Trying to think of all the cars that were built for the purpose of satisfying a homologation requirement, but release to the general public for purchase and registered for the street. Extra points if they still fall into the "affordable" category. Here's a few off the top of my head to get started.

323 GTX

E30 M3

190e 2.3 16v Cosworth

Lancia Integrale

924 Carrera GT

Quattro S1

RS200

Also I'm told by the internet this happened:

I can't imagine the stones it would take to drive a 917 on the street today. Photo credited is reputed to be Car and Driver.

Was the 917 actually sold as a homologated street car?

Fun fact: John Wyer's racing teams (such as Aston Martin and Gulf) used to drive their cars to the Le Mans track from the chateau they used as a base of operations. Until they started racing 917s. Then they discovered that the 917s would foul the spark plugs. A 917 has 24 spark plugs. And you have to remove the 12 cylinder exhaust system to get to them.

No more driving to the track.
