The Lancia Rally 037 (Tipo 151) is a sports competition car with a mid-engined engine, produced in the early 1980s for the Group B World Rally Championship. It won the Manufacturers’ World Championship for Lancia in the 1983 season, and was also the last rear-wheel-drive car to win the WRC. The name comes from the project number 037, which the car was later called.
Development of the car began in 1980 to allow Lancia to comply with FIA Group B regulations, which allowed cars with relatively few road-going versions produced to race. Before the first WRC participation in 1982, 200 road-going versions were produced. The car was initially powered by a 2-litre I4 engine with 265 hp (195 kW), which was later increased to 280 hp (206 kW). The second version was powered by a 2.1-litre I4 engine with 325 hp (239 kW). The engines were mated to a 5-speed manual transmission.
