WOW, You are SO lucky to drive such a Rally Legend. The Delta HF Intergrale is so rare to find, I'm jelly. It's every Rally fan dream to drive a HF Intergrale, to even be in the present of one is such a chance. I hope you get to drive more Rally Legends, Rally has some of the most interesting cars that are not Ferrari, Porsche, or Lamborghini.
As a kid, I thought that the Lancia Delta looked like a pumped up version of the VW Golf Mk2. Later I learned that it was designed by the same person (Giorgio Giugiaro). In the late 2000's, I saw a rally version of that car in an underground car park. The one that was featured in Sega Rally. It was just parked there, it felt surreal!
Nice find. It's awesome of Nomad to offer it to you. It's crazy that it was driven enough to have an aftermarket radio yet has the factory protective plastic on the door. Indents on the shift knob and the expansive gauges show that the Italians used to be about the driver's enjoyment. It must have been so hard not to go ripping around town in this.
What a glorious glorious thing! I've been fortunate enough to see a few in my time (Radwoods attract these things like magnets)! The downside, of course, as you said in your Alfa Romeo Milano video, is that you can't really use them as intended. I would want nothing more than to take this on one of the MANY rural fire/logging trails I know of, but it's a Lancia... it's gonna break... and God help you for parts.
I remember years ago my neighbours couldnt get out of the street after heavy snow in 4x4's, the integrale got out no problem. My Elise is great in the dry but a bit of wet and it quickly becomes the slowest car on the road. The integrale in the wet is just incredible.
The correct pronunciation of Lancia is Lanchia. Anyways you're one damn luck dude for having a day and blasting through the roads with this rally legend.
To my knowledge, you're not supposed to ever rest your hand on the shifter during prolonged driving, as it wears out the syncro wheels or something. Surprising that they encourage it.
This was the pinnacle of Lancia's racing prowess. Going back to the Fulvia, Stratos and the 037. It's a shame that the brand today is nothing more than some badge engineered Chrysler products sold only in Italy.
@@wmalden Lancia is Italian, no S**** sherlock. You are beyond dumb. I was referring to the specific edition due to the central blue and yellow stripes, the blue interior roof upholstery, etc. Looking almost like similar to the "Final edition". Also the importer shown in the video has pretty much only JDM. But please tell me how Lancia is Italian.
Yes you can tell its a Japanese Market car as the indicator repeaters are mounted lower on the front arches, European models have smaller round ones mounted where that one has the wing mounted HF badges.
A mutual friend, here in NYC, told me about this video. Couple of things, the headliner is a customer modification, along with the 'integrated roll bar' that is also wrapped in the same blue. The microsuede interior is actually Alcantara (I think microsuede is the generic term for that type of material) - cheaper, but more durable than actual suede (and not an animal product) The boost is not quite as harsh in the evo 2, as it was in the evo 1 (I prefer the touch of extra madness in my evo 1), but it does sound like that car has had some improvements, and shows with the intake for one) Great video, glad you enjoyed such a legendary car!
I was lucky enough to see one of these in real life at Radwood. Looking back at those pictures…they look really similar. Same plastic on the door cards same gauges. I wonder if this is the same car. Edit: Noticed there was a cage in the one I saw. Also heard this one was imported. Thank you for sharing!
That car is of course not standard, it has been "chipped". Higher boost, you can hear the gateway going. Sounds like 300+bhp. It's also a "special edition" Club HiFi and looks like a Japanese import. Pity it has been tampered with.
It's not a club hifi, it's a Lord blue standard car with stripe and other mods. Hifi had a leather interior, that is standard alcantara fitted to the non special edition cars...
@@thirdpedalnirvana Hm, not really, Escort & +Sierra Cosworth, Mazda 323 4wd turbo, Nissan Sunny GTR, many many Group A homologation specials were made.
I built one of these up to S tier in Forza Motorsport 3 back in the day, and I had to stop using it because it would just CRUSH every race against the AIs. It was fun at first but it got too easy to just win
@@ShootingCars Yep, I watched that when it came out. But that truck was kinda clapped out. The one at Nomad looks brand spankin new!! And those wheels look great. The one you reviewed last year was plain white with steel wheels.
Mind you - the road-legal Delta Integrale shares practically nothing with the rally-spec. The one that ran in Group B, aside from being mid-engined, was essentially all carbon fiber and kevlar, and the engine was both turbocharged and supercharged, and it's speculated it produced around 500 HP, though its tested limit according to Lancia engineers was 1000 HP.
Delta was Group A, the S4 was Group B, and 'loosely' based on the Delta platform. The Delta evoluzione 1 was a true homologation car, the evo 2, which is in this video, was not.
This rally legend is hard to find in Europe let alone in US...I hope you realize what enormous luck you have :) !
Bought it new in '92 , still in my garage. Every day we speak to each other ❤

