Ushering in what race aficionados refer to as the golden era of rallying, the Group B regulations of the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile allowed manufacturers to produce some of the most powerful, high-performance automobiles in history. And the Delta S4 Stradale model of the Italian brand Lancia was the most successful competitor on the golden era rally circuit.
The rare and vintage car retailer Petrology recently got its hands on one of the remaining examples of the Delta S4 Stradale in the world (another recent rare example here) manufactured 33 years ago, this exceptional vehicle is made all the more remarkable in that it sports only 9,800 miles and has never been restored.
That’s right. This immaculately maintained car comes complete with its original brown suede leather in the cabin and its original twin-charged 037 engine that produced that is capable of generating 350 horsepower with a supercharger only.
