Model Factory Hiro K523 1/12 Full Detail kit - Delta S4 Ver.C :1986 WRC Rd.5 Tour de Corse #4 Toivonen/Cresto
Out Of Stock
This is a multi-media model kit that includes sharp resin-cast bodies, rubber tyres (wet tyres), and other white metal, resin and photo-etched parts, decals and easy-to-follow instructions in English.
In the late years of Group B competition, the Lancia team decided it was time to replace the Rally 037 for a more powerful machine in light of Peugeot and Audi's success with their 4WD. The result was the Delta S4 - an all wheel drive featuring a 1759cc four cylinder midship-mounted engine, designed with a unique combination of supercharging and turbocharging that allowed for a reduction of turbo lag at low RPM.
The S4 debuted in the final 1985 WRC race at RAC Rally, which carried drivers Henri Toivoven and Markku Alen to a one-two finish. At the first WRC race of 1986 at Monte Carlo Rally Toivenen was able to take first, marking an excellent start to the 1986 season.
However on May 2nd, 1986 at Tour de Course, Toivonen's S4 went off the road and flew down a ravine on stage 18. The aluminum fuel tank was ruptured by the trees during the fall and caused an explosion, marking the death of both Toivonen and his co-pilot Sergio Cresto. The incident was yet another example of the dangers of Group B, resulting in all Group B cars to be banned from competition by the FIA, and marked 1986 as the final year of Group B.
Marking the 30th anniversary since the end of Group B WRC in 1986, and in memory of Toivenen and Cresto's final moments, we present the latest addition to our MFH 1/12 rally car lineup - the Delta S4!