Mama Mia! This is the Italian GR Yaris. 🤩🤩
You mean The Yaris GR is the Japanese Delta Evo

You can only truly appreciate this car on a twisty back road, even better when its wet. The handling and grunt out of the corners.
I remember years ago my neighbours couldnt get out of the street after heavy snow in 4x4's, the integrale got out no problem. My Elise is great in the dry but a bit of wet and it quickly becomes the slowest car on the road. The integrale in the wet is just incredible.
@@anonymous_bot_bot always fancied a lotus, had an integrale from 95 to early 2000s. Should of kept it, could of retired .

I’ve slayed so many people with this car in several racing video games.

Delta FTW
So great to see you drive this Legend.
I guess a Japanese import given the stripe and interiors
Japanese? It’s Italian. 🇮🇹

If you saw it at Radwood Detroit 2023, it was the same car!
0:40 ackshually, the top model would be the Delta S4 Stradale (assuming in even counts as a Delta)
I think objectively the best looking hatch ever made no contest end of story.
Honda ex 1.6 manual. Tahun 1988. Lokasi Permatang Bogak.Penaga.Seberang Perai Utara.Malaysia.
That's a pretty amazing car. I do hope you also test drove the Midget while you were there! 😁
No idea why so many integrale owners kept the plastic on the door cards. Weird.
You should do a review on the blobeye STI.
🔥 The Luxury Hot Hatch 🤩
So insanely cool
Btw..it’s Lan(CHAH)
not Lan(see-uh)

Not a limited edition, it's a jap market evo2... standard interior, not the hifi leather, no plaque fitted.
It's not a club hifi, it's a Lord blue standard car with stripe and other mods.
Hifi had a leather interior, that is standard alcantara fitted to the non special edition cars...
What I want to know is, how is this for mechanics and as a daily driver. Because I want it. a lot.
What's nuts is the most similar car in existence to this is the Focus RS. Lancia was on it 30 years early.

What a great car. Love everything about it!
Thanks a lot for this video /sarcasm Now I have to go find a mop to clean up this damn drool puddle!
What a car I love it!
Ohhh wow yea a legend of a car very very nice
Day one of getting zack to say hampter in one of his videos
Awesome car
It's so weird to see the tachometer start at the right and spin around the bottom to reach 6k and point to the left :L
Lose the dump valve it ruins a beautiful car
At 8:51 it sounds like grandpa snoring on the couch after Thanksgiving dinner. Ammiright??
My dream car
have you ever reviewed a car that actually HAS passed the "Big Friggin Bottle test"?
The harder you drive them the better they are,,,, that road didn't do it justice
It looks like Hyundai copied this boxy styling in their Ioniq 5 EV.
fun fact, the Delta was designed by Giugiaro, and the ioniq 5 design, took inspiration from Giugiaro. So, you're not wrong!
Italian driving position!
What an ugly, super cool car! Had no idea. Great video. Will that Suzuki cabover mini truck be a future review?
That one, no. But I have one from last year!

Where the fuck did they find a delta in left hand drive????
All of them were LHD!
So jelly..

Also - Abarth did work on this car, as the supercharger used was an Abarth Volumex R18, and built the final racing versions.
Nope, you confuse intergrale with S4
Delta was Group A, the S4 was Group B, and 'loosely' based on the Delta platform. The Delta evoluzione 1 was a true homologation car, the evo 2, which is in this video, was not.
