We've released these images in the hopes that some Lancia officials will see this fantastically modern rendition of the legendary Lancia Delta HF Turbo Integrale.
The Lancia Delta HF Turbo Integrale needs no introduction. But as it never hurts to remember one of the most beautiful and sporty compacts ever, we repeated the title: all-wheel drive; 2.0 turbo engine; design to match; and an extensive curriculum in the rally world.
The Lancia Delta HF Turbo Integrale was and continues to be one of the most desirable cars on the small private collectors market. Even after more than 20 years since its launch, its technical solutions continue to impress and its design has not seen the passage of years. Is there a better proof of beauty than resistance to time?
Without a doubt, a rare example of longevity and recognition. Unfortunately, since then Lancia has been facing an identity crisis (severe…). Few are those who manage to recognize in today's Lancia the values that once made it one of the powers to be respected in motorsport and in the automobile industry in general.
For those responsible for Lancia who cannot decide how much to use for the brand's identity, we recommend a visit to the work of this independent designer. That alone and free of charge, presented the images of a project that tries to be the modern reinterpretation of the old Lancia Delta HF Turbo Integrale. Beautiful, distinguished and full of details that exude the «DNA» of the Lancia Delta generation that a few years ago made a name for itself in the market.
Angelo Granata, author of the project, describes his creation as being the original Delta of the «New Millennium». Safe, compact, sporty and striking, the new Lancia Delta HF Turbo Integrale would be wider, longer, lower but would retain the weight of the original model. Animating this model could be the 1.8 turbo gasoline engine from the Fiat group that equips the Alfa Romeo 4C, a four-cylinder turbo engine – like the original, with 1.8 liters of displacement and 245 hp of power. Engine that would allow the new Delta to start up to 100km/h in less than 6 seconds and reach a speed close to 250 km/h. Enjoy the photo gallery:
