Mamma mia il sibilo del volumetrico fa venire i brividi !! Siamo sempre stati i migliori costruttori di automobili al mondo. Se pensiamo che oggi 2021 l'Italia non ha piú un'industria automobilstica, sembra incredibile. La realtá supera la fantasia.
They were so close to 1:1 ratio then! Just engine, plastic, tires and a tilt-rack. It took a couple of lives to stop it. They were modern gladiators, and my god they were risking everything during their era. It is a part of my childhood, when I never really understood what they were doing, except that I loved it. It is one beautiful piece of art, and I hope that it never comes back. Only in our memories.
It never should of been banned though few Rule changes would of been better for the sport better safety regs, higher minimum weight like not allowing aluminium rollcages and better fire safety and spectator control is most important. Banning group b killed rallying ther where multiple manufacturers developing cars that never got to see stages and they just gave up on rallying we would of had a bunch of Manufacturers not like now thers 3 🙄
@@PaceWorks dude, banning group b was not only good for safety reasons, but also it started the most remembered era on Rallying, not only Lancia Delta stood there also we got the era of legendary machines such as the Subaru Impreza, Mitsubishi Lancer Evos, Ford Focus, Scorts and Fiestas, Toyota Celica GT4, Corolla WRC,, Peugeot 206 and the glorious Citroens Xsara and C series, plus some others. If group B should had continued the likes of Ferrari or Porsche would maked the sport very expensive and scared brands like Lancia here, giving us the same problem we have nowadays while continuied risking drivers and spectators lifes. Nostalgia is a good thing, but sometimes it lie to us... Sometimes
Such an incredible bit of footage of my favourite race car of all time, the thing was an an absolute animal and it looks even meaner in this testing specification. Let’s not forget just how great this car was and the thrill of watching the brilliant Henri Toivonen throw it around a rally stage. RIP Henri.
Incredibile come in questo video possano convivere allo stesso tempo follia, genio, passione, adrenalina, preoccupazione, convinzione, decisione, talento. Posso solo immaginare l'euforia degli addetti di allora nello scoprire di avere tra le mani un "missile". Pensate alla soddisfazione di Lombardi solo a sentire il gemito di quel motore.
Lancia was such a great brand at this time. Stratos, Monte Carlo Beta, 037, Delta S4 and at last Delta Integrale. In the 90s it went downhill and today Lancia is almost dead. Very sad
To be fair: this black, noisy thing is the fuel of every boys dream. You may had an F40 poster on your wall. I had 1/64 scale S4s on my shelf. Do you hear the noises it makes? Wastegates poppin', a screaming compressor. Just mind bending.
Never in my life thought I’d be able to witness testing footage!! I’ve seen a picture before and I remember reading an article that they painted it almost camouflage when testing. Super cool video
At 2:49, the speed this car holds going into and out of the apex is simply astronomical. Quite a few supercars, even today, would struggle to get anywhere near that level of speed.
Steve Neill Indeed; this is one of the most impressive rallying videos on YT because it shows one of the World's greatest rally drivers and greatest car in perfect harmony...
Steve Neill They can’t, period. Lancia Delta S4 was a competition car built around an astonishing idea of a 2000cc engine that was both turbo-charged (high revs) and compressed witha Volumex compressor (low revs) and had a phenomenal mechanic 4x4 with special suspension schemes and full lightweight strip down (most of the outside bodywork was in plastic. The car was only 810kg with over 800HP and stuck to the ground like a suction cup, no competition car (let alone “ordinary” supercars) in the world has ever reached it’s speed in tight bend and (relatively..top was around 185 km/h) low speed tracks like those of the WRC.
Hi i worked for Audi Sport UK on the A2, S1 and E2, the E2 in 1986 was giving an honest 600BHP and was the most powerful car ever entered in the WRC The WRC cars did indeed start setting quicker stage times from 1992 for the following reasons:- Massive tyre improvements Electronic Engine Management including Anti Lag releasing huge Torque Suspension Adjustability Braking (from 1995) Electronic Diffs, the group B cars gave huge power from 5000rpm onwards, the 1992 WRC cars gave more responsive power from 3000rpm and larger torque output. Group B was amazing but later cars became far easier to drive for the above reasons
The guys back then had to be so much more skilled though. I'd bet if Henri Toivenen were still around he'd have given any of the guys of the current wrc a run for their money.
You can thank the tabloid The Daily Mail for that, they just decided one day to write a false article about how Lancia cars rusted so badly they were an unsafe car to buy. Then other magazines jumped on the bandwagon and it got so bad that Lancia's sales had a ginormous crash which let to the company having to shut down.
Everything in this video is so 80s, but everything about it is awesome. And I found it funny to see Georgio Pianta trying the car himself. I thought he was just the manager of the Lancia world rally program.
Kevlar-carbon body panels and monocoque over tubular chrome-molybdenum spaceframe with titanium powertrain elements and monstrously genius engine. Absolutely uncompromising hi-tech. Even 40 years later. Delta S4 was far more friendly to handle & drive at gravel or snow surfaces, like a fish in the water. But it was extremely tricky at asphalt (and extremely quick with proper handling in same time) and only extremely talented pilots can reveal the full potential of S4 at asphalt. Actually, only one person who was able to reveal full potential is Henri Toivonen. Literally anyone involved in competition during that period said the same thing about. It is like Delta S4 was created for Henri. And he only started to shine, but... stupid and dangerous decision of Lancia team management drew all into darkness.

La Delta S4 restera l'une des voitures de rallye la plus compétitive de son époque Elle avait permis à Lancia de jouer le titre en 1986 face à Kankkunen et Peugeot avec sa 205 Turbo 16, malgré la mort tragique d'Henri Toivonen au Tours de Corse . Puis la Delta avait dominer le WRC de 1987 à 1992 en accumulant les titres pilotes et constructeurs lorsque Toyota a réussi à les battres lors de la saison 1993 . Cette vidéo me fait beaucoups penser au plus italien des pilotes finlandais Markku Alèn , au talentueux Massimo Biassione , aux regrettés Henri Toivonen disparus en 1986 et Attilio Bettega mort tragiquement en 1985 à ce même Tours de Corse. C'est le modèle le plus potable de Lancia.
I love the sound this car makes, it's unique and futuristic. Kind of reminds me of Dodge M4S in "The Wraith" movie. this car could have totally been in that movie, would have fit.
Marchionne è riuscito a distruggere anche la Lancia...non ha storia secondo lui: questa cos'è? leggenda sacra per chi ama le macchine!!! !!! !!! Grandi progettisti, grandi tecnici, grandi collaudatori e grandi piloti. Questo Patrimonio non può essere distrutto da un Demente
ah ah ah keep dreaming, the old dusty sheds full of Lancias, Lambrettas and Vespas are a thing of the 90s, now they dug all the good stuff and refurbished
Spettacolo! Ho fatto tanti anni fa un Formula Challenge (1997), vinto da uno con la S4! Macchina incredibile, sound emozionante, strafelice di averla vista correre!!!
My fav car ever, brutally insane, could still out-accellerate almost any super/hypercar today in manual .. Toivonnen was a god ... Even driving a F3 car as fun in spare time he was up there with Senna
Imagine watching this video in 1984,it must have seemed like a car from another planet. People forget that in those days an escort xr3i, pur jo 205 gti,golf gti etc were considered as fast cars... And for those who have seen the Toivonen fireball will appreciate how bloody dangerous it was.............
tutto vero ma ce lo meritiamo per come non siamo stati in grado di gestire un cazzo dopo i mitici anni di pianta, fiorio, forghieri, e compagnia bella..
This test was done in La mandria track, near Torino, in a beautiful park being part of La Reggia of Venaria. So you can also image this kind of incredible machine (born, grew up on the race and died as a prototype, unfortunately!)in a so beautiful location. What a incredible mix!
when car races were for people with balls, the risk of dying ran around every corner. it was the risk factor that fascinated the public. by now the risk has been literally abolished and consequently the fascination of this sport that was once extreme
I think that's not so impossible, imagine an off road circuit track, not street because without escape routes group B really is too dangerous... In that case the company should create sort of F1, but off road... Like rally cross, but bigger track and better cars
Do you know that the actual WRC cars are faster than the ones in the group B era. Same case happens with modern lmp1 besting lap times of group C cars in le mans. They where more spectacular for sure, but the Yaris, I20 and Fiesta are now faster
il solo sound di quel 4 in linea fà molta più paura dei classici v8 o v12..la motricità di questo prototipo capace di spezzare la schiena dei piloti è degna di una F1..la facilità con cui scorre su strada è degna di una categoria sportiva superiore.. Delta s4 l auto sportiva per antonomasia..
la pelle d oca e il culo stretto che non c entra neanche uno spillo verrebbe a sedere vicino al collaudatore..che quando scollina lo fà con lauto sospesa in aria..a una velocità folle..in una strada statale come quella la delta avrà sfiorato i 200kmh..roba da farsi venire i capelli bianchi.. non sò se avete notato quando è ferma quanto è alta da terra..è il fondo completamente piatto..
@@edoardozampetti4601 Non penso sia mai esistita o esisterà una categoria Sportiva motoristica superiore. Esisterà un epoca Ante DeltaS4 e un'altra Post DeltaS4. Quest'auto ha portato l auto nel futuro, cosa che forse nessun altra auto lo ha fatto in modo così determinante. Un solo anno per diventare Icona Leggenda e Mito.
I miss those days of no limit in design both cars and the drivers that lived through the Group B era. To all that perished, May they rest in peace ✌️! WRC nowadays was only 1/3 rd of the crazy things that you can do and so many drivers lost their lives. I remember helicopters dropping mechanics and parts to service the rally cars on stages on cliff sides so they service the broken car on the road. I am glad to be a spectator on this era of too fas to race rally cars.
Wow! This is awesome footage! It's been a long time since I've been able to say that I'd never seen a particular bit of Group B era footage, but this is really special! Thanks for posting it!
Audi won against ancient RWD machines with the only 4WD in the championship. Still Lancia won the teams championship with a dedicated RWD car that year. Audi never really got on top of the issues it had with its 4WD system aka understeer. When other teams brought out their dedicated 4WD cars they quickly put Audi into its place. Lancia was among the best at that time. And they went on to remain best for years on.
+ Sturmvw purtroppo escludendo gli appassionati non è più conosciuta ,anzi in inghilterra e irlanda dopo quello che è successo con la ruggine sono anni che non è più commercializzata.ma è anche vero che dopo la Delta e la Thema anni 80 è diventato un marchio per ragazze y ,oppure azzardati stili come la nuova delta ,k ,thesis .o chrysler rimarchiate.ora solo y cmq in Italia e francia ancora vende.spero che se riesce il rilancio Alfa possa ritornare anche Lancia magari facendosi prima pubblicità nei rally.
Dio ti dia ascolto oggi LANCIA ha diventato come tu dici un marchio per ragazzine capricciose. Tutto questo grazie alle strategie della Fiat, FCA e Marchionne. Hanno ucciso questo grandissimo marchio, che se fosse stato dei tedeschi o giapponesi avrebbe diventato Audi o Subaru.
Mar Dema Marchionne in Fiat è arrivato nel 2003,adesso dare la colpa a lui mi sembra eccessivo,visto che sono più di 25 anni che non si investe in Lancia .Ti ricordo che quando arrivò Marchionne Fiat era data per fallita o venduta agli Americani e Alfa ai Tedeschi,mi sembra che sia successo il contrario e che Marchionne ha salvato il gruppo.

