The Group 4 specification is the "badass" version used in rally
racing. That's the one with the wide fender flares, air scoop on the
roof, quad headlight pod, 12" wide rear tires.

The Group 5 spec was a tarmac racing version of the car. The earlier
version of the group 5 looked like a Group 4 car without the light
pod, but with the addition of a deep airdam under the nose. The
later version of the Group 5 (which may be slightly better known if
you were a fan of the Transformers back the 80's - it was the basis
for the Autobot 'Wheeljack') was a silhouette car with a
turbocharger, radically different bodywork, and an air dam that
protruded from the nose about a foot.
