The execution

The Group B road car: 272 built, all production examples Rosso Corsa, and no competition start to turn homologation intent into a race record.

Ferrari planned 200 cars for Group B homologation and says every one was sold before the March 1984 Geneva reveal; the additional 72 also found buyers quickly. The 1984–1987 date is the broad market convention, not a claim of continuous assembly through 1987.

On the record

- Five-speed manual transaxle · rear-wheel drive
- Tubular steel chassis with composite, GRP and Kevlar body panels
- 272 Rosso Corsa production cars; no reviewed primary source documents a non-red production delivery
- Record: €9.1175M for chassis 52471, Gooding Christie’s Paris 2026
