Many former WRC champions have a good collections, like Juha Kankkunen have all the group B era cars, tho he recently sold turbo 205 and Audi S 1 evo, but it left good collection still, like S4 which Alen drove in RAC and Biasion in San Remo, the car is next to chassis number which Toivonen had in his S4, so basically same car .

Kind of agree in terms of engineering with the Twincharger and the AWD, but as a Lancia fan, i admit the car was the most UGLY thing ever rallying, awful x1000 million, and it almost didn't look as the stradale S4, which was quite beautiful. honesty the regulations back then were Hillarious, there was nothing from the original omologation shape.

Being Irish myself, I know how passionate and knowledgeable we are about rallying, the guy is very cool, really knows his cars and wants to share his passion with others. This particularJolly Club Totip Delta S4 was always my favourite, it was 2nd in the 1986 Rally Sanremo. It’s so good to see the car preserved and more importantly used. It’s still in its tarmac spec because it only raced once in San Remo which is a Tarmac Rally and he obviously wants it to remain as it was when raced!

This guy is fantastic. He has the utmost respect for those cars, and still drives them as they were intended. I do hope he has a rally beater though.

[@Mgoblagulkablong]

Lancia Delta S4 was as quick as an F1 car of its time, 1985 they did a rally stage on a racetrack (Brand's Hatch) F1 raced on the same year and the Delta S4 got a time equal to mid field F1 cars, absolutely insane.

[@DropkickNation]

And all of that with a car not designed to be fast in the same way F1 cars were.

[@theant9821]

Evidence of this? Sounds quite fanciful to me, 1986 was the most powerful year for the turbo era F1 cars and 85 was 2nd most powerful year, they were far more powerful, far more lightweight and far more downforce. (1987 was when 4 bar the boost limit was introduced, 1988 it was changed to 2.5 bar)

[@posniknelb6114]

Never happened I'm afraid, just a myth. No way it could've beat an 80s F1 car in 85 or 86. Even the slowest cars weighed less than 600kg with 700 to 800bhp and tons of downforce. The S4 is incredible in its own right, it might've kept up with an F1 car to 60 mph because of 4 wheel traction, but that's were it would end.

[@GiampietroDiSanto]

​@@theant9821It is TRUE that a Lancia S4 was tested on a F1 circuit. It was in Estoril, Portugal (not Brand's Hatch). The test took place in March 1986. Toivonen went there to test the ultimate version for the season with the following specs: ~560 HP, 450 Nm of torque, 950 kgs of weight, 2.2 turbocharge bars (its maximum). Now this is all true and registered. But since it was a private test there's no officially recognized lap time. The rumours started spreading many years later when a Lancia mechanic who was present at the testing said that "Henri was so fast that he would have ended up in the F1 top ten in the last GP there". For the records, the 1985 Portuguese F1 GP was wet, in the rain. So it's very possible in theory that he could be in the top ten coz F1 had raced in the wet while he did the test in the dry. Anyway the story was modified so wildly throughout the years that the truth was buried under myths and legends.

[@Chris_Brah]

Not a single person has mentioned Stig Blomqvist, so I will...

[@teabagmcpick889]

There's a very good reason why nobody has mentioned Mr. Blomqvist & that is because he was never a Lancia works driver & had absolutely nothing to do with the S4. The only time he ever competed in a Lancia was a privately entered Stratos in the '78 Swedish. He was a Saab stalwart & latterly an Audi development driver who kept Mikkola et al honest, especially in snow. He also drove Ford, Peugeot, Mitsubishi, Skoda & Nissan. What he did not do was drive an S4.

I'd love to own a GpB car, but (forgetting the money for a moment), my driving could never do it justice. The car would need to go to a decent rally driver with the skills to use the car properly.
