lancia stratos is really good, but i love the sound of the audi
I am a bit biased

I saw a Nissan 240RS replica for sale recently, for €13,000 had the FJ24 and everything.
Really made me think... about cashing in the gf's life insurance policy
>group b
just a bunch of overpowered meme-cars
why doesn't anyone ever remember groups a and n
>>15534903
really better than current wrc sound
>>15534893
Certainly. Horrible, but fucking rare.
>>15534911
group n was always for poorfags and apprentices
group a was pretty based as there was so much factory involvement, kind of like touring car racing at the same time.
the early-mid 90s was a great time for motorsport in europe, australia and japan.
i imagine it was like that in the 60s in america.
but group b was special for it's sheer insanity and danger and the excitement.
it was bigger than f1, and who cares about rallying now?

lol they bought most of them back to crush them and hide the shame
>>15534860
for a sound that, at least, resembles this beautiful sonic creation that propagates from the bowls of german iron, buy a golf, insert s2, smile forever.

Well, they didn't build 200 in the first place. And of those they DID build, suddenly half vanished, before even being put up for sale.
>>15534987
>>15534975
oh thanks, i only know there's a lot less than 200 around
>>15535003
>>15534987
OMFG, the MG Metro 6R4, really beautifull too
why is this not the best?
>>15535017
It never ran in B spec.
>Group S prototype quattro hack-job
>>15535015
Not really beautiful from close up. But magnificent shitbox nonetheless.
>>15535025
but it met the specs. im sure they would have ran it.
Renault 5, used by Carlos Sainz, the rally legend of my country
>>15535034
>im sure they would have ran it.
Well, yeah, that was the plan after all.
>>15535042

Ran for the first time in 30 years last weekend. Audi shipped it directly to the event, last minute decision to run it (though, well, it was capable of running. Sounds more like they planned for some time to have it have a go).
Röhrl at the wheel. It was glorious.

'course, it didn't run full blast. But that was to be expected.
>>15535070
Also there, but just as an exhibition 2 of the 3 222B Toyota MR2s
Really need to get the pictures from my cam someday soon.
>>15535070
so its still ugly. wow its got some close gearing
>>15535039
yes they cancelled the race series due to lack of uptake.
>>15535083
>>15535082
>so its still ugly.
Form follows function. I love it, but yeah, it's certainly ugly.
>>15535070
Eifel Rally Festival had 60 full on Group B cars, several Group B and S prototypes. 130 rally cars in total. Fucking amazing event.
205 T16 was just beast. Audi Quattro had the godly engine sound, but the T16 had everything else.
Also the 205 is the greatest hothatch.

Jesus, that thing is angry as fuck.
>>15535152
>>15535139
we should probably meet up, talk about 205s and fuck some time
total underdog, but rotaries for life yo.
no fwd in group b? I guess fwd really is shit after all...
muh dick
>>15535557
oops
>>15535330
Yes, I too enjoy going slower and burning more fuel.
>>15535691
You just don't GET it.
>>15535565
i find the street version more sexy
People forget that Group B wasn't exclusively 800 hp special built monsters. This thing also met homologation and while it surely wasn't the quickest it gets tons of sympathy points for its enthusiasm and offroading spirit.
>>15535874

Fucking
Truck
>>15535874
>modified car race event
>bring an ugly heavy truck
FUCK OFFFFFFFFFF
>>15535907

The Ausid wasn't actually good at all. The only reason it had a fleeting moment of success was because it was the only AWD competitor when it first came to the stage. Even the, in its second year it was beaten by a 2WD Opel...

wtf auto correct?
