Summary

Like most rally cars from Turin, the rear-wheel drive mid-engined coupé also made sporting history. The Lancia Rally 037 - the number stands for an internal development code - is the successor to the glorious Stratos, which brought the Italians three world rally championships and four prestigious victories at the Monte Carlo Rally. The 037 was able to convincingly build on this success, and the 200 homologation versions built for the road are sought-after collectors' cars today, even though they were not so easy to sell at the time. This article describes the 037 in detail, supported by many pictures from then and now.

Like most rally cars from Turin, the rear-wheel drive mid-engined coupé also made sporting history. The Lancia Rally 037 - the number stands for an internal development code - is the successor to the glorious Stratos, which brought the Italians three world rally championships and four prestigious victories at the Monte Carlo Rally. The Lancia people, who were used to winning, therefore had every reason to design the Rally along similar lines to the Stratos. The most striking difference: instead of six cylinders, the Rally only had four, which, coupled with 16 valves and supercharging, also provided plenty of power.
