I have loved this car since I first saw it on a poster in 1983. Interesting fact: Lancia had no money to compete in the WRC Manufacturer's Cup for the entire 1983 season -- they couldn't go head-to-head against Audi in every race, because they just didn't have enough money to put a winning car on the circuit for every race. So Walter Rörhl *didn't* race in every race that year -- only the ones where he knew he could slaughter the Audis in the race. He did so well, that only racing in 6 out of 12 events -- including sitting out the last two events where Audi poured everything they could into them -- Lancia *still* managed to score enough points to win the WRC Manufacturer's Cup. And Rórhl himself came in 2nd place in the WRC Driver's Championship!! Only racing *half* the races in the whole season!! What an amazing driver, and what an amazing car!!

So in the end real road going versions are very rare beasts. These days there are many fake versions on the market.

This is what Walter Röhrl had to say in his book about the Lancia 037 (crappy translation by me): _"The 037 was precise, neutral and you could steer it nearly completely with the throttle. With its long wheelbase it was much less nervous than the Stratos but it was exactly as agile. Thanks to the mid-engine I could drive it with incredible cornering speeds. But there was the limit, narrow and tight as a rope on which you balanced. The 037 was unbelievably sensitive there. The engine with its supercharger had an extreme amount of steam from the low end, we had up to 320 bhp for a car that weighed between 2120 and 2160 pounds. All in all the 037 was the most beautiful rally car that I ever drove."_

Fiat had 2 marques besides Ferrari with a sporting history but could only support one. The decision was made in favour of Alfa Romeo. So Lancia first suffered the loss of the racing & rallying programme ,then became a brand of rebadged luxury Fiats. Exports ceased in 1995 being Italy only and the brand has been left to slowly die ever since

Lassi Kinnunen **laughs in Delta S4**

The Scorpion is the American name of the Lancia Beta Montecarlo, that had never been intended to make anyone "believe that it was a version of this car". The Beta Montecarlo, launched in 1975, had simply been the base used by Lancia to develop the Beta Montecarlo Turbo (that won the World Endurance Championship for Manufacturers in 1980 and 1981, beating the Porsche 935) and the 037. The Beta Montecarlo Turbo and the 037, used the same FIAT Twincam engine of the "slow" Beta Montecarlo/Scorpion and of several other FIAT production cars, but obviously with different tuning. That of the Turbo was particularly impressive. With only 1.43 liters displacement, the engine developed 480hp continuous power and 530hp peak power (in an era when the F1 1.5l turbo engines developed slightly more than 600hp, but had to last only for 300km, less than two hours, and often failed to do it).

dear Jay, owning myself a Montecarlo, and the designer, Paolo Martin, being a close friend(he was in charge of the RR Camargue, the Fiat 130 Coupé , the Montecarlo, Ferrari Modulo etc. at Pininfarina), i must say that the Montecarlo was sufficiently powerful for a small 2 seater, it had 120 hp, and only the american version"Scorpion", had 89 hp because of the emission standards.The chassis is excellent, and the looks still today are the ones of an avant garde prototype. i love it.

I saw this back in 2018 and I came back in 2022 to watch it again. I love Lancia, I wish they would have been produced in higher numbers and available in the states.

In the 80’s I owned 2 Lancia beta’s. One 1300cc coupé and one 2000cc HPE executive and I loved them. Both 4 cyl twin overheads cam. At that time, the Stradale, loosely derived from the lame, yet great looking, beta Monte-Carlo, was something of a Graal for Lancia’s lovers. I once drove along one on my country Belgium highways, same color red, with a beautiful looking lady driving, I believe the importer of the brand then. What a day that was! I remember a video of one in a rally somewhere taken from the front. The car barely touching the ground, on occasions, almost flying from bumps to bumps. Never saw that again. Too bad the brand Lancia no longer lives. They had such wonderful cars. This one is their last hurrah. Emotional time watching this video. Thanks.

Jay, I know the guy doesn't want to correct you but the 037 was designed in 1980 while the Scorpion/Montecarlo went on the market in 1975. The Scorpion/Montecarlo was not the road-going version of the 037 but was the parts bin basis for it including the centre tub section hence the similar profile.

Jay was in his element on this episode and many subtle jokes to enjoy. The owner is knowledgeable and quite entertaining in a laidback manner thank you gentleman.

