Dear god...I don't know how they had balls to push this monster to the limits. Very very mental and skillful people, big respect and RIP for all of the lost brave man.
Purtroppo la tragedia della vita, sempre in agguato, si è portato via il più grande di quei tempi, Henri Toivonen; il mezzo meccanico ha conosciuto il limite nel genio umano del pilota che l'ha portata al suo limite. Il pilota, insieme al copilota Sergio Cresto, erano troppo grandi e la meccanica ha semplicemente ceduto, portandoli oltre, fino a trasformarli in leggenda.
@@jackname49 infatti i piloti chiedevano sempre più potenza e non era quello il problema come dice sempre BIASION che ha sviluppato questo mostro le case dovevano investire sulla sicurezza delle auto ed imporsi sulla scelta dei giusti tracciati per le gare ....passare ad auto con 300 cv stato uno schock per i piloti
This is the greatest car ever made. Fuck Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Porsche, Aston, Lotus, (fuck me I almost said Alfa Romeo), Jaguar, McLaren, Koeniggseggegggeggggg, and everyone else. Groub B spec Lancia that does zero to sixty on gravel in 2 seconds flat. Let's see Tesla or Rimac do that.
Sound is good, very original, especially the "meow" on engine retention, it has a lot of personality, it reminds me Jeep Willis of American army. Aesthetically the same cannot be said, it is certainly not the car's strong point, to be indulgent, I like another one better that did look externally similar to street cars, by the way, it won this rally and WRC 85 and 86.
Man forget Colin Mccrae, Henri Toivonen was the fucking man for trying to conquer one of these beasts. He died doing it, but he was probably the only one who could do it.
lancia won 6 world champion ships with that car, the 037 and the integrale along with other titles in other categories, not thx to Toivonen for sure, Toivonen was a great driver but he became famous for his death in that car, true he was competing for world title in that year but at what cost?? there are better drivers, and still alive ;)
Massimo Max What you say is true, but Toivonen got known for his death trying to conquer one of the most insane machines ever built. The way I see it, there were better drivers but very few that probably wanted to even try a S4 because they knew better.
Massimo Max I've seen a documentary where many of the very big names in Rallying - team bosses, drivers, engineers who were in the business during the era and had first hand knowledge of the drivers at the time, said Henri Toivonen was probably the most talented, fastest driver there has been. He was praised for his speed not only on gravel, but on tarmac too and he was a very fast racing driver too. That he died in that accident is a consequence of so many things, most of which not many will ever know. For one: he was having high fever during the accident. He should not have driven, but more importantly he should not have been allowed to drive because he himself was a guy who wanted to drive and win, and the team should have taken the lead and stop him from driving. You try to tame a beast like an S4 in high fever.. good luck. He could have crashed somewhere else and lived but he didn't. Lancia could have kept the car at least as it originally was, but parts had been taken out to make it more light, parts that should have been there for proper protection and functioning of the car. The team was all about winning at all costs and many actions were taken that - done differently might have changed the fate of Toivonen. Henri's skill had little to do with the accident.
Massimo Max Also, in 1986 a few weeks before that year's F1 GP at Estoril, Portugal, Lancia was testing and Henri Toivonen drove the S4 on the full F1 circuit. His lap time on the rally car would have earned him the 6th place in the same year's F1 qualifying in which Ayrton Senna was on pole position. F1 cars at the time had 1000bhp (against the s4's 600) and they were obviously dedicated race cars, which the S4 was not. Even if the s4's boost had been turned up, it would still not have increased the power from 600bhp to the level of F1 car's 1000bhp. So you have this guy driving a less powerful car on the type of event that it was not designed for and yet he would have beaten most of the more powerful F1 cars driven by guys whose job was to race on racing track. He was not just a driver who was made famous by his death. He was going to be a superstar but at the end things went differently.
Jlclassics could be, who knows.. a good driver doesnt try to be 2 seconds faster, and in doing that he looses 15 because he hit's a wall or a tree.. good driver doesnt arrive on almost EVREY rally with amissing part of the car, that's my point, as i said, he was good, over the normal but still imo there where better drivers then him arround.. the S4 is perfection on wheels for those years, no doubt on that, the f1 cars where not much of a difference on certain circuits with no long straight lines, in add the f1 are rear wheel drived, the s4 4x4, useless to have 1000 hp and can use only 600, then better a 600hp car able to use them full, and besides all that technical talking, Toivonen did indeed do test drives in estoril, but it wasnt on the same S4 they where using, it was the new ECV, a much more powerfull and advanced car based on S4 that was ment to race in the new Group S rally starting in 1987. Some rumors are arround that this particular car was even done to go in touring car championships but it's just a rumor (You can do your own researches if you intrested just google "LANCIA ECV PROJECT"). Group S then never started after Henry's death and also Group B was cancelled along with the S4 and ECV project but we all know that part.. the lap time is a metropolitan legend, even Cesare Fiorio, Lancia manager of those years still says he personally have no knowledge about Henry doing that lap times.. there are no recordings of that so it can be true or not, but if even team manager says he doesnt know anything about that then i might think it's just a legend, nothing more ^^ that's just a point of view.. ah and the main reason of my post was reffered to "it's Lancia that made Toivonen, not Toivonen that made Lancia" :)
if you knew any thing about cars, you would be quiet, sequential trans need a totally different cames to match the close gear rations its not just a matter of puting that trans in,,

