[Kakumaki]

Here it is the restore of the one of a kind Delta ECV1 prototype from 1986, the project was originally stopped because of the deletion of the famous group B cars.

That is so awesome. My favorite car is the S4 and this is like an S4, but better. It's cool they got Miki Biasion to drive it too, really makes it all come together. Too bad Henri wasn't around to drive it though, that would just be epic. Cool story though 👍.

I have always liked these cars. And this one looks great. I like how clean the underside is of this car.

Is that some sort of a twincharger setup?

That is possibly one of the most awesome things I've ever heard. An abandoned factory concept gets loved by an owner and now runs fully. :3

Is that some sort of a twincharger setup?

Twincharger would be supercharger and turbocharger. This one has two turbochargers, and 0-200kmh ( 0-120mph) in 9 seconds.

Is that some sort of a twincharger setup?

The Delta S4 was twincharged, as shown in one of the diagrams on the site there, this, however, as Leonidae mentioned, is simply twin turbo'd.

The 037 was twincharged aswell.

I don't personally know what the fuss about the Group S cars would've been, in competition form they would have only had 300-350bhp compared to the 500+bhp they had towards the end of Group B.
