1983 Lancia 037 news, pictures, and information

Chassis Num: ZLA151ARO00000037
 
The Lancia 037 or 'rally' was developed to supersede the fiat 131 in world rallying, and followed in the footsteps of the Lancia Stratos in being a purpose built rally car. The main central body of the chassis was taken from the Beta Montecarlo and new subframes were added at each end. Suspension consisted of double wishbones on all four corners, with several pick-up points to allow adjustment. The bodywork, constructed of glass-fiber reinforced plastic, was designed and built by Pininfarina. The power plant was derived from that of the Trevi, 1995cc with cast iron block and four cylinders, but that was about all which remained the same. The cylinder head was light alloy, with four valves per cylinder. The engine was supercharged with a roots type compressor and was initially fitted with Weber carburetors. In 1982 this produced around 270bhp.
