Now that i think about it, there are two things that i dont like about it;

1. It sounds awful.

2. They should have made their own engine.

1. Yes, you're right - but on that karting track it was barely above idle and sounded horrible!

2. Uh, you do realise Lancia is owned by Ferrari - so they are using their 'own' engines? The original used a 12 valve V6 'FIAT' Dino engine for the road car and the 24 valve V6 Ferrari Dino engine version for the rally version - so that's another link to the original?

Lovely, lovely little car, had the misfortune of being released around the time turbo's, AWD and wide tyres were coming in - they didn't work well with the latter as the camber changes of the suspension reportedly made the car rather twitchy - but that could also have been the short wheelbase.
Still good enough for two or three World Rally Championships, though! [thumbup].
The original show car had a 3 seat arrangement, the same as the F1 was to have later, but was dropped for production.

There are quite a few videos on Youtube, but most seem to have horrible music and no screaming engines...
