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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThat 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFew 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eFrequently Asked Collector Questions\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this model have opening parts?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, this is a sealed resin model with no opening parts, allowing for maximum accuracy in body shape and surface fidelity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it include a display case?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, this model comes in a clear acrylic display case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the model new?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
