This time the car is making the music. Most cars have a gas pedal, this Lancia has a loud pedal, pushing the pedal makes the car faster and much, much louder.
and Top Gear the opinion
The Stratos won the World Rally Championship three times.
Lancia developed its 4WD Group B Rally race car a few years later. The Delta Integrale won the World Rally Champion six years in a row. A Suburu WRX is just a clone, this is the original 4 door, 4 cylinder, 4WD turbo Supercar. This small car company not only beat Ford Cosworth, Audi Quattro and Porsche Carrera RS, they won event-after-event, year-after-year, until Group B rules were changed. Trying to keep up, Group B Rally cars become so fast and dangerous, that it became known as Killer Bee. In total, the four evolutions of the Lancia Delta won 46 World Championship rallies, and Lancia’s run of six consecutive manufacturers’ titles remains a record
