About the Lancia Delta S4 Martini #4 H. Toivonen / S. Cresto Rally Tour de Corse 1986 AUTOart 1:18

TL;DR: AUTOart's 1:18 diecast Lancia Delta S4 Martini #4 reproduces Henri Toivonen and Sergio Cresto's entry from the 1986 Tour de Corse, opening doors and bonnet included. This is a used model, box showing storage marks, casting unaffected. A significant Group B subject for a serious rally shelf.

This particular Delta S4 carries genuine weight in rally history, and this AUTOart diecast reproduces its Martini Racing livery with the care that a subject this significant deserves.

AUTOart's Rally-Car Build and This Copy's Condition

The diecast body's zinc alloy construction lets AUTOart hold the Delta S4's flared arches, roof scoop and rally lighting array true to the car's distinctive Group B silhouette, with the Martini Racing stripes applied crisply across the bodywork. Doors and bonnet open to show the twin-charged engine bay and stripped competition cabin that defined this generation of rally machinery. This is a used model, and its outer box shows traces of storage rather than factory-fresh presentation, though the casting itself carries no such wear. Given the historical weight this specific car carries, presentation of the livery and the race number takes clear precedence over box condition.

The Delta S4's Place in Group B History

The 1986 Tour de Corse marked one of the defining, tragic moments of the Group B era, and the S4's combination of a supercharged and turbocharged engine represented the technical peak of that short-lived category before its ban later that season. Displayed alongside other Group B legends, this model carries real historical weight, a reminder of both the category's engineering ambition and the risks that ultimately ended it. It belongs in any collection that takes 1980s rallying seriously.
