LANCIA DELTA S4

INTRODUCTION

In 1982, Lancia’s brand new Group B contender was the Rallye 037 which sported a mid-engine and rear-wheel drive layout. At that point in time Audi was still struggling to get better reliability and dry performance out of their quattro. In fact, with the rear-wheel drive car, Lancia was able to clinch the 1983 WRC championship away from Audi. However, it was very clear that the ever improving Audi had left the 037 struggling to match pace in many events. In May of 1983, Lancia managed to convince the Fiat management that they had no choice but to come with a four-wheel drive rally car design of their own.
