Why it matters
The March R introduced the twin-charged MA09ERT engine, which Motor-Fan calls the first twin-charged engine in a Japanese production car. It was the competition car from which the road-going March Super Turbo was derived.

History
Nissan launched the March R in August 1988 as a pure competition base for rallying, aiming at the 1,001–1,600 cc class. Because forced-induction engines were rated at 1.7 times their capacity, the engine was reduced to 930 cc so that 930 × 1.7 stayed under 1,600 cc.
The March R was offered in a standard form and three further types; the street version, the March Super Turbo, followed in January 1989.
