I don't think they could do any worse. Nice to see some Lancias represented. Let's just hope they don't drop a Piano on them!

Lancia, great , owned 2 hpe's, 2 beta coupes and one trevi, Raw is the only word to describe them, and trouble could be another, but a true smile brand in days of old

The 8v are meant to be great value for money, is it true they have both turbo and supercharger? hard to find a good one though.

Is hard to find a good one but there's always the full nut and bolt rebuild option :bigsmile: Just turbocharged mate.

Just googled, yes the S4 was both supercharged and turbocharged . KKK turbocharger and Abarth Volumex supercharger.
The aim of using both a turbo unit and supercharging was to overcome the lazy low-speed response of the turbo. The supercharger looks after the provision of extra punch below about 3500 revs, and the turbocharger supplies an increasing amount of boost at higher rpm.:toung:

Thats why they are so rare. There is only a few that hve been converted to RHD.

Yes the S4 037 was twin-charged as stated before but not the normal Grale's like the ones in the picture we are talking about.

 

[aston]

says the s4 was sold as a 250 bhp road car, the big one was 500 bhp

 

[turbonutter69]

Was is not the S4 that was only manufactured for the road so they could rally it?

 

[aston]

The S4 had both supercharger and turbo charger, the 037 only had a supercharger (No turbo)
Whatever, they are stunning cars, got that real punch in the mouth look like an Alfa 164!

The Delta S4 became 1986 world rally champion! Unfortunately, the Group B classed was banned by the FIA after fatal accidents that claimed the lives of both spectators and drivers, including Henri Toivenen who died in Corsica.

Ahh, that's right, my mistake.
