Historical Background: the Lancia 037 Rally Dominates the Tour de Corse

Introduced for the 1982 season, the Lancia 037 Rally was purpose-built to compete at the highest level of the World Rally Championship under the new "Group B" rules. Powered by a supercharged mid-mounted V6 and featuring lightweight construction, the 037 Rally embodied Lancia's belief that agility, balance, and responsiveness could still challenge the increasingly dominant all-wheel-drive Audi Quattro.

That challenge reached its peak in 1983. Despite facing the full might of the technologically advanced Quattro, the Lancia 037 Rally delivered an extraordinary season that earned Lancia the World Rally Championship Manufacturers' title. To this day, it remains the last two-wheel-drive car to achieve that accomplishment, making it one of the most historically significant rally cars ever produced.

Few events showcased the 037's strengths better than the 1983 Tour de Corse. Known as the "Rally of 10,000 Corners," the Corsican event was a demanding tarmac rally filled with narrow mountain roads and relentless sequences of turns. The lightweight, responsive Lancia proved perfectly suited to the challenge, dominating the event and claiming the top four finishing positions. Markku Alén and Ilkka Kivimäki led the charge, securing a convincing victory that became one of the defining performances of Lancia's championship-winning campaign.
