1:12 1/12 Lancia Rally 037 Stradale 1982 1983 red Laudoracing-Models

The Lancia Rally 037 Stradale is one of the most celebrated sports cars of the 1980s and the last rear-wheel-drive car to win the manufacturers’ title in the legendary Group B World Rally Championship. Produced from 1982 to 1983 as the road-going homologation version of the competition-spec Lancia Rally 037, it was developed to meet FIA requirements for rally competition. Thanks to its extremely limited production, outstanding performance, and rich motorsport heritage, it is now considered one of the most desirable collector cars in the history of the Italian automotive industry.

The development of the Rally 037 was the result of a collaboration between Lancia, Abarth, and the Pininfarina design studio. The car was engineered with a focus on low weight, exceptional handling, and maximum performance. Its bodywork was constructed from lightweight composite materials, while the central section featured a rigid structure developed for competitive racing conditions. The distinctive wedge-shaped design, widened wheel arches, and aggressive stance clearly reflected the car’s racing origins.

The Lancia Rally 037 Stradale was powered by a 2.0-liter supercharged four-cylinder engine producing approximately 205 horsepower. The engine was mounted longitudinally in the center of the vehicle, directly behind the passenger compartment, providing optimal weight distribution and outstanding driving characteristics. Power was delivered to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission. Thanks to its low weight of approximately 1,170 kilograms, the car could accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in around 7 seconds and achieve a top speed of more than 220 km/h, impressive figures for the early 1980s.

A defining feature of the Stradale version was its close connection to the competition car. Unlike many sports cars of its era, the Rally 037 retained much of its racing technology and character, providing the driver with an exceptionally direct and engaging driving experience. This is precisely why the model enjoys cult status among rally enthusiasts and classic sports car collectors.
