Maybe it is a forgotten car now, but history doesn’t
lie. The Lancia Delta was born in 1979
as a normal, mediocre car. Giorgetto Giugiaro, a famous Italian designer and
engineer, who had already projected the legendary Fiat Panda, created a new car
with Lancia, that at first was unsuccessful but time has proven him right.
Between 1979 and 1987 Lancia produced 4 generations of the car, and every year the engineers introduced many upgrades of the engine, suspensions, inside quality and also of the body of the car. Actually, the legendary Delta HF integrale was born only in 1986. The last generation of Delta was the more successful. Producer added another powerful engine (in addition to the 1.3 68HP, 1.5 85HP Gasoline), the new 1.6 liter engine, supercharged by a turbo and with about 170 HP.
