Rallying is arguably one of the most thrilling, exciting and unpredictable forms of motorsport out there. There is so much left to chance \u2013 the terrain changes, the weather changes, there are no gravel traps or safety barriers. It\u2019s thrilling, edge of your seat racing, and that\u2019s just when you\u2019re watching it on the sofa. Imagine what it must be like to be in a rally car, trees rushing past you at over 100mph with mere inches to spare. It’s what this Lancia<\/a> was built for.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Lancia,<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just the given environment that makes rallying exciting though \u2013 it\u2019s the cars, too. Purists will say today\u2019s cars are lacking drama, and in some cases, you could be right. Especially when you look at the car we\u2019ve chose here. Yes, this is the Lancia Delta Integrale Evoluzione. This car was <\/span>the<\/span><\/i> face of rallying in the \u201880s and early \u201890s, often stealing the limelight from the Fords.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s remarkable that that Delta ever even made it to the end of a stage. As a road car it was fairly hopeless. It wasn\u2019t particularly well-built. It wasn\u2019t fast. It wasn\u2019t especially easy on the eye. It was just a generic, and somewhat boring, car. That is until Lancia strapped a turbo to it. That\u2019s when things got exciting. Things went absolutely bananas when it was given all-wheel drive.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Lancia,<\/a><\/p>\n

Full of roll cage and with the boost wound up, the later Delta Integrale Evoluzione, was an absolute weapon. It won a massive 46 rallies. Forty. Six. That\u2019s a ridiculous number. But then, when you strap people like Markku <\/span>Al\u00e9n<\/span>, Didier Auriol and Juha Kankkunen behind the steering wheel, you\u2019re going to get results like that.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, this car is just a few stickers in homage to those rally cars, right? Wrong. This is a fire-breathing, 540bhp, roll-caged, bucket-seated, MSA Blue Book satisfying racer. Built for hill-climbs, sprints and of course, rallying, this particular Delta can stand tall next to the group A cars of old. Just look at the spec \u2013 there hasn\u2019t been a single nut or bolt left unturned in the name extracting performance. Okay, at \u00a365k it\u2019s not cheap, but it costs over \u00a3100k to build, so on that basis it\u2019s a bargain.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
