Lancia Integrale - The Full Story tells you all you need to know about the world's most successful rally car; a car that won six world titles in six years.

This programme shows there is a lot more to the Quattro story than the legendary rally cars of the 1980s – it is actually a twenty-six year old success story that is still being written!

In the mid-eighties Ford decided to establish themselves once more in rallying with one aim; to win the World Championship. Their potential world beater was the RS200 Group B supercar and with a 600 hp engine and 0-60 mph in just 3.6 seconds, there was little doubt as to the potential competitiveness of the car.

This comprehensive programme traces the design and development stages of the Escort through to the present day, with added interviews from owners and enthusiasts.

How does an ordinary-looking saloon develop into a cult car desired by just about any red-blooded male and more than a few of the fairer sex? That's the question we answer with this in-depth look at the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo series.
Like its great rival, the Subaru Impreza, the Lancer started life as an anonymous two-litre family saloon. What set the pattern for the Lancer's rise to cult car status was Mitsubishi's decision to focus its 1993 World Rally Championship effort on an all-new 'Evolution' version and it was a young Finnish driver by the name of Tommi Makinen who took the marque to World Championship glory in 1996 - and again in 1997, 1998 and 1999.

PLUS! DVD extras include extended interviews and superb stills of the Evo phenomenon.
