The 1982 Lancia 037 Group B Works Evolution 1 racer to be auctioned by RM Sotheby’s on November 9.
Exuding provenance and panache, this Lancia 037 is one of the most significant Group B rally cars ever made, and the last rear-wheel-drive World Rally Champion.
The rear-wheel-drive Lancia 037’s aerodynamic body was developed in Pininfarina’s advanced wind tunnel.
Equipped with a Volumex supercharger, the car’s Fiat Abarth twin-cam, inline-four engine makes 300 hp.
The car was driven to victory by Walter Röhrl in the 1983 ADAC Rallye Deutschland.
The Lancia 037 was an impressive performer thanks to its light weight, slippery shape and high power.
During its racing life, chassis No. 319 was adorned in three liveries, including the famous Works Martini sponsorship colors, which it wears today.
This Lancia is estimated to fetch between $1,065,000 to $1,345,000.