@@Ronald99 Chiedi ad un certo Marku Allen, uno qualsiasi, quale è l auto che quando ci sale sopra e la guida gli fa venire la pelle d oca e lo emoziona ancora dopo 35 anni. Le vittorie sono importanti, ma a volte nella leggenda restano in modo indelebile le incompiute. La S4 è rimasta un incompiuta, ma è stata, è e sarà l auto che tecnologicamente ha fatto compiere un salto lunghissimo nel futuro, ma soprattutto nell' immaginario collettivo, quando dici Rally e per chi ne capisce, pensi per prima a lei. Lei è la Regina dei Rally, nonostante il mondiale non vinto scippato dai francesi. PS Un rottame di parafango della S4 vincitrice del Rac 85, la prima mondiale a cui partecipava, è stato battuto all asta alla modica cifra di 12000€, io penso che parecchie auto acclamate oggi, tra qualche anno varranno di meno.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lancia_Delta_S4 "The bodywork was made of a carbon fibre composite with front and rear bodywork fully detachable for fast replacement due to accident damage / The door construction style was brought from the 037 with a hollow shell all-Kevlar construction that had no inner door skin" F1 was first using it in 1981 and it immediately became popular after it saved the life of John Watson at Monza after a heavy crash where people were sure he was dead he was unharmed. looks like its been painted on anyway.

The WRC cars did indeed start setting quicker stage times from 1992 for the following reasons:-
Massive tyre improvements
Electronic Engine Management including Anti Lag releasing huge Torque
Suspension Adjustability
Braking
(from 1995) Electronic Diffs, the group B cars gave huge power from 5000rpm onwards, the 1992 WRC cars gave more responsive power from 3000rpm and larger torque output.

Ahahahahahahahhhha

La Delta S4 restera l'une des voitures de rallye la plus compétitive de son époque
Elle avait permis à Lancia de jouer le titre en 1986 face à Kankkunen et Peugeot avec sa 205 Turbo 16, malgré la mort tragique d'Henri Toivonen au Tours de Corse .
Puis la Delta avait dominer le WRC de 1987 à 1992 en accumulant les titres pilotes et constructeurs lorsque Toyota a réussi à les battres lors de la saison 1993 .
Cette vidéo me fait beaucoups penser au plus italien des pilotes finlandais Markku Alèn , au talentueux Massimo Biassione , aux regrettés Henri Toivonen disparus en 1986 et Attilio Bettega mort tragiquement en 1985 à ce même Tours de Corse.
C'est le modèle le plus potable de Lancia.
Historic footage this, worth to be kept in museums for the ages, I hope people realize that.
Was a raw as hell.Terrifying car,you needed big balls to drive it👍
Il mitico Giorgio Pianta....che tempi ragazzi! Io vidi il San Remo del 1986 ed una gara automobilistica così bella ed emozionante non l'ho più vista
Cosa facevano i nostri ingegneri 40 anni fa...!! Ora il nulla
Incredible footage. Of the all time greatest rally car in my opinion. Amazing 👏🏼
The most icónic car in group B. And like this whitout bodypaint seems like came from the star war movies. Still today is my icon car
That's an expensive coffin right there
Ready for the cremation sadly
Fantastico Giorgio Pianta che afferma stupefatto "..ha fatto 32.8", come per dire "ma come cazzo ha fatto, con la macchina che non sta in strada..."
Verissimo o sapevo guidare sennò....
Tutta la passione e la genuinita di tempi ormai andati pultroppo per noi appassionati dell'epoca
I love the sound this car makes, it's unique and futuristic. Kind of reminds me of Dodge M4S in "The Wraith" movie. this car could have totally been in that movie, would have fit.
The Wraith, what an absolutely idiotic movie.
How stupid does someone have to be to like that dumb pathetic piece of garbage.
Marchionne è riuscito a distruggere anche la Lancia...non ha storia secondo lui: questa cos'è? leggenda sacra per chi ama le macchine!!! !!! !!! Grandi progettisti, grandi tecnici, grandi collaudatori e grandi piloti. Questo Patrimonio non può essere distrutto da un Demente
Four cylinders + two types of forced ind. = one piece of hell
Che bel paese abbiamo avuto! Che tristezza! Che brutta fine abbiamo fatto! :((((
Se cominci una rivoluzione personale vivrai meglio
che ci hanno voluto far fare, aggiungerei...e siamo neanche a metà secondo me...
