Vehicle Description

To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION at RM Sothebys' Essen event, 11 - 12 April 2019. Estimate: €450.000 - €550.000 Highly original with under 2,200 km from new Accompanied by its original books and tools One of only 200 Stradales ever built Lancia's iconic Group B homologation Special The 1980s went down in history as one of the most extreme and exciting eras in motor racing. Racing vehicles were producing insane amounts of power: from F1 to motorcycle GP racing, everything was thrilling to drive and required immense concentration and skill from the drivers. Perhaps the most radical series of this era was Group B rallying: dominated by cars with insane amounts of power racing down tight dirt-roads, it was surely a spectacle to see in its time. In this era, it was a feast for homologation specials: from Renault 5 Maxi Turbo to Audi's S1 Quattro to Lancia's own 037. Perhaps the most famous of them all is the Delta S4 Stradale: if you're looking for the ultimate homologation special, look no further than this Turinese beast. Developed jointly by Abarth and Lancia, it was a sensation: powered by Eng. Lombardi's 1.8-litre four-cylinder that was both supercharged and turbocharged, it was a formidable fighter in racing trim, putting out no less than 500 bhp. The S4 was also Lancia's first four-wheel drive vehicle, implementing three differentials of which one is a viscous central differential that splits the torque at the 30% front and 70% rear. In order to satisfy homologation requirements, Lancia built no more than 200, with notable hardships to sell them: as by the end of the 1990s, some of them were still languishing in showroom deposits! A true time capsule, this 1985 Delta S4 Stradale has covered only 2,196 km in its 30-plus year history. According to the owner, the car was originally delivered to Italy, then later sold to France before passing to an owner in Germany before returning to its native Italy with the current owner. In his ownership, the car was fully serviced in July of 2018. It is accompanied by its original books, documents and tool kit. Finished in the classic combination of rosso over a lovely tan Alcantara interior it is a brilliant example of Lancia's rally icon. • �u�erst original mit nur 2.200 km Gesamtlaufleistung • Mit allen Bordb�chern und Originalwerkzeug • Einer von nur 200 gebauten Stradale • Lancias legend�res Gruppe B-Homologationsfahrzeug Die �ra der 1980er Jahre geh�rt zu den extremsten und aufregendsten im Motorsport. Rennwagen machten mit beinahe verr�ckten Motorleistungen auf sich aufmerksam: von der Formel 1 zum Motorrad-GP bedurfte alles h�chster Konzentration und enormen K�nnens. Die vielleicht radikalste Rennserie dieser Dekade war die Gruppe B-Rallyemeisterschaft: das Spektakel von Fahrzeugen, die mit unglaublicher Power und immensem Speed �ber Schotterpisten rasten. Dominiert wird diese �ra auch von speziellen Homologationsrennwagen: vom Renault 5 Maxi Turbo �ber Audis S1 quattro bis hin zu Lancias eigenem 037. Der vielleicht ber�hmteste unter ihnen allen ist der Delta S4 Stradale. Wer auf der Suche nach dem ultimativen Homologationsfahrzeug ist, hat ihn in diesem Turiner Biest gefunden. Den gemeinsam von Abarth und Lancia entworfenen Stradale trieb ein 1.8-Liter Vierzylinder mit Kompressor und Turbolader an. Ein formidabler K�mpfer im Renntrim, mit nicht weniger als 500 PS. Der S4 war Lancias erstes Allradfahrzeug - mit drei Differenzialen, von denen die zentrale Viskosedifferenzialsperre das Drehmoment zu 30% auf die Front und zu 70% auf die Hinterachse dirigierte. Um die Homologationsanforderungen zu erf�llen, baute Lancia 200 Exemplare und hatte gen�gend Probleme, diese zu verkaufen: selbst Ende der 90er Jahre fanden sich noch welche abgelegen in H�ndler-Schaur�umen! Dieser Delta S4 Stradale von 1984 ist eine echte Zeitkapsel, hat er doch in 30 Jahren gerade mal eben 2.196 km zur�ckgelegt. Dem Besitzer zufolge wurde der Wagen urspr�nglich in Italien ausgeliefert, sp�ter nach Frankreich verkauft, dann nach Deutschland, bevor er schlussendlich wieder nach Italien zur�ckkehrte zum heutigen Besitzer. In dessen Besitz wurde im Juli 2018 ein gro�er Service durchgef�hrt. Der Lancia kommt mit seinen Originalbordb�chern, Dokumenten und dem Originalwerkzeugsatz. Der in der herrlichen Farbkombination von rosso mit hellbraunem Alcantara ausgef�hrte Lancia ist ein brillantes Exemplar dieser Rallye-Legende.
