Group B rallying may have only lasted from 1982 through 1986, but in those few years, it gave us some of the coolest race cars ever built. After all, Group B is the series that birthed legends like the Ford RS200, the Peugeot 205 T16, and the Lancia 037. Heck, there were even a few Ferrari 308 GTBs built for Group B.

But no mention of Group B rally cars would be complete without Audi's Quattros. Previous automakers, wary of the extra weight and complexity, hadn't endeavored to try all-wheel drive in their rally cars. Beasts like the Audi Quattro and Sport Quattro 1 showed the world exactly how misguided that notion was.

As you can see in the video below, Audi's Group B rally cars still have it, even after 30 years. They're still hardcore, brutal racers that spit flames and sound fantastic. Plus, who doesn't love a four-wheel-drive power slide?
