INTEGRAL TURBO
La delta it was one of the first compact sports cars with four-wheel drive. In fact, up to this point, it was thought that all-wheel drive was more of a disadvantage (in terms of weight and handling) than an advantage; but in the early 80s, with the arrival of the Group B rally championship (and the Audi Quattro Sport), we had to change our mind. V four-cylinder 1995 cc turbocharged The Lancia Delta HF Integrale has modest power by today's standards, but has the same power as the old Euro 0 turbos. In the Evolution version, the Delta delivers 210 h.p. at 5750 rpm and 300 Nm of torque at 3500 rpmi, trapped by a Garrett turbine (like the modern Fiesta ST200).

However, the grip is phenomenal: the grip is infinite, and the Delta gives you the feeling that you can tackle any type of road, in all weather conditions, on a completely flat surface. The numbers speak of acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h in 5,7 seconds and a top speed of 220 km / h, which is not bad for a compact twenty-five years ago.
