For many years, the machines that win the Rali Vinho da Madeira are part of many young and older fans’ fiction, who locally follow the whole sport and the special stage show of motorsport in particular.
A reason to chat and argue, the preference for a certain manufacturer ended up, for many times, being an influence for the purchase of a vehicle to be used in a daily basis.
In Rali Vinho da Madeira, the most successful brand is Peugeot, with 10 victories, closely followed by Lancia, with 9. In the lowest place of the podium are the two manufacturers with 6 victories each, a Ford and a Porsche. Right behind is Fiat with 5 victories and Subaru, the best in 4 occasions. 4 manufacturers won twice: Ferrari, Opel, Toyota and Renault, as MG, Mercedes, Alfa Romeo, Triumph, NSU, BMW and Citroën only achieved the highest place at the podium once.
