The 1983 Lancia Rally 037 #1 Martini Racing secured a historic victory at the Rallye Monte Carlo with German rally champion Walter Röhrl behind the wheel and Christian Geistdörfer expertly handling the pace notes. Röhrl, a two-time World Rally Champion, was renowned for his precise driving and ability to adapt to changing road conditions, while Geistdörfer was one of rallying’s most successful co-drivers. Together, they conquered 30 special stages to win the event, finishing nearly seven minutes ahead of their Lancia teammate Markku Alén. What made the Lancia 037 especially remarkable was its rear-wheel-drive layout, which went against the growing dominance of four-wheel-drive rivals such as the Audi quattro. Its supercharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine produced approximately 300 horsepower, while its lightweight tubular steel chassis, Kevlar body panels, and mid-engine configuration delivered outstanding agility. The iconic Martini Racing stripes, muscular wheel arches, and distinctive rear spoiler completed its unmistakable appearance. Röhrl’s Monte Carlo triumph helped Lancia secure the 1983 World Rally Championship for Manufacturers, making the #1 one of the most celebrated Group B rally cars of the 1980s.
