This is an exemplar which has been restored by the Heritage team, and wears the tricolor livery of the sponsor Alitalia. .Starting from 1986 until the early 1990s, four generations of all-wheel drive Lancia Delta HFs followed one another, reaping a series of boundless victories, giving this model undying glory: six times the Constructors' World Rally Championship (1987 -1991);four times the World Rally Drivers Championship (1987-1989 and 1991);once the World Rally Championship production (Group N) in 1987;six times the European Rally Championship (1987-1991 and 1993) and twice the European Rally Production Championship (Group N) 1988 and 1989. The number of overall victories in the rallies valid for the various editions of the world championship is impressive: 46. The visible car at Autolook Week is the latest Delta HF of the winning family, the Delta HF Integrale 16V Evoluzione.To achieve it, the fenders were widened to adapt to the new carriageways and a conspicuous spoiler was introduced at the end of the roof, even if the major changes were under the hood, because the Federation introduced the use of flanges to limit the flow of the turbines.Improving year by year, despite the officially declared values, the engines of all Group A cars by now far exceeded the 300 horsepower imposed by the regulations, such as the Delta on display with its traditional Martini Racing livery.Autolook Week: eyes on the Stellantis Heritage See another photograph →If you want updates on Alfa Romeo, Historic cars, Fiat, Lancia, News enter your email in the box below:By filling out this form, I agree to receive information relating to the services referred to on this page pursuant to the privacy policy.We have received your registration request.If this is your first time registering for our services, please confirm your subscription by clicking on the link received by email.If you want to receive personalized information, also fill in the following optional fields.By filling out this form, I agree to receive information relating to the services referred to on this page pursuant to the privacy policy.We talked about Alfa Romeo, historic cars, Fiat, Lancia.Autoblog is a supplement to Blogo.Blogo is a registered newspaper.ROC registration n.22649© Autoblog 2004-2022 |T-Mediahouse - VAT number 06933670967 |1.44.1
