This is a Lancia Delta, however it isn’t what you think when you think Lancia delta do you.
Oh no you think of this
This
The Delta Integrale took Lancia’s run-of-the-mill hatchback and turned it into something memorable, we owe all of this awesomeness to Group B. The Group B regulations fostered some of the quickest, most powerful and sublime rally cars ever built. However, a series of major accidents, some fatal, were blamed on their outright speed.
Group B regulations also said that 200 road legal models had to be sold to the public, this rule gave birth to some of the best cars including the totally awesome Audi Quattro and the Ford RS200. Even Porsche had a go with the 959.
That's a car everybody could love
The thing is cars can do fast so much better than they could do when Group B was removed from the championship, The technology has advanced considerably and cars are now safer. Imagine the possibilities if we brought Group B back from the dead, it could also be a tribute for all of those who gave their lives behind the wheel.
