Rally Legends & Group B Wall Art: Quattro to Delta Integrale

Published: February 2026 | Reading Time: 9 minutes | Category: Rally & Motorsport Heritage

From the Audi Quattro that revolutionized the sport with all-wheel drive to the Lancia Delta Integrale that dominated the final years of Group B and beyond, rally legends represent some of the most visually striking and emotionally resonant cars in motorsport history. This guide covers every rally deck in our collection and shows you how to build a display worthy of the wildest era in racing.

Why Rally Cars Hit Different

Rally cars don't race on perfect tarmac circuits with run-off zones and safety barriers. They race on dirt roads, through forests, over ice, in the dark, with nothing but trees and cliffs waiting for the slightest mistake. Rally is raw, unfiltered, and impossibly brave—and the cars reflect that spirit.

Why rally wall art resonates:

• Iconic liveries: Martini stripes, Rothmans blue and gold, Castrol red and green—rally sponsors created some of the most recognizable color schemes in motorsport
• Aggressive stance: Wide fenders, massive spoilers, rally lights—these cars look like they're about to attack even when standing still
• Underdog spirit: Rally was never about the biggest budget—it was about driver skill, engineering ingenuity, and sheer bravery
• Nostalgia factor: Group B ended in 1986, making these cars rare, dangerous, and legendary in equal measure
• Aesthetic perfection: Rally cars from the '80s and '90s have a design purity that modern cars can't match—function over form, every single time

The Revolution: Audi Quattro S1 E2

Before the Audi Quattro, rally cars were rear-wheel drive. After the Quattro, everything changed. Audi brought all-wheel drive to the World Rally Championship in 1981, and within two years they were unstoppable. The Quattro S1 E2—the final evolution of the original car—remains one of the most iconic rally machines ever built.

What made the Quattro legendary:

• All-wheel drive dominance: The first rally car to successfully use AWD, giving it unbeatable traction on gravel, snow, and ice
• Turbocharged fury: The 2.1L inline-five produced over 500 hp in Group B spec—absurd power for a car weighing just over 1,000 kg
• Iconic sound: The five-cylinder turbo engine created one of the most distinctive sounds in motorsport—a warbling howl that's instantly recognizable
• Michele Mouton's weapon: French rally driver Michele Mouton piloted the Quattro to four WRC victories, proving women could compete at the absolute top level of motorsport
• Design icon: Boxy, aggressive, covered in rally lights—the Quattro S1 E2 looks like nothing else

"The Quattro was the car that changed everything. Suddenly, rear-wheel drive was obsolete. If you didn't have four driven wheels, you couldn't win."
— Walter Röhrl, two-time World Rally Champion

The Dominator: Lancia Delta Integrale

If the Audi Quattro started the AWD revolution, the Lancia Delta Integrale perfected it. Between 1987 and 1992, Lancia won six consecutive World Rally Championships with the Delta. No other car in rally history has been that dominant for that long. The Delta Integrale is the most successful rally car ever built.

Why the Delta Integrale is legendary:

• Six straight titles: 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992—an unprecedented streak of dominance
• 46 WRC victories: More wins than any other car in Group A rally history
• Italian engineering: Mid-size hatchback body, turbocharged inline-four, all-wheel drive—practical on the street, unstoppable on the stage
• Driver legends: Juha Kankkunen, Miki Biasion, Didier Auriol—the best drivers of the era all drove Deltas
• Road car appeal: Unlike Group B monsters, the Delta Integrale was a real production car you could actually buy and drive daily

Lancia Delta Integrale — Yellow (BBS Wheels & Air Suspension)

The tuner's Delta. Bright yellow paint, aggressive BBS wheels, air suspension sitting it perfectly on the ground—this is the Delta built for car meets and Instagram, not forest stages. It celebrates the Delta as a tuning platform and a street legend, not just a rally weapon.

Lancia Delta Integrale — British Racing Green

The gentleman's Delta. Deep British Racing Green paint—a nod to motorsport heritage—keeping the Delta's classic rally proportions but dialing back the aggression for a more refined, timeless look. This is the Delta for collectors who appreciate subtlety and sophistication.

