Your sexiest rally car ever
 

In a similar way that was proposed the topic "the sexiest touring car ever" id like to get your opinion of what have been your sexiest rallying car ever(weve got a huge list of cars that started rallying by private drivers from the beginning of sixties till the current cars under the WRC specifications

Its a very difficult choise for me, as it will be for many forum members.....there you go though my favourite rallying car ever

- the martini sponsored 1986 Lancia Delta S4

ford focus colin mcrea version...

BP focus

Lancia Stratos, or maybe the Mk1 Escort....the Integrale was beautiful too for that matter.

Martini Lancia Delta Integrale by far..........


elio

hmmm all rally cars are butt ugly. If i was going for the sexiest though it has to be the impreza with the power buldge and curvy body

all lancia's rally car are beautiful, but i especially like the 037 and then the integrale, other choices include the current Ford Focus and peugeot 206.

Lancia Stratos and Ford Escort Cosworth

Pure history

the sexiest of them all. the peugeot 205 T16 group B rally car:

edit: added images

The Stratos of course , it looks like a supercar , which the others dont

Lancia Stratos is the sexiest visually,
Audi Quattro is sexy because it was so competant
and Renault Alpines (which were not renaults at all) were pretty

honestly, i have thought the current Subaru impreza WRC is the best looking... but besides that, the lancia delta integrale, and the Audi Quattro are my personal favorites... i might have liked the RS200 more if it had some real heritage behind it...

1. Lancia Stratos

2. Ferrari 308 GTB Michelotto

3. Lancia 037
http://www.carsfromitaly.com/lancia/...cia037_800.jpg

Definitely. Nothing to add.

For me the Lancia Stratos and the Lancia 037
________
R/T

:shock:
Marlboro Evo 6 and 7
555 Subaru WRX Impreaza STI

Probably the subaru, the new one, don''t have a clue why :)

Thanks a million for the pics, i enjoyed observing the red porsche 911SC, and the marlboro sponsored Lancia Stratos

http://subtle.org/se/pictures/cars/r...cky%20Ickx.jpg

Rothmans 1986 Porsche 959 Paris Dakar rally car...

Simply the best porsche car ever in the best rally ever...a great combination

Thanks a million for the pics....it was a bit of shame that porsche didnt decide to launch this car on the world rallying championship in 1986(against a large number of serious rivals, such as Peugeot, Lancia, Audi, Ford), im sure that the car would have been capable of finishing regularly the rallyes on the podium, and it would have been a serious contender of the Acropolis rally, and favourite for me to win the safari Rallye. At least we had the chance to see the car on the Paris Dakar

ST205 GT4 Grp A 8)

The Lancia Delta Integrale :D

I think it was more of a my-4-wheel-drive-system-is-better-than-yours kind of car, since they were really testing the 4x4 for future use (did I hear carrera4 and cayenne???^)

I'm not a huge rally fan, but I love the Colin Mcrea Focus.

Rallying is my favourite motorspor and next year i am starting it myself in a peugeot 205 :)

personally i think that ever rally car made looks amazing but i am a bit Ford WRC fan and dont like the idea that they might not be in it next year :(

I think that my favourite classic rally car would have to be the stratos or the Audi Quattro.

http://www.ibiblio.org/tkan/audi/quattro.jpg

It was difficult to make a decision of which are the sexiest. I just like the styling of rallycars in general. But this is my top 5 of sexiest rallycars:

1. Peugeot 205 T16 EVO1
2. Ford Escort RS Cosworth
3. Subaru Impreza WRC 2000
4. Ford Focus WRC03
5. Audi Quattro

I think that my favourite classic rally car would have to be the stratos or the Audi Quattro.

:D YES the only car that could be called sexy, The Godfather of Rally

The Cossie, the Stratos and the 307CC

Sexy cars!

Lancia Integrale
Metro 6r4
Mini Cooper S (4 time Monte Carlo Champion!!)

I love a lot of rally cars. Just a few of them:

Lancia Stratos,
Lancia Delta Integrale,
Ford RS200,
Subaru Impreza 2000
and Skoda Fabia

the Citroen Xsara

maybe not the new one, but close enough
http://www.supercars.net/cars/2003@$...T4%20WRCx.html

The new Subaru impreza. And definately the first audi quattro.

I agree with mustang on this matter :)

you agree with yerself eh :roll:


:lol: you're a chutney ferret

new wrx
 

new subaru is hot got the looks and when on tarmac can't get any better.

There's the chutney ferret words again :lol:
i also just remembered something the Porsche 959

I've got it!

The Group B rally car that never rallyed...

288 GTO Evoluzione!!!!!!
http://www.barchetta.cc/Common/Image....70205.001.jpg
http://www.barchetta.cc/Common/Image....70205.002.jpg

hmmm never knew that

for me impreza 555

1. Lancia Stratos - An easy one this, always loved it especially in Alitalia colours.
http://www.rallyclubattiliobettega.i...ratos%2018.jpg

2. Alpine A110 - A close second for the small french car partially down the the noise of the Lancia's glorious Ferrari V6.
http://www4.ocn.ne.jp/~a110/gallery/img/1600vd.jpg

3. Lancia 037 - Last of the beautiful rally cars, they got way too masculine to be sexy after this!
http://digilander.libero.it/scolopen...ria/037dav.jpg

Umm....I think the Evoluzione was part of the Group B sportsracers, not the Groupe B rally cars. There were several different classifications of sports racers including Group B and Group C prototype racers.

99 Subaru Impreza WRC
Porsche 959
Lancia 037 and Integrale
Focus WRC is nice too

Not true it was never especially designed for the Group B's

sure ferrari were thinking about it but they never made any special plans to get it in group B even though they could of


the mein reason for the 288 was a stepping stone to the F40 :)

anyway back on subject it has to be the focus WRC from recent years

Lancia Stratos, had the best lines for a rally car and then these showed up wich are pretty sleek looking if you can use that word.
Focus WRC
Impreza STi
and the 206 wich is like a slightly faster Focus


But ugly would be that new 307! what the hell were they thinking?

I agree with the Focus WRC, but the impreza? It doesnt really look very sleek IMHO. Lancia is definitely in a class of its own.

hey if we're talking ugly rally cars too, I nominate the audi S1

http://img31.exs.cx/img31/8816/audirally.th.jpg

might not be the best looking but its still one of the greatest rally cars ever
