The Talbot Lotus was an acclaimed late seventies-early eighties hot hatchback. In 1977 the Chrysler Sunbeam was launched, within the Rootes group, to replace the Hillman Imp. The following year a first sports version, the Ti, with a 1600cc 100 horsepower engine, made its debut. In 1979 the Simca-Chrysler Sunbeam Lotus was presented in Geneva, available exclusively in black with a 150 horsepower engine. In 1980 Peugeot took over Chrysler and the car continued to be marketed as Talbot-Simca. The car benefited from a slight restyling and the engine gained 5 horsepower. That same year the car was homologated in Group 2 for rally use. In 1981, Sunbeam became Talbot and abandoned all subsidiaries with the Simca brand. In the meantime, the competition versions of the car reaped numerous successes until winning the constructors' title of the world rally championship in 1981. In 1982 the last examples were built, in the color "Moonstone Blue". Total production of the Talbot Lotus was 2308 units.
