Having Fun With The Monster | Lancia 037 Group B
3Lancia 037 Group B Rally Car
Like the silhouette racer, the Rally 037 shared just its centre section with the Montecarlo, the rest being purpose-designed for the new Group B rallying regulations of the early 1980s. A collaboration between Lancia, Abarth, Pininfarina and Dallara it was radically different from the road car and its predecessor the Stratos. Its 2.0-litre, four cylinder engine was mounted longitudinally for better weight distribution and supercharged, eventually producing 325PS and propelling a car weighing less than a tonne.
Introduced in 1982, the 037 failed to win any championship rounds in a season plagued with retirements but did show its pace and racked up some victories in non-WRC scoring events. The 1983 season was very different however, despite the fact that the rear-wheel drive 037 was now up against the game changing all-wheel drive Audi Quattro. Walter Röhrl and Markku Alén took five victories between them, handing Lancia the constructors’ title – the last for a rear-wheel-drive car. Röhrl was narrowly beaten to the drivers’ title by Audi’s Hannu Mikkola after missing the last round of the season.
