After winning many international rallies with the front-wheel-drive Fulvia and the wedge-shaped Stratos, the 037 took the 1983 World Rally Championship title over the Audi Quattro by just two points. Lancia had to build at least 200 road-going examples of the 037 as per Group B regulations, and every single one is a blue-chip collectible nowadays. 15 photos
There is, however, something better than the 037 Stradale out there. Kimera Automobili has developed a restomod with the help of Claudio Lombardi, the former head of engineering at Lancia, which is why the EVO37 uses the same 2.1-liter engine as the original. Redesigned by Lombardi for maximum performance on the street, the force-fed motor produces more than 500 horsepower and 406 pound-feet (550 Nm) of peak torque.
