Description
Introduced in 1982, the FIA’s Group B regulations led to the creation of some of the most memorable competition cars ever. The Lancia 037 and Delta S4, Audi Quattro, Peugeot 205 T16 and Ford RS200 were all designed to take advantage of the class’s more relaxed rules, but it wasn’t just rally cars for which Group B was created – there were supposed to be track cars too. Ferrari produced the 288 GTO (Gran Turismo Omologato) to compete in the Group B track races but before this happened the the Group B race series was cancelled. Ferrari still went ahead and built 272 of them - upon its launch in 1984, it would be the fastest production car in the world.
