About the Lancia Delta HF 4WD #4 M. Alen / I. Kivimaki Martini Rally 1000 Lakes 1987 Kyosho 1:18

TL;DR: Kyosho's 1:18 diecast Lancia Delta HF 4WD reproduces Markku Alen and Ilkka Kivimaki's #4 Martini-liveried car from the 1987 1000 Lakes Rally, run through the fast gravel and forest jumps of Alen's native Finland. Tampo-printed Martini graphics and raised, gravel-spec ride height sit on a metal-hinged diecast body.

Few rallies suited a Finnish driver better than the one run through his own country's forests. Kyosho's Alen and Kivimaki car marks that home event, the 1000 Lakes round of Lancia's 1987 title campaign.

The 1000 Lakes Rally and a Home-Ground Advantage

Finland's High-Speed Gravel Test

The 1000 Lakes Rally, run across the forests and lake country of central Finland, earned its reputation as one of the world championship's fastest events, with long gravel straights punctuated by blind crests that sent cars airborne for real distance rather than for show. Finnish drivers grew up on roads that mimicked those conditions, which is part of why the country has produced so many of the sport's fastest gravel specialists across multiple eras. For a Group A car in only its debut season, a rally this demanding on suspension and driver commitment was a genuine proving ground rather than a formality on the calendar.

Alen and Kivimaki in the 1987 Works Line-Up

Markku Alen and co-driver Ilkka Kivimaki drove car number 4 for the Martini-backed works team that season, one of several Delta HF 4WDs Lancia fielded as part of the push toward the 1987 manufacturers' title. Alen's reputation as a fast, aggressive driver on his home gravel made this pairing a natural fit for the event, even in a season where the Delta HF 4WD itself was still a new and largely unproven platform against established Group A rivals from other manufacturers.

Gravel-Spec Detail on Kyosho's Delta HF 4WD

Ride Height and Wheel Arch Clearance

Kyosho sets this Delta HF 4WD at the raised, long-travel ride height that gravel rallying demanded, with noticeably more arch clearance than a road-going Delta would show. That taller stance isn't a cosmetic exaggeration; it reflects the suspension travel a car needed to survive repeated jump landings on rough forest roads without bottoming out the chassis.

Martini Graphics Under Forest-Stage Wear

The Martini stripes carry the same tampo-printed sharpness across this car as the Monte Carlo entries from the same season, with the number 4 graphics and sponsor decals holding registration around the door shuts and rear quarters. A light gravel-dust wash across the lower body would have been authentic to how these cars actually looked mid-rally, though Kyosho's finish here presents the livery in its clean, as-liveried state rather than a weathered one, leaving that interpretation to the collector's own display choices.

A Home-Rally Chapter for a Season-Long Display

Paired with the Monte Carlo car from the same works season, this 1000 Lakes entry shows how one championship year carried its livery across wildly different terrain, from Alpine tarmac to Finnish forest gravel, without losing its visual identity. It suits a collector assembling a round-by-round record of Lancia's 1987 campaign, where each car's number and event tell part of a larger story rather than standing alone as a single generic rally liveried model.
