stig comes from a very large family with cousins across the globe. Big Stig, African Stig, Australian Stig, etc...

There were actually 4 ... remember one M. Schumacher?

Dudes in the hospital, the smell of beer on his breath, and he’s telling the ER nurse “I hit a helicopter on my snowmobile”. Sure buddy, sure. 

Take a few minutes and click on some of these Trumpy derangement articles/videos on Youtube or twitter. You’ll immediately see responses from racist cucks even more ignorant than Führer Donold.

Oh, is it really hard being an F1 star driver? Maybe its not so great living in the lap of luxury?

What an absolute piss baby. 

Reached over and honked the horn at someone else on my behalf. Someone who was driving dumb, not, like, a friendly honk to someone we knew or something.

You’re readin’ that wrong, son.

Not sure I would entrust a teenager’s life to a 31 year old airbag. 

Feeling a bit dystopian this morning, Rob? How this car escaped the clutches of The Walking Dead franchise is beyond me. This car will sell fast and drive slowly and anonymously into the future.

“Hi I need a set of decent wheels at a decent price”

“Gundalf” was RIGHT THERE

Maybe a Leeds United or LA Chargers superfan?

The oval office desk drawer with the knob for car insurance prices is right under the drawer with the knob for gas prices. It would be easy to lower prices, but Biden just keeps cranking those knobs up. Sad!

They probably think he will do it the same way voters believe whoever is president has direct control on how the economy is doing.
