supersimon126 May I suggest watch?v=ecPzCTYaPew for you; it is in German (GRIP magazine) with onboard Delta S4 material. Even the drivers are truly excited about it & can't stop smiling afterwards ...
The supercharger whine from the front is good, the turbo/exhaust noise from the back is great, and the mix of the two from a horizontal angle makes me wanna buy one
Holy sh#$ that is FAST, lest we forget the great Henri Toivonen. The S4 was one of the most difficult and stressful cars to drive ever made this side of 1950, a technological marvel that eschewed logic and safety in favour of the purest, rawest performance conceivable. Ostensibly an engine, sitting on top of fuel tanks wrapped in plastic, it was skittish and fragile, nervous and angry, beautifully bonkers. Truly an iconic vehicle.
It was also 4WD...the most exagerated version which never raced (suppression of Group B specs) was the Delta ECV II and was credited of 600HP in the offroad settings and 800HP for the tarmaq races. It's probably the fastest thing ever built for short tracks and tight turns.
Honestly thank God it never raced. Doesn't matter how good of a driver you are, there's a limit to where even the fastest reaction time wouldn't b quick enough
1759cc ..remember it guys!!! ^_^ One of the best car ever made... Lancia had already prepared the ECV AND ECV1 who were the next step in the S4! Triflux engine...20 years before the rest of the world, and only one name : "Ing. Claudio Lombardi"
A twincharged S4 actually can do 0-60 in 2 seconds on gravel, while F1 cars take 2.6 seconds to do the same on asphalt with grippy tires. Do some research.
To be honest, that's comparing apples to oranges. So just to nerd out for a few minutes (all numbers except Horsepower in metric, sorry for eventual inconvenience): If we compare the first F1 V6 cars from 2014 since this is around when you posted the comment: F1 Mercedes 2014 (The one with most powerful engine at the time, I think?) Weight: 642-691 Kg HP: 870 (Mercedes) Tire width (Rear): 325 mm. I saw something about rules changing later to wider ones which where 405 mm Only RWD, so a total of 650 mm of tire width to put the power down The Lancia Weight: ca 890 Kg HP: 500 (In races, I know they pumped a test up to 1000 Hp. I love Group B, haha.) Tire width for 1.3-1.6 Liter class (All tires): 457 mm AWD so a total of ca 1828 mm to put those 500 HP down. That's more than double the contact patch of the F1 car and 200 more Kilos on top to keep traction. Basically, the F1 cars have to much power to weight, thus their 0-100 suffers since there is no tire that can put all that power in the ground at low speed without wheelspin and still be practical on track. But when they do get up a handful of gears and can clap the pedal down, they go like damn bullets to 300+ Km/h.
@@raidkoast yeah, but Delta S4 was pure mechanical with manual shifting and no aerodynamics .. any sports/supercar nowadays is a videogame in demo mode ... My neighbor' friend is rich, a racer and owns EVERY Ferrari of last 40 years, he said some older Ferraris had such a heavy clutch pedal, almost no women, and most people could not drive it
@0oz Simple: with a big turbo you get turbo lag, so to eliminate ANY turbo lag, those crafty engineers bolted onto the engine a supercharger, which being belt/chain driven, doesn't have ANY lag. So the S4 used the instant boost from the supercharger and then when the turbo boost cut in, vented to atmosphere the excess boost from the supercharger to keep the head on the engine. To my knowledge it is the only rally car, or racing car that has used both at the same time.
@MrJohann64 You're not wrong! I lean towards the Quattro because i used to see/hear/smell an ex Hannu Mikola S1 Sport regularly racing up the hill at Shelsley Walsh driven by Tom Hammond. I've never had the pleasure of an S4 Delta in the flesh. Tom knew how to pose. His tow car for the race car was a road going homologated S1!
this car is just amazing in all aspects, performance and looks. it sure looks a bit ugly but at the same time it has something that makes you look at this car again and again. love the LANCIA !!!
@markandrach It seems that Toivonen took a good lap time in Estoril in 1986 with the Lancia ECV, that was the next step of S4 but never raced because of Toivonen accident in Corse
@thaN0s1993 quattro for 1986 was approx 600 bhp. Take a look at the RS200 that is being aimed at Pikes Peak to see what Group B could have achieved, Audi and Lancia were reputed to be testing cars with 1000 bhp for 1987.
@82coxy I'd assume that's where the air flow goes to cool the engine after being sucked through those massive side vents. Could be wrong though, Think it's mid engine...
@Keiky80 Lancia that Rudik is refering to was integrale (champ from 87 to 92), not s4 And Audi Quattro was not Group B car, it was an evolution from group 4, that's why it didn't have tubular frame
@ivojiggy I hope you know that Lancia Delta S4 is also AWD, made from plastic and weight ratio is so much different from quattro...oh where Hillclimb quattro? ;)
Most of these are commercial versions which were sold, the official race versions were another thing, they cost 1 milion each to build back then (interview of some guy of Rally/Abarth), there were 14 built, the few remaining are in hands of collectors
@@stefdem1533 Ianiello owns Martini liveried one which is fully original and is raced hard from time to time,which is way better than seeing it collect dust in garage because let's face it,it's a rally car,not show pony.
@@hillclimbracingfan5821 yes, ianniello has 1 of the originals, but others I don't know, most probably the "Stradale" street legal versions patched up ...
@ICaMoSI turbos do not make that rc car sound, only superchargers do, this car is NOT supercharged, it is turbo chaged. the sound you are asking about actually is the sound of the gears in the transmission, i believe they are straight cut gears (which produce this whine sound) the reason you hear it when the car is faced towards the camera, is because the exhaust is directed in the other direction, when the car is viewed from the rear, the sound of the exhaust over powers the sound of the gears.
From the front you hear the supercharger, from the rear you hear the turbo.
boss12 I know.... That car was not ever told safe was it?? It's more one of those cars that punch you in the throat if you do something wrong

Love this video for the pure sound of the Supercharger not turbo lol 😂
Super Turbo

Not just possibly the greatest sounding 4cyl, maybe one of the best sounding engines out there
This! And peugeot 205 t16 are my favorite 4cyl sound ever.

