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

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...
