[@johnmarshall4442]

Ruf Ruf , that's my other dog imitation.

[@LMacNeill]

I have loved this car since I first saw it on a poster in 1983. Interesting fact: Lancia had no money to compete in the WRC Manufacturer's Cup for the entire 1983 season -- they couldn't go head-to-head against Audi in every race, because they just didn't have enough money to put a winning car on the circuit for every race. So Walter Rörhl *didn't* race in every race that year -- only the ones where he knew he could slaughter the Audis in the race. He did so well, that only racing in 6 out of 12 events -- including sitting out the last two events where Audi poured everything they could into them -- Lancia *still* managed to score enough points to win the WRC Manufacturer's Cup. And Rórhl himself came in 2nd place in the WRC Driver's Championship!! Only racing *half* the races in the whole season!! What an amazing driver, and what an amazing car!!

[@robertr7923]

"Nobody knows what this is, right?" Well, try to bring it to Europe. You won't drive a mile without somebody asking for a photo 😀

[@clockdva20]

You would not get five metres anywhere in Europe and in Italy no chance . The rules were for 200 road going cars but lancia fiddled those figures the same has most of the other did the same , many ended up converted to full rally cars or further upgraded to Evo cars . So in the end real road going versions are very rare beasts. These days there are many fake versions on the market.

[@gorgonzola7988]

si :D

[@7inrain]

This is what Walter Röhrl had to say in his book about the Lancia 037 (crappy translation by me): _"The 037 was precise, neutral and you could steer it nearly completely with the throttle. With its long wheelbase it was much less nervous than the Stratos but it was exactly as agile. Thanks to the mid-engine I could drive it with incredible cornering speeds. But there was the limit, narrow and tight as a rope on which you balanced. The 037 was unbelievably sensitive there. The engine with its supercharger had an extreme amount of steam from the low end, we had up to 320 bhp for a car that weighed between 2120 and 2160 pounds. All in all the 037 was the most beautiful rally car that I ever drove."_

[@Lieutenant_Dude]

The master knows. 037s have a look that reminds me of a wolf or a snake. Long and lean.

[@marcoflumino]

Correction the real later stage of the 037 had 360 bhp

[@bingrasm]

It could had have much more power, but with only 2 wheels driving it would be useless for rallying.

[@marcoflumino]

@@bingrasm correction again, it was the earlier stage of the 036 that was front wheel drive, the 037 was 4x4.

[@bingrasm]

? sorry but you are wrong the 037 was the last rear wheel drive made by Lancia for the B group.

[@willierants5880]

[@mikebagwell8229]

FCA would ruin it just like they ruined Maserati

[@mikebagwell8229]

@@arnehurnik They did, but if they would've waited for a private buyout by Ferrari or somebody else, they would've been saved with the brand intact. It would have been better to just not make cars for awhile until the right buyer came along, rather than selling out to FCA. I guess it worked for VW Group buying Lamborghini, but their philosophy is different than American car corporations.

[@simonalexandercritchley439]

Fiat had 2 marques besides Ferrari with a sporting history but could only support one. The decision was made in favour of Alfa Romeo. So Lancia first suffered the loss of the racing & rallying programme ,then became a brand of rebadged luxury Fiats. Exports ceased in 1995 being Italy only and the brand has been left to slowly die ever since

[@Dr.TJ_Eckleburg]

He's been on the show a few times, I like him because he's VERY knowledgeable about his cars. A lot of guys that Jay has on are just collectors who buy cars as status symbols. You can tell because they know almost nothing about the car, and Jay has to actually explain to them why their car is special. This guy literally knows every detail, so you can tell he's a real enthusiast. I think he might be a little autistic (or just shy) so he comes off as boring -- a lot of successful finance people are like that -- but I still enjoy him as a guest because he's definitely a real car guy.

[@oliverrojas7117]

Thanks. This has to be one of my favorite tested cars. The engine sounds so smooth and being a four cylinder you do not have worry about weight or as as many parts. The engine accessibility is spectacular.

Lancia was always a "ghost" company after the Fiat's acquisition in 1969. All the racing projects developed by the Abarth racing department.

Beautiful. I love the high revving nature of that engine. It sounded fantastic from the outside when he gunned it at the end of the episode. Please don't be hating on the owner, he is just a chilled guy with an awesome car! Nice of him to share it.

