Audi radically altered the course of stage rally with the introduction of its Quattro all-wheel-drive system. Anyone with a modicum of motorsports information is aware of this, however the story of Lancia’s final stand in opposition to the AWD revolution is not fairly as widespread. A brand new film hitting theaters in January may change that, and admittedly, we hope it is pretty much as good as this trailer makes it out to be.

Titled Race for Glory: Audi vs. Lancia, the film chronicles the battle between Lancia and Audi within the 1983 World Rally Championship. This was only one 12 months into the notorious Group B period, and Audi was the producer to beat with its Quattro A1. Lancia debuted the 037 a 12 months prior because the successor to the legendary Stratos, although it retained a rear-wheel-drive format. At the time it was seen as non-competitive versus the AWD Audi, however we all know how that story ended. Spoiler alert: Lancia gained the producer’s title that 12 months.
