The S4 is gopping. The other Deltas were lovely though.
205 T16 is a little beast, and the Quattros were ace.
As for track stuff, CSLs are where it's at:

And crews too. Wasn't it one of the Lancias going off with the death of at least one crew that really shut the book on Group B?

Isn't that the Celica with the trick valves to bypass the restrictor?

No, that was the model-year after, the ST205. The ST185 (above) won plenty without cheating
The trick was pretty cool though, ti was actually a restrictor mover which pushed the restrictor out of the way allowing more air to bypass it but only when the engine was bolted up together, so it was very hard to spot normally.

Dad had three uR Quattros, the last one a full Treser conversion (very 80s but very good). He nearky got a Quattro Sport (the short one for rallying) but mum put her foot down - dammit! Great cars!

I got to see Group C sports cars at Silverstone last year. Amazing sound and only approx 2s a lap slower than that years F1 race.

They took the Lancia S4 to Estoril back in the day. It would have placed 6th on the F1 grid if it were eligible...

And of course the best looking F1 cars ever both happen to be Lotuses!

If you're going to do the Group Bs justice, then you can't forget this!

Sorry.. craziest racing car ever..
Porsche 917.
Still holds records today. It was so powerful it scared the sh*t out of most of the top drivers of the day. Many refused to drive it.
EDIT: I think it still holds the record for being the fastest and most powerful series racing car built.

I'd love one of those Deltas, but have you seen the new ones? Now that's really "gopping"!
There's one here, but I'm not spoiling the thread with it: http://www2.diariomotor.com/imagenes/nuevo_lancia_delta_02.jpg

GTFOOH! A very successful rally car, driven by many of the top drivers of the time. After initial problems in 92 it wiped the floor with the competition.

Celicas are now chaviots of the lowest order. No matter what the won, I hate them.