[@neutronalchemist3241]

The Scorpion is the American name of the Lancia Beta Montecarlo, that had never been intended to make anyone "believe that it was a version of this car". The Beta Montecarlo, launched in 1975, had simply been the base used by Lancia to develop the Beta Montecarlo Turbo (that won the World Endurance Championship for Manufacturers in 1980 and 1981, beating the Porsche 935) and the 037. The Beta Montecarlo Turbo and the 037, used the same FIAT Twincam engine of the "slow" Beta Montecarlo/Scorpion and of several other FIAT production cars, but obviously with different tuning. That of the Turbo was particularly impressive. With only 1.43 liters displacement, the engine developed 480hp continuous power and 530hp peak power (in an era when the F1 1.5l turbo engines developed slightly more than 600hp, but had to last only for 300km, less than two hours, and often failed to do it).

[@HSRrep]

Absolutely right. Totally different model. They used the centre tub of the Monte Carlo (Scorpion in the US) to base the 037 on but that was visually pretty much it.

[@maxxjettfilms6322]

I have never owned a lancia, but seeing this car makes me want to get one. Also a delta integrale.

[@shaft9000]

You may have to be a savant to maintain it tip-top all by yourself, i reckon. Since merely opening the hood is a two-person job, I shudder to think what else is needed to keep such an exotic machine in good nick all the time. That said, I'd put this in my dream-garage before almost anything else short of a 70's Porsche race car, an Alfa DV (or 33stradale, or the ~'90 SZ), R5 MaxiTurbo, Talbot-Lago SS, Duesenberg or o.g. Bugatti .

It has active suspension, everything you can desire, after 15yrs it looks and drives like a brand New. If you buy Lancia, you're not doing a mistake, you are doing the right thing!

[@jeanjacqueskasel2607]

dear Jay, owning myself a Montecarlo, and the designer, Paolo Martin, being a close friend(he was in charge of the RR Camargue, the Fiat 130 Coupé , the Montecarlo, Ferrari Modulo etc. at Pininfarina), i must say that the Montecarlo was sufficiently powerful for a small 2 seater, it had 120 hp, and only the american version"Scorpion", had 89 hp because of the emission standards.The chassis is excellent, and the looks still today are the ones of an avant garde prototype. i love it.

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

One of my favorite cars. Thanks for explaining part of how good it is. The integrated roll cage is probably an important part of the chassis and could not be deleted even if desired.

[@freshtea228]

well the "cockpit" is just a fiberglass shell, they say it´s a monocoque but it really isn´t

[@paulvanobberghen]

In the 80’s I owned 2 Lancia beta’s. One 1300cc coupé and one 2000cc HPE executive and I loved them. Both 4 cyl twin overheads cam. At that time, the Stradale, loosely derived from the lame, yet great looking, beta Monte-Carlo, was something of a Graal for Lancia’s lovers. I once drove along one on my country Belgium highways, same color red, with a beautiful looking lady driving, I believe the importer of the brand then. What a day that was! I remember a video of one in a rally somewhere taken from the front. The car barely touching the ground, on occasions, almost flying from bumps to bumps. Never saw that again. Too bad the brand Lancia no longer lives. They had such wonderful cars. This one is their last hurrah. Emotional time watching this video. Thanks.

[@hgeths1978]

I was essentially born inside a "Lanc-ee-a" (not "lantsa") Beta coupe in 1978. Days-old it was the first ride of my life when my parents brought me home from the hospital. Its the car that instiled my love for everything with 4 wheels. It was almost as important as my mothers breast milk. Those bucket back seats, man, I still have dreams sitting there and observing the cockpit. The car was bought in 1975 and it was as upgraded as possible. 180hp, rims, exaust, camshafts, extra rally-type head-lamps. Just magnificent to watch in this brown/olive colour. The interior was upholsterd to brown tamba leather. I swear it looked better inside than a Ferrari 208. I never, ever, stopped loving this car. I was literally crying for a week when my dad sold it when I was 6 years old. I never forgave him for that. It was almost like giving away my brother/sister for adoption. I felt crushed. People on Europe still talk about the Delta. For me it looked like a box, and the Integrale was just unattainable and stupid to use everyday... But that Beta...That was a true Lancia.

