Rally 037 Stradale

The last rear-drive champion

The Lancia Rally, internally SE037: a supercharged, mid-engined rear-drive Group B car built from Beta Montecarlo structure and Pininfarina bodywork. In 1983 it beat Audi's four-wheel-drive campaign by two points.

Overview

The 037's cleanest identity is not its production total but its 1983 result: a rear-wheel-drive car defeating Audi's four-wheel-drive campaign under the best-seven-of-ten rule.

Audi answered with an Argentina 1–2–3–4 and Finland 1–2. Lancia's Sanremo 1–2–3 by Alén, Röhrl and Bettega secured the makes' title; the works team then skipped the remaining rounds.

WRC describes tarmac agility and low weight as partial answers to the quattro's traction advantage. Final score: Lancia 118, Audi 116.

The title war

037 versus quattro

Ten eligible manufacturers' rounds, seven scores retained, two points at the finish. The 037 could not match four-wheel-drive traction everywhere; it won the championship by placing its rear-drive strengths where they counted.

True scale

The wedge, on one datum

The specialist road-car sheet gives the exact length at 3'915 mm. Height is less settled: the registry's versione-stradale table says 1'245 mm, Quattroruote publishes 1'250 mm, and separate specialist technical prose says 1'190 mm.

Length follows the specialist technical sheet; height follows its explicit versione-stradale row (1'245 mm). Quattroruote's 1'250 mm and the specialist prose's 1'190 mm remain open. The outline is traced from the camera-unified 037 cutout, so perspective is approximate.

The road claim

0km/h

Official Heritage gives the Stradale less than seven seconds to 100 km/h—about 97 metres at the seven-second boundary under constant acceleration; illustrative only, with no published surface or protocol.

Group B required 200 road cars, the same figure used by Lancia's official Heritage account. RM says 207 were complete at homologation and elsewhere uses 217; the specialist project register says 222 hand-built without defining its denominator.

The identity files

Numbers that moved

The honest 037 file has no single build total. It keeps every denominator with its scope, then separates a title identity that is unusually clear: the last rear-wheel-drive manufacturers' champion.

200207

Threshold versus completed

Group B required 200 road cars, and official Heritage uses that figure. RM says 207 had been completed when homologation was certified on 1 April 1982 and elsewhere describes 207 roadgoing Stradales. Those published accounts do not reconcile the claims.

217222

Two wider denominators

RM calls chassis 022 the 22nd of 217 and chassis 057 the 57th of 217. The specialist project register says 222 were hand-built without defining the denominator. Neither source explains how its total relates to 207.

5328 / 21 / 20

Competition counts

Official Heritage says 53 of the 200 were tuned for competition. RM says 28 Evolution 1; Motorsport Almanac says 21 evolution cars and 20 Evo 2; Bonhams also says 20 Evo 2. These may overlap or describe conversions, so they are not added. A secondary overview's 257 total stays discrepancy-only.

RWDAWD era

The champion's identity

WRC identifies the 037 as the last rear-wheel-drive car to win the manufacturers' title. It beat Audi 118 to 116 in 1983 while four-wheel drive was becoming dominant.

412Unverified

The cut number

Bonhams describes chassis 412 as a nine-win Evo 2 and 1984 Italian Group B champion. Artcurial says the chassis-number zone was cut and re-welded, so the asserted Martini and Olio Fiat–Tabaton provenance is not verifiable.

The project

Rally by name, 037 by code

Lancia's formal model name was Rally. The number came from Abarth's SE037 project code: a Beta Montecarlo central monocoque with tubular structures at both ends, a longitudinal supercharged four and Pininfarina-developed bodywork.

Pininfarina built the body shells in RM's account and completed the form in its wind tunnel. The Stradale appeared at the 1982 Turin motor show at L45'630'000, a period amount left deliberately unconverted.

The decision

Rear drive, on purpose

The Beta Montecarlo Turbo had won the Group 5 world titles in 1980 and 1981. Limone derived SE037 from that endurance base after the team rejected a clean-sheet Ferrari 308 V8 spaceframe route.

Project approval and Limone's sketch came in April 1980, Dallara's prototype in September, and first Campo Volo running before Christmas. By November 1981 SE037-001 was the first 037 tested on gravel at La Mandria; in January 1982 it appeared there in Martini colours.

The two-point season

Monte Carlo opened the case: Röhrl and Geistdörfer first, Alén and Kivimäki second, Audi's quattros third and fourth. Across the eligible manufacturers' rounds, Lancia answered Audi's traction with tarmac pace and a lighter rear-drive package.

Audi's Argentina sweep and Finland one–two kept the score alive. Lancia's Sanremo one–two–three by Alén, Röhrl and Bettega clinched the manufacturers' title. The discarded scores left Lancia on 118 and Audi on 116.
