About the Lancia Delta HF 4WD #1 D. Cerrato Totip Rally Targa Florio 1987 Kyosho 1:18

TL;DR: Kyosho's 1:18 diecast Lancia Delta HF 4WD reproduces Dario Cerrato's #1 Totip-sponsored entry from the 1987 Targa Florio rally, part of the Group A season that delivered Lancia's manufacturers' title. The zinc alloy body carries tampo-printed graphics and opening doors, a distinctive alternate livery for rally collectors moving past the usual Martini cars.

Not every 1987 Lancia wore Martini stripes. Cerrato's Totip-liveried Delta HF 4WD ran that season too, and Kyosho's reproduction of it gives a rally shelf something the Martini cars can't: a genuinely different graphic scheme from the same title-winning car.

The Delta HF 4WD's Group A Breakthrough Season

1987 and the End of Group B

Group B rallying ended abruptly after the 1986 season, when a string of fatal accidents forced the sport's governing body to ban the category outright. Lancia had built the outgoing Delta S4 around those now-banned rules, and for 1987 the factory pivoted fast, developing the Delta HF 4WD on a production-based platform to meet the new Group A regulations. That quick turnaround paid off: the Delta HF 4WD won the manufacturers' title in its debut season, the first Group A car to do so, and set up the platform that would evolve into the Integrale over the following years. It was less dramatic to look at than the wide-arched Group B monsters it replaced, but it proved production-based rally cars could still win outright.

Cerrato, Totip, and a Season Beyond the Works Team

Dario Cerrato was part of the broader pool of Italian drivers who campaigned Delta HF 4WDs across the 1987 season alongside the headline Martini-liveried works entries, often under different sponsor colors for specific rounds close to home. The Targa Florio rally, run on Sicilian roads that once hosted the famous road race of the same name, was exactly that kind of home event for an Italian crew. Cars entered outside the primary Martini livery still carried the same mechanical package that won the title that year, which is what makes an alternate-livery Delta HF 4WD a genuine piece of the same championship story rather than a lesser cousin.

Tampo-Printed Livery Over Diecast Construction

Totip Graphics and Panel Registration

The Totip sponsor graphics on this Cerrato car replace the Martini stripes with a different color block and typography entirely, and Kyosho reproduces that scheme with the same tampo-printed precision applied to the works cars: flat, sharp-edged lettering that sits directly on the paint rather than the slightly raised edge a decal would leave. The number 1 roundel and door graphics stay in registration across the panel lines, which matters most around the door shuts where a misaligned print becomes obvious immediately.

Doors, Wheels, and Interior Detail

Doors and hood open on metal hinges consistent with Kyosho's diecast construction, revealing a cockpit mapped with rally-spec bucket seats and a simplified roll cage suggestion rather than a fully detailed cage structure. The wheels carry the period-correct rally pattern and ride height, sitting higher in the arch than a road car would, which is the detail that most separates a rally diecast from a street model built on the same basic tooling.

Placing an Alternate Livery in a Rally Collection

For a collector who already owns the Martini-liveried 1987 season cars, this Totip scheme is the natural next addition, filling out the same championship year with a visibly different graphic identity rather than duplicating a livery already on the shelf. It rewards close inspection of the door and roof graphics rather than the overall shape, since the mechanical package is shared across every 1987 Delta HF 4WD regardless of sponsor. Displayed in a row of period rally liveries, it makes the point that one championship season often looked different from car to car.
