whats your favorite??mine has to be the S1 Quattro...

 

sure that will be contested on here mate RS 200 ??????

 

i love the 200,but the noise the quattro made

 

Mk2 escort..........SIDEWAYS

 

Lancia delta for me

 

with out a shadow of doubt.......

 

Quality pic

 

Lancia Delta or the S1 Quattro. The RS200 was in too few rallies for it to get a real following.
Also I'm not sure its a favourite with the multitude of people it killed and injured

 

sorry metro 6r4 for me
i dont have a pic though , can some one find a pic for me

 

Audi Quattro...... led the way for rallying as we know it

 

as said S1 quatto devasted the rally!

awesome awesome engineering and awesome looking machine!

no wonder it got banned

 

The RS200 never actually got proven as a Group B car though
as they never actually got to race the Evo version.

So the S1 quattro is the beast! 650 bhp on a dirt track lol
with people running out the way lol
Although the 205 T16 evo was close!

there is a video called 'Too fast to race' ive seen
some of the footage on there is insane!

says how the drivers needed personal physisans (spelling lol)
at every stop, you see some of them in tears where the pressure is
just too much!!

 

i kill for a living no pressure

i know the 200 was not proven in rallying but it dominated the rally cross seen for a while in many difo forms

 

Im with the S1 watching that do the pikes peak was amazing!

 

Think my fav has to be the Lancia Delta, sounded mint!!! Audi a close 2nd like Oh and top photos from the man from Westmeath

 

I think the 205 evo was the most successful actually, the audi S1 was a attempt to reclaim the crown but did not succeed. It was too heavy from what i recall.

Lancia 037 was successful but the mad compound charged S4 never had a proper chance to shine either.

The RS200 never completed a whole season, the 6R4 i think had reliability problems. All were bloody quick and evil looking.

Apparently Audi intended to come back on to the scene with a 1000bhp monster, but the drivers complained it went straight on corners

 

in my opinion the greatest rally car of all time has to be the Escort MK 2 which has dominated the rallying since being introduced and still wins today against modern machinery

 

in terms of greatest based on world and domestic stage wins its the impreza in all its guises,

personal favourite has to be the sport quattro,i grew up watching them and they got me hooked,

third favourite rally car of all time is sat in my workshop now.

 

The Audi was the best looking gpB car. The Peugeot 205 T16 was the better car tho imo.

I know everyone loves the RS200 but it wasn't that successful really.

The most successful rally car of all time has to be the Ford Escort?

Mini Coopers rocked in their day tho

 

Mk2 without a doubt. Most successful rally car of all time, sounds the bollocks and is the most fun to watch when being driven properly.

 

has to be the mk2 escort for me too - and on the 1st of July i'm driving one for the day in the welsh forests with tuition from the higgins family

mk2 escort, amazing car

 

For looks the Lancia but for sheer fuckin' brilliance has to be the Quattro, nothing really came close.

 

Greatest rally car of all time IMHO is this one:



Paddy hopkirk's 1964 monte carlo winning Cooper S.


If i ever won the lottery or married then divorced porkie, its what i would be trying to buy

 

For me, I can't pick a single, so I pick these collectively;

S1 Audi Quattro


Lancia Delta Intergrale


Metro 6R4


Ford RS200


And the Escort Cosworth WRC

 

Prob this was one of the fastest / greatest for outright speed and pace but fuck me its an ugly looking car



For greatest in overall wins for least amount of money spent has to be the old escorts

 

got to love the mk2 escort

 

If we are talking about Grp B, then it only comes down to 2 cars.

The 205



and the S4



They had what Rallying needed. Short Wheelbase and "enough" power. But massive handling ability. Personally I prefered the look of the Pug.

The Quatty was a triumph of power (and the ability to put it down) but wasnt a very good car dynamically. Problem the RS200 had was lack of time to develop it. It came along very late. The belief is that had Ford got a handle on the car (and Grp B had conticued for a few years) it would wiped the floor.

If you are talking Best car from before Grp B. Then Escort Mk2. Or in WRC times. ITs got to be a close thing between the Impreza/Lancer/Xsara/206 in terms of how many wins these cars have taken over the last decade or so.

 

What about that forest dance video or whetever it's called, that video with the 405 t16, that's just mental!!!!!

 

POO 505R

 

mk 2 escort's

 

the audi kicked off the 4wd scene for us and was awsome,the rs 200 was a pretty car compared to the rest and i love it as well.205 and 6r4 were mental for their size but ive always had a place for the lancia stratos as well,just a change from the norm i thought.

 

Some quality pics in this thread

Can't pic the greatest one just too hard to say which one, but the Mk2 Escort, Audi Quatro (or any Grp B car bar the Citreon ) and the Mitsu Evo have to be up there. Theres no doubting the Escos's rally ability but its a shame it didn't do all that well on the world stage.

 

the Jimmy McRae cossie, 1986. mint car, wicked livery my all time favourite rally car

 

Peugeot 205 T16 and evo was the best grp b car

 

the mk2 has done lemans 24 hr and any count of races i cant think to try type i would be here all night love it and bestow some grace men the best rally car ever invented so far.

 

im not old enough to remember them all! but i say the S4 as its by far the quickest quarter mile car i have on GT4!!

 

A very intresting motor the S4

One of my fav's after the Ford's of course.
