difficult...
the quattro because it began 4wd
the quattro s1 for the fantastic looks and that noise!
205t16 e2 because it was so good everywhere and was so light with spaceframe chassis (i think it also had a primitive antilag system)
delta s4 because it was mad. supercharged and turbocharged, spaceframe also
rs 200 because it had so much potential
i just like all of them...
Audi Quattro S1 Evo 2 without doubt, pure monster,
Somewhat misleading as Audi didn't dip their toes into the Group B pool until after others if I'm not being confused. 205 T16 Evo 2 for me.Quote:

I'd sooner cut my own nuts off and feed them to sheep then let you trade them for a Stratos :p
You're now on 666 posts. Coincidence? I THINK NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Heathen! The Stratos is the most beautiful rally car of all time. A pox upon you and your descendants!
Yes but I like my nuts more than I like you or the Stratos :p
No offence or anything :p
The early Audi Quattro was somehow the frontrunner of Group B, so you can say they were one of the first.Quote:

I think we can all agree that the BX must have been the ugliest of them all, altough the back of the car looks 'dangerously' good to me!
I was actually lucky enough to stumble across an 037 in a service station in Corsica earlier this year and the guy working on it was more than happy for me to take a few snaps with my camera.

How can you argue with such purposefulness?
My top 5 are...
1. Ford RS200
2. Audi Quattro S1
3. Lancia 037
4. Peugeot 205 T16 E2
5. Mitsubishi Starion 4WD
Only just missing out, Austin Rover Metro 6R4 and Lancia Delta S4.
For me the RS200 is a very special car which seems to have a lot of mystery about it. Especially since it only did a few World Rally Championship rallies. You can't judge this car by it's overall results as it only has two decent results, that of Kalle Grundel in the 1986 Swedish Rally (3rd) and the RAC Rally (5th). But the car was way faster than that. It never did a Monte, 1000 Lakes or Safari so we never saw it on the toughest events but it did lead the Swedish and Acropolis both with Stig Blomqvist and Kalle Grundel (the latter only). It did win the British Rally Championship with Mark Lovell but we never saw it's true potential :( .
Another car which certainly interests me is the Starion. I have only ever seen a few pictures. If anyone has pictures or movies of this car it would be appreciated. PM me
