Nobody believes that the group B is gathering that will return. Not only for the number of deadly accidents that occurred during the afternoon, but also because of the astronomical costs involved in the expensive Formula 1 technology filling in family cars, mostly. But just look at the competing cars now. Certainly it looks like Ford Puma Sats, Hyundai i20 NS and Toyota Gr Yarises that you can find (or can) in showrooms today, but you will find under it a space frame structure and high -tech engines designed only for gathering. It is the group B for the modern era, those that are faster and safer than the group that came before.
The big difference is that, in the eighties of the last century, manufacturers were forced to create copies on the roads of their competitors to comply with the gathering, and this is something that does not worry. As long as their cars are mysteriously similar to those that are sold in the galleries, they are fine in the gathering. But this is what made the era of the group with a very distinctive, right? The fact that you can climb your merchant and buy a 6R4 Metro V6 engine, or Peugeot 205 T16 or one of these: A Lancia Delta S4 Stradale.
Group B era dismantled some of the appropriate strange balls, such as Citreon 4TC or IBIZA seat, double -seat, and most of them were either very dilapidated or very slow so that it is not as good like the assembly cars. The Delta S4, though a different type of eccentric. After all, Lansia was very good in the winning Rally Championship, as she took the 1974, 75 and 76 titles with great strata, and theft of “83” of Audi Quattro rear wheel. You knew that he would come with something amazing.
This was not just the first wheel player car, but also the first in the date that uses double charging technology. A brilliant idea when you think about it: Use a large turbocharged truck for medical amounts of energy, associated with a super charger to reduce the delay in the lower sessions. Official power numbers have never been launched, although some claim that they may deliver up to 1,000 hp with a wick. It is also deficient for Henry Tuevonn, one of the great footnote to her death behind the S4 wheel that was eventually pushed to the era of Group B, all over the Estoril Grand Prix that would have placed it in the first ten F1 test a few weeks ago. amazing.
It is not surprising that Lensia described things again for the road. The four 1.8 -liter incentive is still assembled with ABRTH Supercher and Turbo, and the power has only been modified to Tamer 250HP, while the SUV system was also kept with the trio of the difference. Placing fuel tanks, which were directly under the seats to better distribute weight, was supposed to not push a little mind for the safety of the driver. However, the interior has been appropriately distorted, with beautiful suede, and some S4 badges scattered around the place, which is a lot.
Put it in this way: If Ferrari introduces a hatchback version of F40, it will look like this. It was granted, it’s not the most beautiful thing that comes out of Italy, but its close relationships with one of the most fearful cars that were very desirable. In particular, the example we have here, which was delivered to the United Kingdom when it spent the past 35 years and a lot of 3,500 miles in France. It has now returned to our beaches, as it was recently served by legendary Lancia specialist Elio and Giovanni Baldi in Turin, where she received a handful of engine modifications to cancel more necrosis. You will need to give the seller an invitation to the price, which will be great. But as special offers in group B progress, they do not come more special than this.
