Lancia Delta S4 Fulldetail Kit 1/24 - Model Factory Hiro
About the Delta S4 -
In the late years of Group B competition, the Lancia team decided it
was time to replace the Rally 037 for a more powerful machine in light of
Peugeot and Audi's success with their 4WD. The result was the Delta S4 – an
all wheel drive featuring a 1759cc four cylinder midship-mounted engine,
designed with a unique combination of supercharging and turbocharging that
allowed for a reduction of turbo lag at low RPM.
The S4 debuted in the final 1985 WRC race at RAC Rally, which carried drivers
Henri Toivoven and Markku Alén to a one-two finish. At the first WRC race of
1986 at Monte Carlo Rally Toivenen was able to take first, marking an excellent
start to the 1986 season. However on May 2nd, 1986 at Tour de Course,
Toivonen's S4 went off the road and flew down a ravine on stage 18. The
aluminum fuel tank was ruptured by the trees during the fall and caused an
explosion, marking the death of both Toivonen and his co-pilot Sergio Cresto.
The incident was yet another example of the dangers of Group B, resulting in all
Group B cars to be banned from competition by the FIA, and marked 1986 as the
final year of Group B.
