Before 1,000+ horsepower hypercars... there was Group B Rally.
These machines weren't just fast, they were completely unhinged.
🏁 Audi Sport Quattro S1 helped make AWD the gold standard in rallying. Its turbocharged inline-5 became one of the most recognizable engine sounds in motorsport history.
🏁 Ford RS200 featured a mid-engine layout, all-wheel drive, and near-perfect weight distribution. It was built solely to dominate Group B.
🏁 Lancia Delta S4 was perhaps the wildest of them all. It used both a supercharger and a turbocharger (twincharging) to eliminate turbo lag, producing explosive acceleration on loose surfaces.
These cars became legends not only because of their performance, but because Group B pushed engineering and drivers to the absolute limit. Unfortunately, the class was eventually banned after a series of fatal accidents involving both drivers and spectators.
If you could take one home today, which would it be?
For me? It's the Audi Quattro S1. That turbo inline-5 soundtrack is automotive perfection.
