Lancia 037 Rally #6 Winner Sanremo 1983 Alen/Kivimaki in 1:18 scale
This is the Lancia 037 Rally #6 Winner Sanremo 1983 Alen/Kivimaki in 1:18 scale by Spark.
At the 1983 Rallye Sanremo, Markku Alén and co-driver Ilkka Kivimäki secured a crucial victory in the Lancia Rally 037, helping Lancia in its fierce battle for the World Rally Championship title. Alén, renowned for his speed and car control on mixed surfaces, expertly handled the demanding Italian stages. What made the 037 unique was its lightweight, rear-wheel-drive layout paired with a supercharged engine, giving it immediate throttle response and agility—an unusual approach at a time when rivals like Audi were pioneering all-wheel drive. Despite this apparent disadvantage, the 037’s balance and reliability allowed it to triumph, making it the last rear-wheel-drive car ever to win the WRC manufacturers’ championship.
