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.
