1992 90s nineties red Lancia Delta HF Integrale 1995cc petrol 4d en-route to Capesthorne Hall classic May car show, Cheshire, UK
The Delta had been conceived in the late 1970s with two main goals: restore Lancia’s reputation of building quality cars with excellent road-holding in the middle market, and enter the hatchback segment popularized by the Volkswagen Golf. Tapping the designer of the Golf, Giorgetto Giugiaro, for the Delta was likely a major reason its look remained fresh from the time it debuted in 1979 until the last cars were constructed in 1994. In 1982, the first clue of the Delta’s evolution (small E) appeared at the Turin Motor Show in the form of the Delta Turbo 4×4 concept. It featured a 1585-cc twin-cam inline-four, which was shared among other Fiat products, such as the Fiat 131 and Lancia Beta, and was designed by the former Ferrari engineer Aurelio Lampredi. The addition of a turbo allowed the engine to produce 130 hp. The 4×4 system was adapted to the front-wheel drive configuration based on the experience gained from the Fiat Panda 4×4. Some press were allowed to drive the car, but after that, it was mostly forgotten. In 1986, however, the HF4WD followed through on the promise of the Delta Turbo 4×4. It featured a new all-wheel drive system with lessons learned from the Delta S4 Group B rally car. At the rear was a Torsen differential, the front differential remained open, and connecting the two was a Ferguson viscous-coupling center differential. The 1995-cc four-cylinder was rated at 165 hp.