I'd love to find a forgotten 80's Lancia hidden away in an old dusty shed...
ah ah ah keep dreaming, the old dusty sheds full of Lancias, Lambrettas and Vespas are a thing of the 90s, now they dug all the good stuff and refurbished
Spettacolo!
Ho fatto tanti anni fa un Formula Challenge (1997), vinto da uno con la S4!
Macchina incredibile, sound emozionante, strafelice di averla vista correre!!!
They put it up against the f1 cars of the era. It qualified 5th!
@Flying Spaghetti still a great reasult
any video footage?
They tested in Estoril
My fav car ever, brutally insane, could still out-accellerate almost any super/hypercar today in manual .. Toivonnen was a god ... Even driving a F3 car as fun in spare time he was up there with Senna
Una Italia che non esiste più 😢
quanto hai ragione!! 😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔
Imagine watching this video in 1984,it must have seemed like a car from another planet.
People forget that in those days an escort xr3i, pur jo 205 gti,golf gti etc were considered as fast cars...
And for those who have seen the Toivonen fireball will appreciate how bloody dangerous it was.............
turbo+supercharger = ufo
The Fallen It's supercharger wine combined with the sound of dog box gearbox
Grande Italia... Non c'è ne come noi... I padroni dello stile.... di tutto. Ma chi ci eguaglia??? .... Peccato fare una fine così non lo meritiamo.
tutto vero ma ce lo meritiamo per come non siamo stati in grado di gestire un cazzo dopo i mitici anni di pianta, fiorio, forghieri, e compagnia bella..

This test was done in La mandria track, near Torino, in a beautiful park being part of La Reggia of Venaria. So you can also image this kind of incredible machine (born, grew up on the race and died as a prototype, unfortunately!)in a so beautiful location. What a incredible mix!
In my humble opinion.. this prototipo looks far better than final racing version. And in army green color, woooow!😎😎
Markku "Maximum Attack" Alen. What a legend.
when humans used to make car with their heart!
Quando ho visto la prima questo video, dal tg1 dell'epoca, ho subito adorato Giorgio Pianta e la Delta S4
when car races were for people with balls, the risk of dying ran around every corner.
it was the risk factor that fascinated the public.
by now the risk has been literally abolished and consequently the fascination of this sport that was once extreme
Still and always will be the best rally car ever in design and engineering what a beast of a car💪 !!! Bring back group B 💯👍
I think that's not so impossible, imagine an off road circuit track, not street because without escape routes group B really is too dangerous... In that case the company should create sort of F1, but off road... Like rally cross, but bigger track and better cars
Do you know that the actual WRC cars are faster than the ones in the group B era. Same case happens with modern lmp1 besting lap times of group C cars in le mans.
They where more spectacular for sure, but the Yaris, I20 and Fiesta are now faster
@@milesr4609 I was going to reply the same thing to him but I thought nah!!! 🤣
One of the coolest things I've ever seen
*Scariest Rallye Car*
*Machine from Hell*
*Forza Lancia* 🇮🇹
Italy! -Ferrari,Lancia,Lamborghini,Alfa,Fiat,MV,Ducati,Vespa 😍
I have Alfa mangoleti
seriously such a beautiful country. From the history to the spirit of it, I only wish it was treated better.
@@gavinclark6891 well said,as Italian I can definitely say that this country it's been "raped" by the wrong people in the right place.

after the WW2 we had something like 60 motorbikes brands...... 60! motherfuckers with a carburator-heart.