This is an intermission to go clean your self up for the second half of the video.
Silenzio! Che sta cantando la regina.
Incredible sound & car. The king of rally & hillclimb of 90's. Very fast, very powerfull.
Its good to see group b cars still racing in some kind of event
Love the way you can really see that spoiler workin wit the exhaust smoke!
Beeindruckend wie die losmarschieren. Und wie sie klingen..herrlich.
Danke. Schöner clip.
Spettacolo S4!!!👍👍👍👍👍
what a car! drivers got great balls too..nice videos dude :)
This car's powertrain is made out of awesome and evil bee hives.
My favorite car.
Точно така, една легенда!
The best car for ever.
quel sibilo di rabbia entra nelle nostre orecchie con una violenza spietata.
S4 un onore commentarti.
un missile terra aria fantastica
you can hear the transmission screaming! Car sounds awesome! Love it!
It's the supercharger
@@ettore5697 yes that too.. but you can also hear the gear box.
THIS IS THE CAR, WHAT A BEAST!!!
The sound of the whining supercharger, then when it passes, the sound of the turbo :D what a car!!! I'd do naughty things to own one of these ;)
SURREAL CAR from the 80´s 🇮🇹🥇
TK🇳🇴
supercharger + turbo= a harmonious symphony :)
Amazing car, sound, track !
@ICaMoSI
It´s the sound of turbo and supercharger...

And GT-R
Absolut beeindruckend.

Unfortunately there is no Gr. B Audi at the Hillclimbs...
Bruno maaate, you are amazing. You would be the best at kickboxing maaaate for sure.
GruppeB Forever!!! Was danach kam waren Spazierfahrten
God I love that sound, makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck every time.
Hats off to people driving this beast
the 80´s was really best time of great powerful cars, such a brutal mechanical animals.
@mtxrawkus
the sound is coming from the compressor!the lancis s4 was the only rallye car with both compressor and turbo!

All amazing cars. The real winner, is everyone. Those who drive them, watches them, hears them and can remember these cars.
THANK YOU so MUCH for uploading this .. thid is exactly why i subscribed a time ago :D thnx !! love this car (L)
hmmmmm, thumbs down? must be people driving a company plug-in car.......
Gran bel video, bellissimo.👍
Semplicemente unica, fantastica, mitica.
Delta S4 simply the best
love the sound, very distinct!!

@777Outcast777 ...With a whine like that it must be a supercharger....Awesome to hear a car sounding like that!!
@ICaMoSI it is the volumex sound ( volumetric charger)
Terrific this car this sound and this vidéo !!!
Grup B Monsters, one of this was the reason that this grup stopped. Toooooo much power can send you to heaven. RIP Toivonen
these cars are amazing
Superb driving mate!
beauty at its finest
HEar that sound! The engine is crying with joy!
Kakav zvuk ovo je neopisivo!
My all time favourite car. They should allow it to return to WRC.

1:04 man, those lads reaction is priceless :D
Not even f1 sounds great like this, damn
when the s4 is headed straight at you it's like the worlds fastest R/C car then it passes and you're like holy shit!
You get fast and then there is fast, but this is a monster, that sound!
einfach nur geil. es lebe LANCIA :)
okay where can i see this thing in action???? im about to plan a whole vacation around it
Swiss hillclimb
amazing sound!
What a magnificent machine, so sad lancia didnt keep up the deltas heritage
absolute beauty
einzigartiger sound :)
WHAT A DAMN CAR AND DRIVER!!!

@ICaMoSI Supercharger/Straight cut racing dog box's, ceramic bearings ect all sorts makes that whine!

@MPZRACEVIDEO Not really, look at the rear lights: the are Stradale ones, so I think they're higly tuned Delta S4 Stradale.

That's just bad ass. I love the whine.
I LOVE THIS CAR!!!!
this car is a monster, ITALIAN LOVER...
I would love to watch a competition between a S4 and any today's WRC for instance in Oberhallau.
There would b no competition lol. This thing hits 0-60 in 2.5..... on gravel
@Keiky80 Lancia that Rudik is refering to was integrale (champ from 87 to 92), not s4
And Audi Quattro was not Group B car, it was an evolution from group 4, that's why it didn't have tubular frame
Dear God, what a monster. Just look at that launch starting at :46.
Nice cars, the gear sound is even louder then the engine.
There is nothing out there today that would get near this thing,
@ivojiggy I hope you know that Lancia Delta S4 is also AWD, made from plastic and weight ratio is so much different from quattro...oh where Hillclimb quattro? ;)

Holy smokes! They're all power-shifting!
Incredible.
