Recreating the Lancia 037 (with Brandon Hegedus)

In 1980, the FIA issued a new set of competition regulations for GT and Rally car classes known as Group B. These rules allowed manufacturers wide latitude on  design and materials- and most importantly, no restriction on forced induction. Carmakers were also required to build fewer road car versions (just 200) to meet homologation. The result was an astounding array of racing brutes like the Audi Quattro, Ford RS200, Peugeot 205 T16 and of course the Lancia 037. But the speed and danger of Group B Rally brought things to an abrupt end and guaranteed the rarity of these cars... and that's where Brandon Hegedus of Hegedus Automobili comes in. He's a master craftsman who recreates halo cars (with some modern tweaks). Call them replicas, tributes, whatever- they are meticulously built and very impressive. VISIT HEGEDUS AUTOMOBILI: https://hegedusautomobili.comSUPPORT THE PODCAST:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/hpheritageSUBSCRIBE to Horsepower Heritage on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@horsepowerheritageFIND US ON THE WEB:https://www.horsepowerheritage.comINSTAGRAM: @horsepowerheritageHORSEPOWER HERITAGE is created, produced and hosted by Maurice Merrick.Get in touch with Maurice:https://horsepowerheritage.com/contactSupport the showHELP us grow the audience!
