This car is a 1993 HF Integrale Evoluzione, which has a more WRC-like appearance and a more rigid body than the other Deltas. Its 4-cylinder DOHC 2.0 L turbo 16-valve engine with a maximum output of 215 hp, full-time 4WD, and aggressive wide fender body with aerodynamics in mind are faithful reproductions of the works car, making it very popular.

When talking about the appeal of the Delta, it is important to mention the legend it created in the WRC. The WRC abolished the popular Group B category at the time. Instead, a new category, Group A, was created, which was based on commercially available cars and had a narrower range of modifications.

Each team was forced to rush to create a car that met the regulations, which led to many problems. However, one car showed overwhelming speed from the first race. This was the moment when the "King of Gravel" that would later be talked about was born. The Delta HF, which made its spectacular debut in 1987, was based on a commercially available car and equipped with a 2.0 L turbo engine. It was released as a sports model with a completely new drive system, changing from FF to full-time 4WD. It continued to show off its overwhelming performance, winning 9 out of 13 races in its first year. In response to this success, Lancia introduced the improved first-generation "HF Integrale" to the WRC the following year. It continued to be upgraded until 1992, when the "Evoluzione" was released, and it reigned as the absolute champion of the WRC for six years.
This record of six consecutive victories has not yet been broken, which is why the "Lancia Delta" continues to be called the "King of Gravel."

The appeal of the Delta is not only the myth it created in the WRC.
The Delta, which began development as a rival to the Golf, was designed by Italdesign, led by master industrial designer Giorgetto Giugiaro, who also designed the model.

This styling then merged with the WRC mythology and evolved into something unique. The answer was this model, the Evoluzione. It was equipped with large, racy blister fenders reminiscent of WRC machines, and air-cooling ducts were installed all over the body. At the same time, the body rigidity was also reviewed, and it evolved from a family car into a rally car in both name and reality.

The Delta, which has been transformed into a Spartan rally machine while retaining the charm of a luxurious family compact car, is truly a car that rally fans long for. Given the recent dramatic price hike, the envious gaze directed at this car will surely grow even stronger.
