DESCRIPTION
The world of rallying was changed forever on January 1st 1982 with the introduction of the new Group B rules. These virtually gave manufacturers carte blanche to design the fastest car they could for world rally special stages, so long as they built at least 200 identical examples. This is the story of Lancia's mid-engined, supercharged rally car. The reader is taken from initial thinking about the car and conception, through development to the full history of its rallying lifetime with the help of the car designer and chief engineer, Ing Sergio Limone. Featuring many of Limone's own photographs during development, and interviews with team members. Illustrated with 250 stunning and rare rally action photos.
If one Lancia has gained cult status it must surely be the Delta HF Integrale. It’s about time someone told the story of this thrilling, innovative car. This book covers the cars' exceptional rally success as well as it’s appeal as a road car. It provides all the relevant information on the evolution of the ‘ordinary Delta’ into the powerful, technically complex and aggressive racing machine which consistently won the World Rally Championship from 1987 to 1992. 400 spectacular photographs, full Rally results listings and exhaustive technical specifications make this book a must for any Rally fan.