The drivers of the GROUP B will always be the best drivers of all times...and Lancia Delta will remain the best of the rally cars...

Delta S4.....a piece of mechanical art!
Wonderful Italian Car!, Best Rally Car ever!
Supercharged + Turbocharged = Powerful Delta S4 🤩😍
Respect forever, the Delta Boys. One of the last S4 races……
Delta s4 ..legend!!
Больше на трофи похоже, не дороги, а сплошная грязь. Но для Lancia нет преград. Браво Lancia!!!
Thanks. My favourite era of rallying. Go Lancia!
Thanks bro.... This is like a best rally car ever.... Great clip 👏👏👏
Italian legend
The Legend
Thank you for watching it! Also mine..Monsters like this there are no more..
The most incredible of all
What a pearl of motorsport ! (simply fantastic)

Comunque anche quel tracciato era troppo folle per quei mostri di macchine.. In discesa e piena di curve al limite non va bene

My favourite car ever!
Questa..e' Leggenda!!!
we see this car on Rally Legends events. but the drivers dont push the s4 to the limits like Henri
Can you blame them?? This car was not built with driver safety in mind
of course they don't. the car is too valuable and too scary.
It is 500k
These are museum cars worth millions. Audi Quattros or even 037’s, you easy make replicas. Not the S4 so much...
Nothing in this car was design for beauty and yet it was gorgeous
This is the greatest car ever made. Fuck Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Porsche, Aston, Lotus, (fuck me I almost said Alfa Romeo), Jaguar, McLaren, Koeniggseggegggeggggg, and everyone else. Groub B spec Lancia that does zero to sixty on gravel in 2 seconds flat. Let's see Tesla or Rimac do that.
Epic comment. 💚🤍❤️
Thank you for watching! :)
The People who drove these are no longer humans but Super Humans

I love the S4 for power but when there's power every car become beauty :)
Che mezzo spettacolare
Rally royalty.
I would have given anything to have seen these monsters live.
Also mine :D

paths? paths are for regular people, let's cut a new corner here...
Probably more of a dry weather car
I see the S4 is very suited for ploughing acres
😍🤩
Chi erano i piloti ufficiali in quel rally?
Alen,Toivonen,Biasion
Al nuova Zelanda Toivonen era già scomparso.....
Troppa acqua nel circuito! ;)
they are not pushing it enough, its 2,3 s to 100 km/h car
are you dumb ? its raining and muddy as hell :D
C'est la voiture de mon jardinier 😊
Cutting through the grass like that isn't against the rules? Ha, that's crazy!
It's not, you can cut but it's risky most of the times
Sega rallyyyyyyy
Nop
It is not a very pretty car but what it lacks in beauty is made up for in performance by far
Number one
this car should be with a sequential transmition.
Bollocks
For the sake of originality
I Disagreed
if you knew any thing about cars, you would be quiet, sequential trans need a totally different cames to match the close gear rations its not just a matter of puting that trans in,,
Definitely not
