The “true” Group B homologation specials that were built entirely from scratch specifically to compete in the class are highlighted in RED.

Some manufacturers used an existing production model but built a limited series of modified cars specifically for Group B homologation. These “semi-homologation” cars are highlighted in ORANGE.

The manufacturers that used mainstream high volume (production) vehicles for Group B homologation are highlighted in GREEN.

Group 4 based homologation specials are highlighted in BLUE.
