Group B Posters Wall Art

Group B Posters — 50 museum-grade prints on the theme. The Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 won consecutive WRC manufacturers' championships in 1985 and 1986 — the only French manufacturer to dominate Group B before the FIA banned the class. Its transverse mid-engine, four-wheel-drive layout represented a different engineering answer to Audi's longitudinal quattro concept, and the Rothmans-sponsored livery became as recognisable on forest stages as Martini stripes on Lancias. The Lancia Delta S4 represented the zenith of Italian Group B engineering — twin-charging, mid-engine packaging, and Martini livery combined into a silhouette that won the 1985 RAC Rally and the 1986 Olympus Rally before the FIA banned the class. Henri Toivonen's S4 remains the era's most haunting reference point: a car so fast that rulemakers concluded Group B had exceeded human and spectator safety limits. The Skoda Fabia WRC2 extended Škoda Motorsport's R5 dynasty into the WRC2 category where factory-backed hatchbacks earned manufacturers points and privateer respect on realistic budgets. Martini livery tribute on catalog art invokes the sponsor mythology Group B and WRC share — a visual language that makes Czech compact hatchbacks feel like they belong beside Lancia and Ford legends even when category rules keep them one tier below.