E stata la più potente lancia da rally e tutto e partito da questa Delta ,peccato che e rimasta incompiuta 👍👍👍🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Tutti in silenzio per quello che ritengo uno dei filmati più belli in assoluto......
concordo pienamente
il solo sound di quel 4 in linea fà molta più paura dei classici v8 o v12..la motricità di questo prototipo capace di spezzare la schiena dei piloti è degna di una F1..la facilità con cui scorre su strada è degna di una categoria sportiva superiore.. Delta s4 l auto sportiva per antonomasia..
Ho la pelle d'oca.
la pelle d oca e il culo stretto che non c entra neanche uno spillo verrebbe a sedere vicino al collaudatore..che quando scollina lo fà con lauto sospesa in aria..a una velocità folle..in una strada statale come quella la delta avrà sfiorato i 200kmh..roba da farsi venire i capelli bianchi.. non sò se avete notato quando è ferma quanto è alta da terra..è il fondo completamente piatto..
@@edoardozampetti4601 Non penso sia mai esistita o esisterà una categoria Sportiva motoristica superiore. Esisterà un epoca Ante DeltaS4 e un'altra Post DeltaS4. Quest'auto ha portato l auto nel futuro, cosa che forse nessun altra auto lo ha fatto in modo così determinante. Un solo anno per diventare Icona Leggenda e Mito.
Tanta nostalgia dai torniamo in pista. Mostriate quanto siete bravi mostrate al mondo che noi italiani siamo in grado di competere in ogni pista
Vaya bestia parda. Eso si que es un coche de rally y no los 1.6 de ahora. Turbo y Supercharger eso es jodidamente brutal.
Ahhhh Algorithm finally did something great
E vi ricordo che negli anni 80 le auto stradali al massimo avevano 140 cv e non oltre, questi stavano facendo la storia con quel mostro tecnologico.
Togli pure" stavano"... Hanno fatto la storia.. In configurazione gara 580 hp ed oltre, per neanche 1000 kg
I miss those days of no limit in design both cars and the drivers that lived through the Group B era.
To all that perished, May they rest in peace ✌️! WRC nowadays was only 1/3 rd of the crazy things that you can do and so many drivers lost their lives. I remember helicopters dropping mechanics and parts to service the rally cars on stages on cliff sides so they service the broken car on the road. I am glad to be a spectator on this era of too fas to race rally cars.
Great times. Oh those great, great racing times.
Beautiful , i hope she still exists , much respect all
Same thoughts here.. it seems like nobody knows its destiny🙄🙏🍀
Mr. Maximum Attack as a test driver, nice 👍
and Pianta says "32.8" with such admiration for that performance..
Monica Bellucci on four wheels.!!!
Mónica on all fours....!!!
Markku Alen, the king of cool.
When every car had soul and his own caracter like marvel’s superheroes
Best car ever. Bravo bravissimo.
So cool to get an insight into how these beasts were created.
Wow! This is awesome footage! It's been a long time since I've been able to say that I'd never seen a particular bit of Group B era footage, but this is really special! Thanks for posting it!
Una macchina infernale!
Indimenticabile!
GLI Anni 80, indimenticabili
Le bruit du moteur est génial 👌🙋
Audi won against ancient RWD machines with the only 4WD in the championship. Still Lancia won the teams championship with a dedicated RWD car that year. Audi never really got on top of the issues it had with its 4WD system aka understeer. When other teams brought out their dedicated 4WD cars they quickly put Audi into its place. Lancia was among the best at that time. And they went on to remain best for years on.
Fan boys rant on about Audi pioneering 4wd ,they forget Subaru was producing mainstream 4wd cars before them
The car didn't ask the driver how fast he wanted to go, rather how scared he wanted to be!
non so se vi rendete conto, ma in un video Marchionne dice testualmente "La Lancia non ha storia"..... Ecco, l'italia è in mano a questa gente qui...
