Description
Sonoma Classic Motorcars and our new world-wide brokerage Riviera MotorSports located in the Marina de Cascais Portugal is proud to present the fully restored 1982 Lancia 037 Group B Rally car 1 of only 217. The image posted in the advert is for representation purpose only. Images, chassis, engine number and FIA supporting documents will be provided upon request.
The Lancia 037 was developed with help from Fiat Group's Abarth and Italian design studio Pininfarina, which also styled the original Montecarlo road car. Just the central tub was taken from the Montecarlo; each end of the tub was fitted with a custom tube frame to mount an optimized double A-arm independent suspension system, with twin shock absorbers in the rear. The 2. 0-liter Fiat Group Lampredi twin-cam inline-four engine was mounted longitudinally in the 037, and fitted with a supercharger developed by Abarth that was based on the production Volumex unit used in some road-going Fiats and Lancias. The widened bodywork was made of Kevlar composite, and the requisite 200 road cars for homologation were fairly easily built by Pininfarina and Abarth. The homologated road-going version was officially called the Lancia Rally 037 Stradale (stradale meaning "street" in Italian). Just 217 Lancia 037s were built between 1982 and 1984