One of the most lustworthy pieces of automotive art Lancia ever produced. I remember that 1983 WRC Group B season: the Lancia 037 v Audi's Quattro. Amazing year. And Lancia was the underdog with just 2WD compared to the 4WD Audi. And Walter Rohl was a great driver too. There's a retro hommage to this car now: the Kimera 037. What a machine that is

No. In italian, a letter 'c' followed by 'i' is pronounced 'ch' If a 'c' is followed by 'h', it's pronounced 'ki'. So correctly, 'Lancia' is 'Lan cha'. If it was spelt 'Lanchia', it would be pronounced 'Lan key a'. Same goes for 'Lamborghini'. It is a hard 'g' because of the 'h' following it. If there was no 'h', it would be a soft 'g', more like a 'j'. End of grammar lesson....

[@dcanmore]

Jay, I know the guy doesn't want to correct you but the 037 was designed in 1980 while the Scorpion/Montecarlo went on the market in 1975. The Scorpion/Montecarlo was not the road-going version of the 037 but was the parts bin basis for it including the centre tub section hence the similar profile.

Or a Delta S4.

[@raffaelenegroni5888]

Thank you Jay, this car is a true italian masterpiece and it came out from the venerable Lancia. sadly they don,t do cars like this anymore.

[@alexmartinez280]

Dream car! My favorite rally car of all time, an a stunner of a road car. Wow

[@StreetDisciple86]

This guy wasn't the most eccentric guest but he seemed super comfortable, casual, cool knowledgeable. The car is certainly interesting but you can see how far cars have advanced by the amount of things you know should be changed by learning about this cars build. Another great garage guest Jay!

[@scipioafricanus5765]

Now you’re talking ! Love 💖 Italian cars 🇮🇹

[@kota1510]

I love this damn car. Just listen to the doors close😭😭

[@markmorris2465]

Me to man. Definitely in my top 5 dream cars. Its damn near perfect example of what a car should be.

[@michaelp9707]

I love that car it is a rare combination of Muscle car,Import tuner,racecar,high end sports car all wrapped in 1.It sounds amazing.

[@johnmarshall4442]

Nice , I know when I was a kid I had seen this car before , but had forgotten all about it till now . Thanks really enjoyed this show !

[@jazztom86]

I never liked Lancia, until I saw the top gear episode about this very car. One of the best and most emotional episodes they've done. I fell in love with the 037, and now it's one of my absolute favorite cars. It's story is simply great. Check out that Top Gear episode!

[@Zero14u]

I'm in love with the front of this car, it's just sexy, and aggressive

[@Wolfdancer4859]

Thanks to the Grand Tour, I love seeing these Lancia rally cars. The Fulvia, 037, and especially the Delta Integrale.

[@davidcripps3011]

I've watched so many of Leno's Garage and he's always such an approachable guy, seems to have no major ego issues

[@josephkanellopoulos5995]

Great video, and thank you for sharing it. Would it be possible to see a video of the Delta S4?

[@fernandorodrigues1939]

It is a shame Lancia is almost gone now a days... But this is one of the best cas of the 80's.

[@sweetwater2128]

Was fortunate to see one of these at RM Sotheby's in Monterey, Ca last year. Beautiful car

[@domainmojo2162]

What a beauty, yet such an absolute chad of a car! That engine sound... wow!

[@andresdesantiag3079]

Lancia 037 was the last rear wheel drive to win the constructors rallye championship. The 037 stradale was its road version. They had to build 200 of them to be allowed to race with them as groupe B, but the legend says only 100 of them were build and when the. FIA inspector were for checking the production cars, lancia show them 100 before the meal, take the inspector for lunch, and show the same 100 cars in a different parking after the lunch!!

[@pjrebordao]

The Lancia Scorpion was never meant to be a "fake" stradale... It was merely a rebadged Euro Lancia Montecarlo. And it was a real series production car, while the Stradale was built in very small numbers just for homologation purposes.

[@jbforce10]

Yeah, I didn't like his roasting of the MonteCarlo, it was a nice car at the time (and handled ok if you put a sack of gravel in the front boot/trunk). Admittedly the Scorpion model released in the US lacked the stylish rear 3/4 glass buttresses and had rather awkward round headlamps so it lost the sophisticated look of the European model.

