Historical background and use

The Lancia 037 was constructed by the Italian brand Lancia specifically for Group B competition. It was used mainly by the factory Lancia Martini Racing team. Its debut came in the 1982 season, and the car won the manufacturers' title in 1983. The 1986 version of the model, referring to the Rally Portugal, commemorates the last entries of the Lancia 037 before Group A was introduced in the WRC. The vehicle was famous for its lightness, excellent handling, and characteristic mid-mounted engine. It is a symbol of Italian design and world-class engineering, and one of the last licensed rear-wheel-drive rally cars.
