5 Of The Most Successful Rally Cars Ever
1. Lancia Delta Integrale
Where do i start. 6 Consecutive world titles, 5 European titles, 7 Italian titles the list goes on.
2. Mg Metro 6R4
Potentially one of the cars you didn’t think about when considering what cars could be on this list. The 6R4 didn’t have much success on the world scene but after Group B was banned the 6R4 was still able to compete but with a reduced engine size. This resulted in multiple national championships with drivers like Jimmy Mcrae, Tony Pond, Steven Sofroniou, John Price for example. The car today is still winning rallies and championships. One such example fitted with a millington engine won the MSA National Tarmac championship in 2014
3. Ford Escort MK1 and MK2
This is an easy one. The Ford Escort could be the most successful rally car ever. The Escort has been winning rallies for over 45 years and there is no signs of it stopping any time soon
4. Subaru Impreza
Another easy one. From a humble clubman spec car to world rally car examples the Impreza has been winning ever since its introduction. Today if you go to a rally you more than likely to see multiple examples being rallied. With 3 world titles to its name it is a worthy car to this list.

Audi Quattro? Maybe idk, or Sebastian Loeb’s C4
Renault Turbo 5
Peugeot 205 GTi
Mini Cooper? They were extremely competitive in the early days of rallying with their lightweight body and short wheelbase.
They were so good that FIA actually changed the regulations to make Coopers less competitive.
Lancias stratos, Peugeot 205 or audi quattro
agreed
Evo 9’s make great group N rally cars!
Evolution 6
Audi Quattro or Polo WRC ?
Renault 5 or Peugeot 205
