Description
Wider wings, a completely redesigned bonnet, or a rear hatch fitted with a spoiler, you’ll surely recognise it: it is indeed the Lancia Delta Integrale in its extreme version, called: “Evoluzione”.
The wheel arches have thus been widened by 54 mm at the front and 60 mm at the rear, as well as an engine power now delivering nearly 210 horsepower at 5, 750 rpm! Here, then, is the miracle recipe that allowed Lancia to win the World Rally Championship in 1992 and thus achieve the unmatched record of 10 wins in that championship.
