Naw, you don't want that.

What you really want is the original interpretation of it: A Lancia Delta
Integrale, preferably an Evoluzione. Lancia won the rally championships
undisputed for years and finally pulled out because the competition just
wasn't there.

Do a web search for it, I'm sure you'll turn up some interesting info. 

My dream car. Never seen one in the states though, just in Europe.
