This was SOO much fun to drive! Where would you take this Group B monster?? 👇

[@NielsHeusinkveld]

Everywhere. Great video! I'm not jealous, not at all. Nope. 🙂

[@dusankocisevic6823]

Just keep it far away from Corsica.. DELTA BOYS FOREVER🇫🇮🇮🇹

[@vinniedixon1140]

Only the Italians could go full mental by putting on a supercharger and a turbo. Audi revolutionised rallying, but Lancia perfected it. Incredible that a Delta S4 sold for over a million dollars in 2019. Jodie I have to say that I was turning green with envy watching you drive that car, soooooooooooooooo jealous.

[@giovmari]

It's the obvious need at low rpm to have an immediate response in power

[@SuperHoggster]

As a rally aficionado and Group B in particular, this is the peak of Engineering. 1.8l engine, supercharged and turbocharged and the Lancia Engineers managed to wring out nearly 500bhp from the thing and a sub 3 second 0-60. Have to say, Jodie, I’m instantly jealous.

[@stefdem1533]

In test trim 1004 HP with turbo at 5 bar pressure, could keep up with F1 with track setup/aero on slow tracks

[@sometimesidreamaboutcheese]

Yeah, and Alen drove a healthy ~750hp during the end of 1986 season.

[@stefdem1533]

[@MD-sl3he]

I was in my mid teens when the gorgeousness of Group B arrived and later in the 80's I would go on to study and become a vehicle technician. I think I was smiling as much as you were watching this with those unmistakable sounds. An era I miss so very much ❤

[@antoniorondon4948]

I hope you know that for an Italian, an old Lancia fan, to see you get in and drive the Delta S4 triggers the highest level of 'envy' in a good, automotive sense. Wonderful car, incredible and unmistakable 'sound'. Wonderful video. GRAZIE !!!!

[@CarTractionvids]

Who doesn't love a turbo and a supercharger?! Fantastic car that eptiomises the Group B era

[@alunjones2550]

Fond memories of marshalling on the Lombard RAC when these things were rallying. Without question, Group B is the greatest era of any motorsport.

I had the privilege of seeing this asphalt monster on the Sintra stages, what a thrill! The sound of this engine gave me goosebumps. Henri Toivonen was my favorite driver, I stopped following rallies after the fateful day he left us.

[@yetijohn80]

From the era of when Motorsport was a pure thrill. I traveled all over watching it. Now I don't even bother.

[@flat4-]

Same here, after GrA and early WRC's I lost intrest....

[@clivewilliams3661]

I am an avid rally fan but today I can't be bothered to watch WRC. The Regs have become incomprehensible to satisfy the 'Green' agenda and all the cars look the same, especially in their version of urban camouflage. At least in historic rallying, which is equally exiting, the various cars are instantly identifiable. In Group B when the shackles of development were off, each manufacturer came up with a different solution - Audi Sport, Austin Metro 6R4, Ford RS 200, Lancia S4, Peugeot T16 etc.

[@flat4-]

[@bluebritten]

What an experience, something you'll never forget. Amazing.

[@plamenkaraivanov3807]

Toivonen recorded 0-100 km/h in 2.8 seconds in this monster in tests in Spain. This was faster then an F1 car at the time and it was not on track but on a gravel road :) Still scares the sh*t of anyone who touches it, the absolute pinnacle of the Group B madness...

[@chrisblay]

That looked like a pretty raw (and fun) experience. Great sound as well.

[@TheLRider]

I'm not jealous honestly. 😂 Waaaw. The Group B car of all Group B cars. I absolutely love the Delta S4s. Brilliant Italian engineering at its very pinnacle.

[@KiddinaSweetShop]

It's THE car of the era.

[@philbaldasera4742]

Fantastic. I think this is Markku Allen's 86 RAC car (?). I worked in a bar in Harrogate opposite the exhibition Hall where scruntineering took place and Markku Alen, Juha Kankkunen, Penti Airikkala, Timo Salonen and Stig Blomquist all came in for a beer! I was soooo star struck. Lucky enough to see this car, and many many others, at Rudding Park and Harewood special stages, never forget it! Jodi does, as always, a fabulous job!!! Thanks...

[@grotesmurf1]

Jodi you have to pinch yourself, driving this car is one of the things I still got on my bucket list, so special, so much more rarer than a Ferrari this is an absolute weapon of a car. Only a few were made and your driving one, you lucky girl! Hats off to Max that he let you drive this icon and trust you with it, but looking at your face and listening to your comment it was a blast, and I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Please keep those amazing vids coming and can't wait for the next one.

[@benpenagonzales6014]

How awesome is that. As an 80s kid, my dad went out and bought a brand new ‘85 205 GRD after watching the 205 T16. Which is still my first lottery win car.

[@user-vo9pn3sn1x]

What a machine; the sound quality is excellent. Just imagine what it would be like with Henri Toivonen driving it, it looks quite tricky to drive, so one can only imagine the ability he must have had! On long rally stages in the dark it must have been exhausting to drive with crowds of people either side.

[@Gonzoman77]

And at Kimera-Automobili they have now installed an all-wheel drive in the 037! Apart from the silhouette, it is basically a Delta S4! 👍✌️

[@mikeatcora]

A rare beast on the streets, many years ago they ran a stage of the Lombard RAC Rally through Wigan and I got caught between some of the cars in my old Cortina on the road stage, I remember Ari Vatanen being at the side of me at traffic lights, I'm sure he drove a Delta at some point.

[@verdeboyo]

I remember seeing the Delta S4 in rallycross after the banning of GpB rally cars and the BHP was increased. I don't know how the GrB boys and girl (Mouton) kept them going in the right direction on the loose stuff, let alone tarmac stages. Awesome👍🏻 Thanks for this and more JK❤

[@paulsmith2516]

Love the video as the Delta is my 2nd fave Group B car behind the 6R4, just coz my first car was a rubbish old 1981 Metro that I drove like a rally car lol. I have to say though that car was 100% NOT street legal as there wasn't a number plate anywhere on it. Put it's plates on and THEN it's legal.

[@VascoDanielNunes-hq8iw]

Pure living the dream Jodie, all good Lancia's and Alfa's should frighten the life out of you. Nothing beats Italian car madness

[@clivewilliams3661]

All rally cars have to be street legal, whether they are a production saloon or a Group B car or now a WRC car, otherwise they wouldn't be able to get from stage to stage. One point to note is that in the S4 the straight alloy fuel tank was located under the driver's seat and that was reported as contributing to Toivanen's death that saw the end of Group B. The other contributing factor was the alloy roll cage that actually burnt in the intense fire

[@gregorydobson4307]

[@julianhoskins5158]

The whining noise it makes is the supercharger at the lower rpm range, that is less at higher rpm because a special clutch system disengages the super charger and the turbo charger takes over at the higher rpm!

[@LK0_]

These cars are something else, sure modern cars are more capable, but with these old school beasts, YOU are the conductor of a rag tag orchestra in charge of giving a world class symphony orchestration performance, get it right and its spot on.
