Audi used to have balls, racing in the second reich colors.
Oh yeah, they’re still trying what with gassing the monkeys and all but it’ll never be the same
>covering best car with another one
>Corolla
>Never offered with a 3S-GTE
>Never offered with 4wd
not best
The one and only.

bug corollas were cute
Do hillclimb cars count?
*blocks your path*
I hate the bugeye
COLLIN BE THY NAME
Evos are great too. As a scooby man myself I gotta say that Evos can outperform a WRX/STI any day of the week (provided they're OEM).
I want to believe
I really hate the looks of modern hatchback rally cars. You think they're ever going to make new models primarily for rallying ever again?
my fucking nigger!!
came to post the glorious 240rs

The supreme square machine
the fuck is going on with that window
By virtue of being on actual roads, rallying pushes "road relevant" more than any other form of professional motorsport. Plus by virtue of being on narrow roads and relatively low speed, turbocharged hatchbacks with AWD are fairly optimal anyways. The wildest rally cars ever built with the least restrictive rules were hatchbacks with the engine in the back.
idk but it somehow works
I guess what I meant is, is it likely that we will ever see vehicles created for rallying and then homologated? AFAIK all current rally cars are just souped up preexisting models
Don't count on it, unless the FIA magically drop dead sometime in the near future.
That was pretty fucking rare to start with, only the Stratos and RS200 fully fit that description.
actually there are japan only 4wd corollas
mmmm
Yes.
was hoping someone would post this
Also 037
This is the first car that came in mind.
>I guess what I meant is, is it likely that we will ever see vehicles created for rallying and then homologated?
All of these crazy cars had a run of few road-going ones because of FIA requirements of your rally car being based on an existing production model. And production model was defined as releasing something like ~200 cars to the public.
With current safety standards and emission standards for road cars it's not possible. So you get the smallest hatchback you offer, you slap a big fucking turbo on it, give it decent suspension, stiffen up the body and call it a day.
Besides modern rally cars even the slowest ones are still a lot faster instead of times than the 500hp+ monsters of the B group. And times is all that matter. Sliding for no reason on tarmac is a waste of time.
ahm.... hm....
Gentlemen...
206 is literally my favourite car of all time. £200 off autotrader and you just rag it down country lanes until the head gasket goes.
THIS
Do you like me now, dad?!
80's - 90's were the golden years.
It'll never be that good again.
Current year is alright imho
Going to leave this here in case anybody cares about this kind of stuff youtube.com
The 037 is a Group B homologation version of the Montecarlo
they have a yaris hothatch now
yes but they had to produce 200 road legal 037 under the name Lancia Rally for the homologation.
Sadly half of them were then converted into rally cars by private teams, so the road legals are very rare.
delta s4
there is a disturbing lack of that little beauty in this thread
Throwing in 3 of my favourites that have, tragically, not been mentioned.
Toyota 222D
>Power was reported to be around 600 BHP for all versions and up to 750 BHP was claimed to be available. The dry/unladen weight of the rear wheel drive version of the 222D was claimed to be around 750 KG (1650 lbs) which, paired with the 750 BHP, would give it an insane 1 kilogram per horsepower figure.
1/3
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhholy SHIT!
Ford RS1700T
>Ford appointed a new motorsport director, Stuart Turner, who would scrap all the plans for the RS1700T in favour of developing a brand new car from scratch. For the Ford RallyeSport team, this meant losing over two years of hard work on the RS1700T (of which 18 prototypes were already built). This prompted much frustration within the Boreham bunch. However, not all efforts were in vain as many of the RS1700T’s features would carry over to the new car, including the Cosworth BDT unit (the 200 homologation engines were already built) that went on to power the replacement car, the now famous RS200. It is easy to argue that, if not for the new four wheel drive standard, the RS1700T would have definitely been one of the main cars to beat in the WRC.
Datsun Fairlady 240z
>Nissan entered the 1971 Safari Rally with four Datsun 240Z series cars. The 240Z, which was powered by a 5-speed, straight-six L24 OHC engine, became popular among spectators because of its incredible performance. The No. 11 Datsun 240Z, driven by Herrman and Schuller, won the Over-all Victory, Class Victory, Team Victory and Manufactures Championship. Nissan became the first company to win back-to-back victories in all three categories. Herrman and Schuller became the first team to win back-to-back over-all victories.

There was always something unique and special about this cars looks. It will always remain iconic to me since I grew up watching WRC then and playing rally videogames.
to be fair I love the 2nd gen punto just because of this shit. Whenever I see one on the streets I instantly think of it going sideways in the woods.
Rally as advertising at it's finest.
hella desu my nigga
...?
I've always loved these two, I've genuinely considered buying the road version, but realized it's not anywhere close to the rally one and just an economic soymobile.
I'd own one of those if it had ever been offered that way from the factory.
There is the Focus RS at least, 206 is pure commuter shitbox though.
Looks like a john deere
>American rally
It would've been the next Stratos. Why did group B have to go away?
That's a Group S car though.
Oh, my mistake. I see ridiculous and my mind jumps to Group B.
Group S was supposed to be a replacement to Group B (but then they both got cancelled). They tried to slow things down and one way was to limit the crazy aero of Group B, hoping that less downforce would do that.
Hey here's a Group S RX-7.
>Why did group B have to go away?
We've gone over this thousands of times. It was dangerous for drivers because the cars were extremely powerful and teams would cheat out of safety inspection, there was no supervision for spectators and it became extremely dangerous for them as the cars continuously increased in power and the crowds got larger.
It also began to threaten the popularity of F1 at the time and the FIA wouldn't have any of that.
Sorry God passing by
Nitrous injected ground effect cars on single track roads with spectators trying to touch them.
Needed more publicity ;)
Rhetorical question, boys.
thats a Pikes Peak Hillclimb car you fucking idiot.
Slow gay shitboxes but you ought to get where they came from.
Triggered :)

Veeky Forums is an anime imageboard
Go back.
patrician, ive always loved the looks of these things even the standard ones, if i had 15k in britbongbux id buy a mk1 RS in a heart beat and give it some rally treatment.
im thinking of getting a poverty spec mk1 to turn into an amateur rally car too if i can figure out how to enter an amateur rally
Veeky Forums is for the normies. Pls leave cartoon watching manchildren
The best.
that is one hell a confusing paintjob
are soylents defending their pedoshit again?
I think this car is fucking ugly honestly. It was a madman machine but the headlights alone make me want to puke.
rip henry.
tfw same first name as him
No, its a completely different machine than the beta MonteCarlo
Different body, different design, different everything.
Same as the S4, despite being called delta s4 its not a delta in the slightest way
