The Lancia Delta S4, and is the only car ever produced from factory and
homologated to have both the supercharger and turbocharger. The MR2
would have to be custom. 480hp, 350ftlbs, from a 1759cc. The most
outrageous Rallye group B car ever produced, but unfortunately the FIA
pulled the plug on group B after Henri Toivonen died in a crash in the S4.

Not surprising, these cars were a bit too fast for dirt roads... 0-60 in
6 seconds on gravel (!) and 142 mph. That, from a car that looks from
a hatchback the size of a volkswagen golf...
