Based off of a Lancia Montecarlo platform, their rear-wheel-drive 037 competed fiercely with Audi’s mighty all-wheel-drive Quattro, and in 1983 Lancia took the manufacturers title.
With a goal to create an attainable, reliable, and maintainable group-B replica, this client project is likewise based off of a Lancia Montecarlo with a complete cage and tube chassis. With an ironic twist, power is by way of an Audi 1.8T redesigned with a supercharger in place of a usual turbo. A twin disc clutch allows power through a 5-speed gearbox. Other major parts are Maserati based or completely custom fabricated including a number of modern design upgrades. The bodywork is a mix of Fibreglass and Kevlar provided from Italy. Now complete with programmable fuel injection and PDM, modern suspension by Intrax, and Italian sourced authentic 3-piece wheels.
The project began in February of 2025 and was delivered in February of 2026.
