- The Lancia Delta S4 could accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.3 seconds on a gravel road.
- Henri Toivonen drove an S4 around Estoril, the Portuguese Grand Prix circuit, so quickly that he would have qualified sixth for the 1986 Portuguese Grand Prix. (Who also unfortunately died along with his co-pilot in 1986?)
- Nigel Mansell sampled a Peugeot 205 T16 and said it could out-accelerate his F1 car.
Now I know the class was banned for a reason, but what an awesome series of motor vehicles....
