Lancia 037: Time For Tea?

A tribute vid for the last RWD car to win the WRC because... well, why not?

In Lancia's enviable back catalogue of supreme rally cars, the 037 is arguably less well remembered than its peers. Not as successful as the Delta, as iconic as the Stratos or as pretty as a Fulvia.

But it was the last car to win a World Rally Championship with two-wheel drive. Which is pretty cool. That Lancia beat Audi to the 1983 Constructors' title is all the more remarkable.

Furthermore, while it may lack the incredible beauty of a Fulvia or a Stratos, the 037 remains a very pretty rally car. Imagine the joy of sitting on a stage waiting for this, a Quattro, a 205 T16 and a Ford RS200. Exciting times they must have been, and here's a brief retrospective to celebrate them. There's plenty more if you want to watch them...
