It was a legit late ’80s Japanese hot hatch, but not a Nissan you hear about often.
The Superturbo not only earned a reputation on the street but also in racing of both the paved and unpaved variety. It made about 110 horsepower, which doesn’t sound like much, but given its ultra light weight and tiny footprint, the March Superturbo was quite a performer. The lightweight hatchback could be had with a 900cc four cylinder engine that had both a turbocharger and a supercharger. But in the ’80s the tiny little K10 March could be spec’d as something much more. The Nissan March or Micra is the only car in this bunch that’s still sold today, and it’s generally considered a decent entry level subcompact.
With all of the great high resolution imagery available, I thought it was worth putting together a little story looking back on some of these interesting, but lesser known cars from Nissan’s past.

I was recently looking through Nissan’s media archive doing some research on the P10 Primera (the Nissan-badged version of the Infiniti G20 I currently own) when I got lost in a spiral of obscure ’80s and ’90s JDM goodness. Then you’ve got other great models like the Cefiro, Laurel, Pulsar GTi-R, Primera, and the Sentra SE-R.īut if you dig even deeper into this era of Nissan’s history, there’s even more cool stuff to be found. We all know about the icons: the Fairlady Z, the Skyline, the Silvia and so forth.
I mentioned in that article how eye-opening it is to look back a few decades and see all of the cool things Nissan was doing. I wrote about this in an editorial late last year. Unfortunately global economics, mergers, market strategies and many other factors have resulted in a modern Nissan brand that doesn’t offer a whole lot for car enthusiasts. Do you remember how awesome Nissan was in the ’80s and ’90s?
