Lancia Beta Montecarlo Turbo

In 1979, in occasion of World Championship, was for first time
presented the Beta Montecarlo, a car studied by Lancia Head Quarters
(and particularly by Daniele Audetto) in order to try to conquer the
Championship, for many years dominated by the Porsche 935. Engine
was brought to 1425 cc to be able to enter the Beta on the class “up to 2
lite” (World Championship is in fact divided into two classes and winner
is the Team having got best score, independently from category). At the
end of 1979 season the Lancia was first in the class “up to 2 liter“.
