DiRT Rally 2.0 DiRT 2.0: Lancia Delta S4 & MG Metro 6R4 Rallycross Now Available

[Paul Jeffrey]

Two new historic rallycross cars have been made available for DiRT Rally 2.0.

Yes, historic rallycross cars. Now ladies and gentlemen, this should be fun...

With such a rich history of awesomeness to choose from, Codemasters have selected the rather wonderful Lancia Delta S4 Rallycross and MG Metro 6R4 Rallycross cars to form the latest new content drop for DiRT Rally 2.0 - adding two of arguably the top ten most beautiful dirty cars ever to grace a loose surface racing environment.

Coming in as part of the large DLC schedule within DiRT Rally 2.0, both cars are available either as part of the various season pass / deluxe edition packages, or available to purchase separately via the DiRT Rally 2.0 Steam store page.

The Lancia Delta S4 was one of the most ferocious cars to compete in Group B rally. When Group B was disbanded in 1986, many of the Delta S4s that had been in competition were quickly repurposed for Rallycross. Drivers like Matti Alamäki, heavily modified the car, optimising it for the sprint format that is synonymous with Rallycross.

• Max Power: 450 bhp
• Max Weight: 890 kg
• Engine: 1759 cc, 4 cylinders, Turbocharged and Supercharged
• Gearbox: 5 Speed – Manual
• Drivetrain: 4WD

Based on the MG Metro 6R4 mid-engined Group B rally car, the Rallycross version sported a number of upgrades and modifications. This car was a regular at Rallycross events around the world, and was especially popular amongst European Rallycross drivers in the late 1980s.

• Max Power: 450 bhp
• Max Weight: 1040 kg
• Engine: 2991 cc, 6 cylinders, Naturally-Aspirated
• Gearbox: 5 Speed – Manual
• Drivetrain: 4WD

Next up on the DLC schedule? Germany RX on August 13th!

DiRT Rally 2.0 is available on Xbox One, PS4 and PC now.

You know what will be more fun?
It starts with V.

 

[antirussia81]

Vodka, I presume?

I grew up watching the MG Metro 6R4 battle the RS200 at Brands Hatch, great days, this would be another great day when they stick a VR badge on the game....until then I no buy the game eh ok?!

 

[LibranRabbit]

And no FFB update or Wiper issue fixed...

Only if it's not Polish.
But in this case I meant VR.

I watched almost all EU Rallycross events back then, on TV: Alamäki, Arnesson, Gollop, Niitymäki etc and off course Mr Rallycross, Martin Schanche!

But AFAIK those cars had >600 HP and even the Metro in later seasons had turbos? Tiff Needell drove the NA version once, Gollop's car IIRC?

I think Delta S4 just isn't powerful enough in DR2 rallycross
But they're both pretty well rear end biased to start with which I like!

Cheers

To be honest I thought it was the female body part

Isn't that the car from Dirt 2? Wasted years literally in that car and title way back when I moved to this new country and I can't get internet connection. 2 years in fact. Now I realized I missed that title and that car.

How about Will Gollop's 700+bhp twin turbo 6R4. Total beast mode

 

[deadredeyes]

Yeah, they seem to be underpowered by 150HP, bummer.

Gollops Metro appeared in both the British and European RXCs and was rumoured at one point to have in excess of 750bhp using I believe the same configuration as the TWR Jaguar XK220s that had run a LeMans

New August blog. Nothing about VR or possible season 3 at this point.

But they are adding the DirtFish location for free in the next update. Usable only for test drives. It's actually a real life location, so it's kinda neat addition I guess, considering it's free of charge

The wiper issue won’t be fixed. Not that it’s much of an issue.

VR is here. Performance isn't very good though
