can't believe they did'nt show the S4 that was a bonkers car ever by lancia standards.
Yeah I was a bit gutted at that too. I suppose that whilst it might have been the most technologically advanced car in Lancias history, the early death of Group B and the relative lack of success of the S4 (and the fact that WAY less than the 200 of them claimed were made) meant it was probably much easier for the TG team to gloss over it than to feature it… Sadly!
Glad the 037 got a bit of airtime as it's often much overlooked too, the fact it could keep up with, and beat the Audi Quattro was amazing! Integrale was just way ahead of its time, hence how good it was. I mean, look at the competition. Ford were trying to compete with a bloody great saloon car, Toyota's Celica was still way too big til the mid 90's and Lancia had signed all the best drivers… No way they could fail!
Still love the Stratos more so than any other Rally Car ever, what a machine. I'm so glad they featured the Hawk too, ok it's a kit car, but has there ever been another kit car that looks quite so spot on to the original I don't think. Honestly, you couldn't tell them apart from the outside I reckon. Just need to get a reliable build together, with a decent engine (hello 3.2 V6 out of a 156 GTA! And am I the only person that thinks the V6 in the Hawk sounded decidedly poorly, like it was running on less than 6 cylinders?) and WOW! GIMME GIMME GIMME… 😛
Oh, and Chris Evans, mere amateur car nut compared to Brian Johnson fetching the Sunday papers in his Le Mans Blower Bentley, and Jay Leno picking up undercover cops in his MacLaren F1!
