Ciao ISC TV, leggo questo tuo commento, e mi viene da puntualizzare che avete pubblicato sui vostri rispettivi canali un video di due vetture che erano antagoniste nel mondiale marche a cavallo fra gli anni 70's e 80's. Ebbene, la Lancia vinse il titolo costruttori contro la Porsche con uno stratagemma del vulcanico Fiorio. Sé vuoi te lo racconto dopo! Ciao. Bravo 19Bozzy92, grazie per questa pubblicazione. Ciao!
@@Italiansupercarvideo Dunque, mi pare fosse il 1979, la Porsche continuava a vincere il titolo costruttori nella divisione 1 con la 935 Martini Racing, mentre la Lancia vinceva il titolo costruttori con la Beta Montecarlo nella divisione 2. Il bravo dott. Fiorio penso di prendere una Beta, e farle ri-alesare il motore di 0,6 mm, così da dover rientrare per forza nella divisione 1in sede di verifica. Con questa vettura denominata "Black Jack" (per via della colorazione nera con fregi rossi), andarono a prendere punti, senza la necessità di vittoria, anche nella prima divisione nel finale di stagione, lasciando a bocca asciutta la Porsche. La Lancia vinse il titolo assoluto costruttori e si portò a casa anche lo sponsor della Porsche, perché il conte Rossi di Montelera, proprietario del marchio Martini, rimase esterrefatto dalla manovra strategica del D.S. Fiorio, e volle così premiarlo! Questa è una delle più belle pagine del motorsport....
How beautiful the Lancias are so different from the rest, I hope the brand survives even if only for the Italian market. They only entered Argentina until the 80s, now they are collectibles, the few there are
While working as Fiat mechanic in the late 70’s one of the street versions dropped by. Absolutely stunning car that was originally intended to be the Fiat X2.0 but it turned out so nice Fiat turned it into the Lancia Beta Monte Carlo (Scorpion). It had the Fiat Twin Cam 1800 in it. Too nice to be a Fiat X1.9 replacement.
The 037 has always been one of my favourites. I'm doing a resto-mod X1/9 in the UK at the moment. Regarding the Lampredi 4-cyl production engines, my understanding is there were two. The big block is the twin cam and the little block is the single cam. The small block, originally 1300cc (X1/9 Series 1) was stroked twice by the factory - to 1500cc (X1/9 Series 2) and then 1600cc (Lancia Delta Mk1). Later, the block was modified to include a revised oil gallery (Fiat Tipo) which allows the 1600 crank to be used with shortened rods and oversize pistons, to increase capacity to 2 litres. Headwork, particularly increasing the exhaust valve size, and flow testing etc along with the usual lightening, balancing, and raising the compression to around 11:1, will significantly improve the power output. The addition of programmable injection and ITB's, will give around 200bhp at 7500 rpm in fast road tune. I've also managed to lighten the car a lot (to 802kg currently) by replacing the wheels and seats with much lighter ones, and deleting the headlamp motors, window motors, roof, jack, toolkit, spare wheel, bumpers, and washer reservoir, plus fitting a racing battery, reduction gear starter, and a tiny Denso alternator.
@@markbowden7238 not sure about Lampredis FIAT DOHC, but old generation of Alfa Twin Spark engines (like in 164, 155) was all aluminium. Later 16V TS engines were heavier, bc of cast iron block. Good luck with the project!!
@@jareknowak8712 cheers ! You might find this documentary interesting - ua-cam.com/video/3D7880YqCuA/v-deo.html I don't speak Italian but he's using the Alfa D2 engine + X-Trac sequential from the 156 SuperTouring. I think the D2 engine is a hybrid design, put together from various Lancia/Alfa/Fiat parts eg the block is the Lampredi big block (iron) with an Alfa twin-cam head, built by Abarth, it has 'Alfa Corse' on the cam cover but Fiat on the block.
Ennesimo capolavoro ingegneristico italiano grazie alla guida dell' immenso team manager Cesare Fiorio(Il Motorsport fatto a persona...mr 18 mondiali) e piloti quali Rohl ed Alboreto e Patrese vinse 2 titoli del mondo sport prototipi nel 1980/1981 battendo più volte le Porsche 935. Aahhhh che anni
Very cool car.. absolute purpose built. Only the roof panel is from the streetcar.. and not sure if the windshield is same size, but off course plexiglas
Yeah those turbos back then were mad.. however the Jolly club one is fitted with a 1775 ccm and twin turbo, so it puts out little under 500 hp. The first evolutions had a mere 220 and 310 with supercharger. Which Lancia favoured.. A 2 litre supercharged version also
Does anybody have any specs on both the 1400 and 1700cc capacity single/twin-turbo engines? I guess Abarth did all the performance work- what engine block and cylinder heads could be used to recreate this?
Downsizing in racing temporarily ended in the second half of the 80s, when the FIA and the organizers of DTM started demonizing turbos, for a series of reasons that were only partially... Reasonable. Turbos were phased out of F1, Sport Prototypes and touring car racing, and came back only through GT racing. This is what I came to understand searching on the Internet. It is possible that I'm completely wrong LOL
And on another personal opinion... Why was I not born in the 1960's?? Then I would have been a sports journalist, covering the late 70's, 80's and 90's... With all those beautiful, recognizable and unforgettable vehicles made back then, when motorsport was a real manly man's sport... when race drivers could conquer any title without fearing that sponsors would be upset, and risk it all in f.ex this particular vehicle for the delight of themselves and the fans
Molto interessante! Il motore gira in modo piacevole a sentirsi: non raggiunge i regimi di un aspirato ma suona bene, non ha il fastidioso scopiettio dell'antilag. Mi ha impressionato vedere che un motore tanto profondamente modificato conserva ancora i coperchi degli assi a camme della fiat 132 che avevamo in famiglia. Certo che, con le conoscenze aerodinamiche di oggi, quello spazio nel posteriore potrebbe essere sfruttato per un bel profilo estrattore che generi effetto-suolo
@@nestorlopez6983 On the bench, the engine (FIAT twincam) could develop 530 hp for 12 consecutive hours, but it was detuned for racing, to have full reliability.
This is the proof that turbocharged racing car can have a good sound. But why modern turbocharged GT racers got more silent? Yeah, I know about noise limit, but even without noise limit, they got more and more silent.
You can see why an F1 title sponsor has to get out of a losing team way before they drop down the grid. The residual effects of staying around too long are unreal!. I think Martini are really sore about Willams' decline because, before their sponsorship, Martini racing sponsorship was always known for winners, now that livery has the opposite effect. Sad.

Beautiful car. Lancia made so many interesting competition cars 70's and early 80's.
Yes!I really like rare 037.
They are both spawns of the same car

Dammit. Well at least the cars get to live on. It's like I say, I don't own anything, it's just my turn to take care of it.
Lancia never made a boring car. All of them had a certain level of excitement and uniqueness of which no other marque really seemed to fit the bill.
Instantly clicked the video when I saw the thumbnail, beautiful car ❤️❤️

A small 1.4 litre 4 banger way over 400 hp. Great Lancia and Abarth.

There is also a distinctive difference in engine note

Looks like a 037 predecessor.
It kinda was
037 used the cockpit section from Beta Monte Carlo, so it was kinda based on that and this car, but designed for rallying of course.
Yes, 037 based on this chassis.
Abarth!!!
Seems like theyre short shifting quite often. Doesn't this thing rev to like 8-9k?
Sounds like my old Gravely on sum 110 at idle.
Bellissimo video come sempre
E pole position per me tra i commenti 🤣