[@gregorytimmons4777]

@@jbforce10 Still it was a great looking car. It was not something pretending to be something else as Jay seems to imply. Jay has a lot of knowledge but as his interests are so varied he doesn't know everything about all cars.

[@sarahk173]

additionally the montecarlo was in production years before development of the 037 began - the 037 was based on the montecarlo/scorpion, not the other way around. the 037 only functionally shared the windows/some center components as it was a fully tube framed race car, but the point remains, it's a nice car with a different intention.

[@RB747domme]

160mph top end as well. 0-60 in around 4.9 seconds. This car was quick, with a capital Q. When I was a kid (16-17) I used to see these competing in the Group B rallies on video, with my jaw dropping with envy as I saw the masters of rallying throwing it around at eye-watering speeds on the mountain roads of Europe. Incredible car. And it was a real Porsche killer, and Audi Quattro killer at the Zenith of Lancia racing. I would give my eyeteeth to own one. Lucky boy. Another great episode Jay thank you!

[@robertfish4052]

I was too young at the decade. But it's a mega looking machine. I can see the delta integrale in it. Love it.

[@luggnutz]

What a beautiful automobile, and Jay, I want your job!

[@mountainmandale1587]

Jay always gets a thumbs up from me! I love everything with wheels.

[@greenuniverse837]

wheelchairs?

[@syrthdr09sybr34]

Love how the guy looks so relaxed riding passenger in his own car.

[@seancrowley1065]

There are no other words to describe this car but STUNNING !

[@Studio-IV]

All time favourite design of any car made.

[@pereldh5741]

Ok here we go: When Fiat bought Lancia in 1969 they started the Beta project which used the great Fiat Lampredi twincam in transverse FWD configuration, in 3 different bodystyles. As a spinoff they realized they could use that driveplant in mid-engine config, in a big brother to X1/9 called the X1/20. However they they changed their minds and it was badged as ”Lancia Beta MonteCarlo” in the late 70’s. 2-litre, 120hp it was a frisky little sportscar with great handling. (THIS car was later sold as Scorpione in the US.) Come the 80’s, Fiat/Lancia needed a successor to the aging 131 Abarth in WRC. They took the Beta MonteCarlo (Scorpion) and chopped the front & rear off it, and built the 037 as virtually a new group b rally monster. We can still trace the Monte Carlo doors in it! The engine was instead longitudal mounted and was really the 16V 1995cc from the 131 Abarth, with added supercharger. Ok lesson over, class dismissed.

[@ToreDL87]

The 16v race motors can be traced down to the more "every day" Abarth`s too. Crazy engines, they don`t need much convincing to make enough power to get around. I`ve contemplated acquiring a street oriented 16v out of one Abarth or another, and transplanting it into a Corolla or something.

[@lopakavolmer6723]

but, but - jay insists it's called an x-NINETEEN, because the smell of money has rotted his brain.

[@raymondlonghurst4655]

I have a montecarlo and a beta coupe fantastic cars to own

[@craigpilgrim5793]

Achingly beautiful-pure art!

[@edbighi6786]

The 037 is just a gorgeous thing. That front, that roofline, that rear third, accented by a gorgeous wheel design. I could stare at it for hours.

[@mcmullendiver]

Always got to throw in the old McLaren F1 comparison.

[@richcar3434]

Don't forget, it's also comparable to an F-40!

[@TucsonDude]

Yeah...he does that a lot! I guess we all have our vanities.

[@Scrapla1]

I love Jay's out of date dad jokes and his repeated use of the "good day Mr Bond" while shutting doors and trunks.

[@bingrasm]

I remember Markku Allen sweeping roadside to roadside in Finland with that "macchina" like flying.

[@MrKLindholm]

Its Alen, not Allen. 😊

[@anilnair2911]

Its really great to see the new iteration of lancia 037 Stradale as Kimera EVO37

[@snoogiebug]

Jay: What is it, a five speed transmission? Phil: Yes 3 minutes later Jay: So what is it, a five speed?

[@Screenwriting]

haters gonna hate

[@snoochpounder]

Showing he’s a grandpa after all

[@GewelReal]

What was it again?

[@maxwelsh6121]

He did similar a few times including where the guy said how it was pronounced Zed F transmission and then Jay went on to ask 20 seconds or so later so it's a ZF?

[@matthewheffernan3877]

yeah alzheimer's is strong in Jay in this video