Lancia Delta Integrale Evo — Martini Livery

The rally purist's Delta. The Martini Racing livery—blue, red, and white stripes—is one of the most iconic sponsor schemes in all of motorsport. This is the Delta exactly as it appeared on WRC stages in the early '90s: aggressive, purposeful, and dripping with Italian racing heritage.

How to Build Your Rally Wall

Rally cars are all about dirt, speed, and chaos—but your wall display should be clean, intentional, and powerful. Here's how to do it right:

The Group B Tribute

Center: Audi Quattro S1 E2. Left and Right: Two Lancia Delta Integrale variants. This layout tells the story of rally's most legendary era—from the Quattro that started it all to the Delta that perfected the formula. Three decks, maximum impact.

The Quattro Evolution

Use the Audi Quattro 3-Pack to show the car's development across rally's golden years. Arrange vertically or horizontally depending on your space, and add a small plaque with years and specs for each version. This is the wall for Audi diehards.

The Italian Job

All three Lancia Delta Integrale decks side by side—yellow, green, and Martini. Same car, three completely different personalities. This display shows the Delta's versatility: rally weapon, street tuner, classic collector car. Perfect for Lancia obsessives.

The Mixed Heritage Wall

Combine rally with other motorsport legends. Audi Quattro + Porsche 964 + Ferrari Testarossa. Or Lancia Delta + BMW E30 M3 + Audi 90 IMSA GTO. Show how rally influenced and inspired other motorsport categories.

Rally vs Other Motorsport: What's the Difference?

Rally fans are a specific breed. Here's why rally wall art appeals to a different crowd than F1 or GT racing:

If F1 is the pinnacle of motorsport, rally is the heart. Rally fans don't just love cars—they love the madness, the history, and the fact that these events still happen on public roads with nothing but hay bales between spectators and 500 hp missiles.

Displaying Rally Art: Lighting & Atmosphere

Lighting That Matches the Mood

Rally is gritty and raw—your lighting should reflect that:

• Industrial track lighting: Black metal fixtures with exposed bulbs create a garage/workshop vibe
• Warm white LEDs: Avoid cold blue lighting—warm tones bring out the reds, yellows, and greens in rally liveries
• Spotlights from below: Uplighting creates dramatic shadows and emphasizes the aggressive stance of rally cars

Complementary Décor

• Period-correct sponsor logos (Martini, Rothmans, Castrol, Michelin)
• Rally stage maps or pace notes framed on adjacent walls
• Model cars or diecast rally legends on shelves below the decks

Frequently Asked Questions

Why aren't there more Group B cars in the collection?

Group B only lasted four years (1982–1986) and many of the most iconic cars (Peugeot 205 T16, Ford RS200) are still under active trademark and licensing restrictions. We're always working on expanding the collection—follow us for new releases.

Is the Audi Quattro S1 E2 the correct spec?

Yes! The S1 E2 (Evolution 2) was the final and most powerful version of the Group B Quattro, with over 500 hp and the most aggressive aero package. This is the "ultimate" Quattro that rally fans recognize instantly.

Can I get other Lancia Delta colors?

Currently we offer yellow, British Racing Green, and Martini livery. If you want a specific color or livery (like the red Delta HF Turbo or the white/blue Delta S4), check out our custom deck service.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes! Free shipping to EU, US, and UK. International shipping available worldwide, including to rally-mad countries like Finland, Sweden, and New Zealand.

Final Thoughts: Rally Never Dies

Group B ended in 1986. The Lancia Delta's WRC dominance ended in 1992. But rally culture never went away—it just went underground. Today, rally fans are some of the most passionate, knowledgeable, and dedicated enthusiasts in all of motorsport.

When you put the Audi Quattro S1 E2 or the Lancia Delta Integrale on your wall, you're not just decorating a room. You're keeping the memory of rally's greatest era alive. You're showing respect to the engineers who built these machines, the drivers who risked everything to pilot them, and the fans who stood in the forests and watched legends being made.

Rally is chaos. Rally is brave. Rally is forever.

Your walls deserve a piece of that history.