🥹 remember seen these “Rally group B” passing by, just centimetres from me on the stages in Portugal💝

It is also called Lancia Rally 037 in Europe. It is build as a race (rally) car. It's a RWD, Pinifarina designed it, no turbo but a compressor, Hydraulic Gaz suspensions, 2x 9.25 gal tank, Dry Crankcase. 200 build in 1 year was the minimum requested by FIA stock car have to be produce to be homologated in Group B Rally.

Tommaso Martinelli Don’t know what you mean by twincharged, It’s was supercharged at low rpm, and then turbocharged at higher rpm. [ the s4 from what I remember never killed any Spectators, only drivers.] The ford RS200 was the nail in the coffin for Group B after spectator deaths in Portugal. The only production car to copy the S4 was Mk6 TSI golf with same, super charger turbo charger up

@@checker3694 that's exactly what twin charged means, supercharger and turbocharger in the same engine , the one compensating the weaknesses of the other. You're right on the fact that S4 only killed drivers and co drivers, never spectators. Such a vicious car to drive, the only man who could drive it to its full potential ended up killed by it.

This guy wasn't the most eccentric guest but he seemed super comfortable, casual, cool knowledgeable. The car is certainly interesting but you can see how far cars have advanced by the amount of things you know should be changed by learning about this cars build. Another great garage guest Jay!

Thank you Jay, this car is a true italian masterpiece and it came out from the venerable Lancia. sadly they don,t do cars like this anymore.

160mph top end as well. 0-60 in around 4.9 seconds. This car was quick, with a capital Q. When I was a kid (16-17) I used to see these competing in the Group B rallies on video, with my jaw dropping with envy as I saw the masters of rallying throwing it around at eye-watering speeds on the mountain roads of Europe. Incredible car. And it was a real Porsche killer, and Audi Quattro killer at the Zenith of Lancia racing. I would give my eyeteeth to own one. Lucky boy. Another great episode Jay thank you!

I love Jay's out of date dad jokes and his repeated use of the "good day Mr Bond" while shutting doors and trunks.

Jay, thanks for pronouncing Lancia (lawn-chaw) correctly!! that's great :) bravo

The Lancia Scorpion was never meant to be a "fake" stradale... It was merely a rebadged Euro Lancia Montecarlo. And it was a real series production car, while the Stradale was built in very small numbers just for homologation purposes.

Yeah, I didn't like his roasting of the MonteCarlo, it was a nice car at the time (and handled ok if you put a sack of gravel in the front boot/trunk). Admittedly the Scorpion model released in the US lacked the stylish rear 3/4 glass buttresses and had rather awkward round headlamps so it lost the sophisticated look of the European model.

additionally the montecarlo was in production years before development of the 037 began - the 037 was based on the montecarlo/scorpion, not the other way around. the 037 only functionally shared the windows/some center components as it was a fully tube framed race car, but the point remains, it's a nice car with a different intention.

Love how the guy looks so relaxed riding passenger in his own car.

Not simple at all. A big ACTUALLY simple engine can make 2.5x the hp and only 30% more weight with no supercharger/turbo

I have no words. What a piece of art through and throug.

Those group b cars will always be remembered as being the sickest road racing vehicles of all time. Even a term like "legendary" is so under the radar to atempt to describe their status in the car universe. And even though I proudly call myself an Ur-Quattro fan of day one, this here is THE sickest of the bunch. What a beauty.

Ok here we go: When Fiat bought Lancia in 1969 they started the Beta project which used the great Fiat Lampredi twincam in transverse FWD configuration, in 3 different bodystyles. As a spinoff they realized they could use that driveplant in mid-engine config, in a big brother to X1/9 called the X1/20. However they they changed their minds and it was badged as ”Lancia Beta MonteCarlo” in the late 70’s. 2-litre, 120hp it was a frisky little sportscar with great handling. (THIS car was later sold as Scorpione in the US.) Come the 80’s, Fiat/Lancia needed a successor to the aging 131 Abarth in WRC. They took the Beta MonteCarlo (Scorpion) and chopped the front & rear off it, and built the 037 as virtually a new group b rally monster. We can still trace the Monte Carlo doors in it! The engine was instead longitudal mounted and was really the 16V 1995cc from the 131 Abarth, with added supercharger. Ok lesson over, class dismissed.

The 16v race motors can be traced down to the more "every day" Abarth`s too. Crazy engines, they don`t need much convincing to make enough power to get around. I`ve contemplated acquiring a street oriented 16v out of one Abarth or another, and transplanting it into a Corolla or something.
