The 1987 World Rally Championship season was the first World Rally Championship season driven without the powerful and popular Group B rally cars. 1987 saw the Group A cars come to the forefront of the world stage and it was a particulary successful year for Lancia as the team won a total of 9 events, winning the manufacturers championship in the process. The drivers' championship was won by Juha Kankkunen, whilst Miki Biasion was second and Markku Alén took the final podium place.
