Hot hatches or pocket rockets are hatchbacks that absolutely frizzle on the street. The name was first used in the UK in 1985, but hot hatches have been popular for a long time. How well do you know the fastest and coolest hatchbacks of all times? Take our quiz to find out!
Who doesn’t love fast, agile, and affordable cars? Well if you do, hot hatches have it all. Some people say the first hatchback was made in 1975 and others say in 1953. But people will always argue about dates and models. Nevertheless, there’s a common silent agreement between all car enthusiasts: hot hatches changed the way we view cars.
By the early 2000s hot hatches became the new trend, after facing tough times in the ‘90s. The arrival of Ford Focus RS and the 5th generation of the Volkswagen Golf GTI proved that these pocket rockets are not gone yet. And for the past few years, engine outputs of 300 horsepower+ have become the new norm.
