2026 is the 10th anniversary of the Car Culture series, which brings changes to the chase cars. They are completely different vehicles, rather than just recolors of cars in the sets.

Car Culture vehicles are metal/metal with premium details and Real Rider wheels. Thrill Climbers is in mix "Q" of assortment FPY86 and ships in 10-count cases. Two of each vehicle should be in a case unless one has been replaced with the chase car.

The Lancia Delta S4 was introduced in 1985 for Group B rally racing and was only loosely tied to the Delta hatchback in name since the cars shared almost no parts. It came in a works rally version and a road-going Stradale, though fewer than 100 Stradales were actually built, even though 200 were required for homologation.

Its 1.8-liter inline-four used both a turbocharger and a supercharger, making about 247 hp in the Stradale and around 500 hp in the rally cars. The setup gave incredible performance, with the rally car hitting 0 to 62 mph in about 2.5 seconds on gravel and reaching about 140 mph depending on gearing.

When new, the Stradale cost around $75,000, equal to roughly $200,000 today. Surviving Stradales are extremely valuable, often selling for more than $1 million at auction.
