Rally Icons: Celebrating the Lancia Delta and Toyota Yaris GR

Rallying has always been a motorsport like no other—raw, untamed, and utterly thrilling. It’s not about pristine racetracks or flawless tarmac, but rather about the gritty, unpredictable roads that test the limits of both machine and driver. Two cars that have left an indelible mark on this sport are the Lancia Delta and the Toyota Yaris GR. These cars aren’t just vehicles; they are legends that embody the spirit of rally racing.

In this article, we’ll explore what makes these two rally icons so beloved, and why they hold a special place in the hearts of motorsport fans around the world. Along the way, we’ll take a look at how you can bring a piece of their history into your collection with the Bolidi Scuderia Rally Bundle.


Lancia Delta: The King of Group A

Few cars can boast a racing pedigree like the Lancia Delta. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, this boxy, unassuming car became a powerhouse on the rally circuit, dominating the Group A World Rally Championship (WRC). The Delta's greatest strength was its versatility—it could handle the roughest gravel roads, the slipperiest snow tracks, and the fastest tarmac stages with equal finesse.

But what truly set the Lancia Delta Integrale apart was its four-wheel-drive system, which gave it unmatched control in the most challenging conditions. The Delta wasn’t just fast—it was relentless. It claimed six consecutive WRC manufacturers’ titles from 1987 to 1992, cementing its legacy as one of the greatest rally cars of all time.

For rally fans, the Lancia Delta represents more than just a winning car—it’s a symbol of endurance, grit, and the pure thrill of motorsport. The way it handled tight corners, how it danced over uneven terrain, and the unmistakable growl of its engine—all of it evokes a time when rallying was wild and unpredictable, and the Delta was its king.


Toyota Yaris GR: A Modern Marvel

Fast forward to the present day, and we find a new rally legend in the making: the Toyota Yaris GR. It may seem strange that a compact, everyday hatchback would be the foundation for a modern rally car, but the Yaris GR is no ordinary hatchback. This car was born from Toyota’s deep involvement in the WRC, designed specifically to bring the spirit of rally racing to the road. And it does so brilliantly.

With its lightweight body, turbocharged engine, and all-wheel-drive system, the Toyota Yaris GR is a beast on both the road and the track. It offers that thrilling raw power and precise handling that rally enthusiasts crave, while still being a car you can drive every day. What makes the Yaris GR so special is that it isn’t just a nod to rally racing—it’s a full-fledged homage to the sport, a car built by motorsport enthusiasts, for motorsport enthusiasts.

For the drivers lucky enough to get behind the wheel, the Yaris GR brings the essence of rally racing to life. The exhilarating punch of acceleration, the seamless control as you navigate tight corners, and the joy of feeling connected to the road—it’s all there.
