glacial arch
Lancia - ECV 1: This prototype was designed to compete in Group S rally, which was a kind of Group B but a little less extreme, with the end of the group and with fear of more fatal accidents, this group was canceled.
Lancia ECV 2: This was derived from the creation of the ECV1 that was dismantled after it did not achieve the desired results in the tests carried out by Lancia.
Here is another from Group S, Audi Sport Quattro RS 002, as said Walter Rohrl was very surprised by the behavior of the car in the private tests given by Audi highlighting the Aerodynamics
Lada S- Proto Rally Group S:
Planned to debut in 1988 after the Group B replacement was announced, Group S had the absurd rule of only making 10 homologation vehicles this in an attempt to attract more manufacturers, this car was built only as a prototype but is said to I would have been a decent contender
||Putin likes this||
Ford - rs200s Group S: this prototype, identical to its "brother" of Group B, was characterized by having a lighter body, made of more advanced materials for the time.
Another car of the extinct Group S
Toyota MR2 222D: After the creation of the Group S Toyota was announced, it decided to go crazy since the regulation only required that there be 10 homologation car

You can see this was before it had the aerodynamics we've come to know it for.
The 'snowplow' is only a little lip, and a temporary, experimental wing crosses the rear window.
It's much closer to the homologation model in this state.

That makes a lot of sense, actually. I was wondering why the box-truck had an 037 lid in the back.
Perhaps it wasn't on-site at the time of the filming, though. I imagine it would have been parked somewhere.

Seeing as that's like what happened with the ECV 1 and 2, I wouldn't be surprised.

I find it entertaining that even with a dramatic aerodynamic revamp, they kept the chrome grille.
It's like it was the one thing keeping the car from being more of a prototype than a GT car.
Which, in retrospect, practically was the case.

I think Volkswagen's early efforts in rally need attention.
The Golf rally cars did very well in the Eighties and Nineties.
lean hatch
Never knew the Golf did rallying
tacit nest
For a long time, even today, Golfs were great starter cars. Throughout North America and Europe, you see them entered in two or front-wheel-drive categories.
The highest the Golf got in regards to professional rally was F2, with a dedicated kit car.
lean hatch
Ooh. Normally I would see Golfs used for hillclimb racing.
tacit nest
It makes total sense, really. If you want to get into four-wheel-drive rally classes, you'll likely get a WRX. If you want to get into two or front-wheel-drive classes, you'll likely get a Fiesta.
- And of course, the Golf and Fiesta are not far from one-another.
They're easily affordable and available, when you need replacement parts.
Why Volkswagen hardly ever capitalized with official entries is beyond me.
umbral sparrow
Yes, replacement parts for golfs are easy to find
tacit nest
Volkswagen's factory-supported rallying history is really only defined by the F2 Golf, Rally 1 Polo, and R5 Polo.

The Kiss of Death. It depicts the moment in which Mexican film actor Linda Christian kisses Spanish driver Alfonso de Portago at a brief stop during the 1957 Mille Miglia race. Few moments after this photo. Alfonso de Portago crashed while taking a curve at 240km/h in Guidizzolo, Cavriana. Killing himself and 9 spectators (which 5 of them were children). Over the years, it has become one of the most renowned photographs of kisses and a symbol of young audacity and passion. The magazine Life gave fame to the photograph after it published it in its May 1957 issue, under the title "Death finally takes a man who courted it".
