Not true it was never especially designed for the Group B's

sure ferrari were thinking about it but they never made any special plans to get it in group B even though they could of


the mein reason for the 288 was a stepping stone to the F40

anyway back on subject it has to be the focus WRC from recent years

Lancia Stratos, had the best lines for a rally car and then these showed up wich are pretty sleek looking if you can use that word.
Focus WRC
Impreza STi
and the 206 wich is like a slightly faster Focus


But ugly would be that new 307! what the hell were they thinking?

I agree with the Focus WRC, but the impreza? It doesnt really look very sleek IMHO. Lancia is definitely in a class of its own.

Dont get me wrong, I love the car. So much power and technology.


But it has all the elegance of a cardboard box

WHat i mean by the Impreza, is that it looks good while its going fast through: Snow, rain, and dust. When ever it gets on a straight and you can see the air flow behind it and the dust is comming off wheels and rear spoiler, thats what makes it look cool.

Sexiest sounding has to be the S1 quattro.

Looks wise, stratos, 037 and integrale

I think I'll have to go with the Lancia Delta Integrale, the Escort RS Cosworth WRC and the Focus MKI WRC in the latest 10 years.
I enjoy very much the Ford RS 200 and the 205 T16 from Group B.
From the classics I really appreciate the Escort MK I, "one of most handsome cars of all time."
