Lancia, Turin, Italy.  Lancia Corse collaborated with Dallara on the Chassis, Pininfarina on the body and Abarth on the mechanicals to make this Group 5 silhouette car of the Lancia Beta Montecarlo.  The engine developed by Abarth was a 1,425cc turbo but it developed over 400bhp.  The car competed successfully in the 1979 and 1980 World Championship of Makes, winning the 2 litre class in both years. Overall race wins came at Brands Hatch, Mugello and Watkins Glen.  For 1981 it was given a bigger engine.
