designed for the "group B" rallye class, which never happened


Actually group b ran from 1983 to 1986. It was canceled because there were too many deaths. The cars were so fast some of the best drivers in the world could not control them.

I love group B rally cars!

you're right. thanks for the correction...
lot of cool cars were developed for the class (like the porsche 959 or the midengined MG Metro turbo) but never got a chance to really prove their potential

Ahhh, the "Killer B's"

There is a certian level of insanity that goes hand in hand with rally racing at that level. It is (was, for the B's) incredible to watch though.

In my mind that car is excellent looking. I'd love to have one of those and an Audi Sport Quattro. All that HP on a short wheelbase make them the ultimate rally cars.

When I lived in Portland a few years ago there was a guy that drove one of those around town. It was crazy fast. I think the white one with OR plate is the car I saw.

can you imagine this car with 840 BHP???? !!!!!

see it here

3 of my buddies went down to Pikes Peak last year to crew for the Mach2 racing team. Dan_F, a member here, was one of them. Stig Blomquist (sp?) was the driver. It sounds like a pretty spectacular car. They were shooting for the overall Pikes Peak record. If Dan sees this thread, I'm sure he'll respond.
