The Lancia Rally 037 (also known as the Lancia Abarth #037)
was a mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive rally car built from 1982
- 1985 to compete in the FIA Group B World Rally Championship.
Unlike its predecessor, the V6-powered Lancia Stratos, the Lancia
Rally 037 had a 2.0 litre 4-cylinder supercharged engine developing
around 250bhp. The power output increased to 305bhp with the
Evolution 1 version introduced in 1982, and further horsepower
gains were made in 1984 (325 hp) and 1985 (350 hp).
The Lancia Rally 037 was loosely based on its more common road-going
counterpart, the Lancia Monte Carlo (known as the Scorpion in
the US and Canadian markets). Modifications to the 037 included
changes to the chassis to accept the larger engine, and increased
rigidity for better handling.
The Lancia Rally 037 featured two "humps" in the roof, these
were made to allow room for the crew's crash helmets because
the original roofline hadn't taken these into account.
