Lancia Delta S4 - A Technical Masterpiece of Rallying
The original, on which this precisely crafted model of the Lancia Delta S4 is based, was developed during an extremely innovative period in motorsport. The Lancia Delta S4 represents the first generation, built from 1985 to 1986. It was a vehicle specifically designed for competition in the infamous Group B of the World Rally Championship. The car succeeded the Lancia 037 and was a significant evolution by being both front-wheel drive and mid-engined. With over 500 horsepower, the 1.8-liter engine with both mechanical and turbocharger provided acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 2.5 seconds. Designers and engineers like Aurelio Lampredi and Sergio Limone played essential roles in the development of this technical marvel.
Success Story of the Lancia Delta S4 in Motorsport
The Lancia Delta S4 made history in the rallying world and achieved impressive success on various competition circuits. Its debut victory in 1985 at the RAC Rally immediately showcased the potential of this vehicle. Numerous renowned drivers like Henri Toivonen and Markku Alén piloted this model in different rally competitions. Sadly, the era of the Delta S4 came to an abrupt end after the FIA decided to ban Group B due to numerous accidents and safety concerns. Despite its brief competitive period, the Delta S4 remains a symbol of technological advancement and athletic excellence.
