The Lancia R
Had carbon rims and drive shafts,drivetrain ,chassi, body and carbon breaks. Rims where made in carbon with an alu center.
If my memory is correct the car had 80% made of carbon.
it was super light 800 kgs or so and had like 780 hp twin turbo charged.
Dont remember who test drove it but he said that it would be possible to win the F1 championship if had arrived earlier.

Dont know if it still exists but it stood in an corner at abarth/lancia factory.

Not twin turbo, supercharged and turbocharged. Supercharger for lower revs, turbo once it had spooled up.
Rumor has it Lancia themselves were concerned about the cars safety as on tight forest stages alternating between light and shade it could cover ground faster than the drivers eyes could focus on the next corner!