+ Sturmvw purtroppo escludendo gli appassionati non è più conosciuta ,anzi in inghilterra e irlanda dopo quello che è successo con la ruggine sono anni che non è più commercializzata.ma è anche vero che dopo la Delta e la Thema anni 80 è diventato un marchio per ragazze y ,oppure azzardati stili come la nuova delta ,k ,thesis .o chrysler rimarchiate.ora solo y cmq in Italia e francia ancora vende.spero che se riesce il rilancio Alfa possa ritornare anche Lancia magari facendosi prima pubblicità nei rally.
brasile nn esiste sud america devo ancora studiare
Dio ti dia ascolto oggi LANCIA ha diventato come tu dici un marchio per ragazzine capricciose. Tutto questo grazie alle strategie della Fiat, FCA e Marchionne. Hanno ucciso questo grandissimo marchio, che se fosse stato dei tedeschi o giapponesi avrebbe diventato Audi o Subaru.
Mar Dema Marchionne in Fiat è arrivato nel 2003,adesso dare la colpa a lui mi sembra eccessivo,visto che sono più di 25 anni che non si investe in Lancia .Ti ricordo che quando arrivò Marchionne Fiat era data per fallita o venduta agli Americani e Alfa ai Tedeschi,mi sembra che sia successo il contrario e che Marchionne ha salvato il gruppo.
anzi Marchionne è stato nominato AD dopo il 2003
Just saw the new Delta. It's beautiful
Ancora oggi è una grande emozione sentirla girare. La più grande auto da rally mai costruita.
Non ha vinto niente, a differenza della Delta Integrale. In confronto alla Delta S4 ha vinto di più la Grande Punto S2000
@@Ronald99 infatti non ha detto la più vincente. Purtroppo sono state “fermate”. Le Delta 4wd /integrale hanno vinto ma questa era di un altro pianeta
@@mr70it non puo' essere considerata la più grande solo per il potenziale, le gruppo b erano delle bare con le ruote e questo baste per non considerarle delle grandi auto da rally
@@Ronald99 girala come vuoi, io non ho detto che era la più grande sicuramente mi ha emozionato solo a vederla/sentirla di più anche se alla fine non ha vinto “nulla”
@@Ronald99 Chiedi ad un certo Marku Allen, uno qualsiasi, quale è l auto che quando ci sale sopra e la guida gli fa venire la pelle d oca e lo emoziona ancora dopo 35 anni. Le vittorie sono importanti, ma a volte nella leggenda restano in modo indelebile le incompiute. La S4 è rimasta un incompiuta, ma è stata, è e sarà l auto che tecnologicamente ha fatto compiere un salto lunghissimo nel futuro, ma soprattutto nell' immaginario collettivo, quando dici Rally e per chi ne capisce, pensi per prima a lei. Lei è la Regina dei Rally, nonostante il mondiale non vinto scippato dai francesi. PS Un rottame di parafango della S4 vincitrice del Rac 85, la prima mondiale a cui partecipava, è stato battuto all asta alla modica cifra di 12000€, io penso che parecchie auto acclamate oggi, tra qualche anno varranno di meno.
when we had real people on this planet in a real era. not the fake bullshit now
And that´s how you build a proper fast hatchback
Great footage!
l'Italia della qualità
That was the time and the car!
Not the battery bullshit we have now!
looks so bad ass with the bare carbon
Lol, it's not carbon fiber:) It's just fiberglass compound. Remember, it's 1984.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lancia_Delta_S4
"The bodywork was made of a carbon fibre composite with front and rear bodywork fully detachable for fast replacement due to accident damage / The door construction style was brought from the 037 with a hollow shell all-Kevlar construction that had no inner door skin"
F1 was first using it in 1981 and it immediately became popular after it saved the life of John Watson at Monza after a heavy crash where people were sure he was dead he was unharmed.
looks like its been painted on anyway.
+Tristan Miller Batman is envy eheh
S4 seems it came from hell. I remember these images on tv when i was thirteen years old.
Lancia is Italian, not Norwegian.
@@christiantaylor1495 and??
I don't understand. I tell it seems from hell cause its like a demon. It's black and terrify. I don't understand you. I'm a fan of italian cars and I know where Lancia is from. But I recognise, I think the best is my GTI
