The legendary Lancia Delta Integrale. In Italy, it was nicknamed either "la Regina" ("the Queen" ...of rallies) or the "Deltona" (big Delta). My neighbour had one when I was a kid. He would take his son and me to school in it. We were always early for class...
And I forgot to mention that... he was a former racing driver! In an old episode of either Fifth Gear or Top Gear (British TV car shows), An Integrale took on an M5 on a track and still won. I mean a track, where the M5 should win it... Amazing engineering feat, a benchmark in the 80/90s.
That's impossible, when you consider that they only sell one car in one country that's a rebadged Fiat 500, yeah, not going to happen. Lancia is a pretty dead brand.
@@adelaideautowashes wtf are you saying? the Ypsilon and the 500 are completely different cars. The Ypsilon is a little bigger and has got a different form. If you want to see one come to Italy and compare it to a 500
Dammit all this time I called it Lan-see- a! The correct pronounciation sounded like if he was saying "boat" in spanish (my first language) so initially I thought he was wrong. lol
Absolutely, sounded great. A friend of mine in the 90s didn't feel the same way. Bought the car, loved it to bits, had a heart attack when a bill for a regular service ran to four figures and promptly sold it. Think he bought an Intergrale Evo II afterwards which helped him get over it.
I'm an italian guy, every time i see a Lancia i think about the story of the brand itself, every time i see a Lancia Ypsilon i cry internally thinking about the story and all the innovation brought from this historical brand that now relies on only one (awful) vehicle. Since i can remember my granparents always had Lancias, like Kappa, Thema, Dedra and Appia and i happened to see some Delta, Stratos and Fulvia, all cars that one way or another helped to create the vehicles that we know today, it's so sad to see where the brand itself ended up.
Give it a drive, especially the previous one, the 843 model made until 2012, and you'll see there's nothing like it in the small car segment, there's simply no better small car, not even A-class Mercedes of that period. Lancia is such a unique brand they manage to make even the boring commuters unusual and enjoyable :)
Had a Kappa, great car . Had a Lybra, 2.0 ,5 cylinders, rust started to eat it away , so i took the motor out and i scrapped it and then i bought a Thesis. The Thesis was a dream car till some idiot rear ended me at a traffic light..... Now i have a 5 cyl , 20 valve motor from the lybra and i want to buy another Thesis. I have driven the 2010 Delta and Ypsilon and they are kinda boring, just like a Fiat Punto or the last gen Bravo
This is the most beautiful memorial of what Lancia has been, and what has represented in the car manufactoring and motorsport, in its 110 years of history. Fiat / FCA have killed this legendary car brand years ago. Also they have let the brand desappear in the silence, without any official comment, without honors of war, after such a great history. Mr. Marchionne said once "Lancia won't be developped anymore because it is almost unknow internationally", in order to justify the lack of any new Lancia models roadmap. In Italy there are groups of passioned people , like #savelancia, trying to keep the memory and some light on this glorious brand. Thank you very much Donut Media, very well done, great job!!!
Fiat should be blown up for their horrendous lineup of crap cars. why waste time making these when they had some of the best of the best cars in their pockets. but no, just throw ferrari money on a fucking beetle bam they retire after recalling all the cars they just wasted their money on, and layoff workers to recompensate the loss of their shit cars. with lancia they wouldve been richer than any other supercar brands. I want a lancia stratos, would be amazing to have but no, they rather let it die for no reason than to further their own demise in the auto industry...
@@spavatch it's correct, you're right. Fiat bought Lancia 1969 for 1 (symbolic) Lira, Lancia was about to fail. Fiat reorganised the company and financed the development of all the 70's Lancia models. Fiat had good profits and results because models like Delta, Thema, Prisma, Beta were successful. But Lancia was still a company, with their own engineers, in particular the racing team was absolutely managed by Lancia guys. The Fiat disengagement from Lancia begun beginning of 90s, when they decided to transfer to Alfa Romeo materials and people coming the official Lancia rally team, putting an end to that legendary story and reducing the development of new products and models. For 10, 15 years Fiat has been poorly interested in making good Italian cars, and the results we see today are Lancia destroyed, Alfa Romeo near to fail, Fiat selling 1-2 models instead of a complete product line we were used to see in our roads.
Just bought a Fulvia at auction, gonna pick it up this weekend. Very excited to finally own a piece of history from this legendary company. Lancias are very underrated and most people in the US have no idea they existed.
Damn I wish I could get a Lancia. The Stratos is one of my favorite cars ever and my favorite type of racing is rally racing. Hope to own one some day. Good look with ur Fulvia.
@@thebeast4853 My dream car is a Delta Integrale EVO II but prices have risen so dramatically in recent years that they have basically become unobtainable to most people...I settle for the Fulvia which is another one of my favorites. Lancia Stratos are amazing, but possibly the hardest Lancias to find, and definitely not cheap.
This is awesome. My dad is president of the Lancia club netherlands and we have lancia since my birth and all the cars we had were awesome there were good cars and also bad cars. Rally lancia were the best we had a Lancia 037 that we got from a family member in Italy. We also bought a Delta S4 with at that time was the best car of the timeeeeeeeeee. Love you guys keep making these vids
Even Walter Rohrl states that his time driving the 037 was amongst his favorite! He favored the driving dynamics of the 037 to his later seat in the Sport Quattro S1 beast.
Ok, I'm Italian and this is the first time I hear an American pronounce Lancia right, I was already prepared for cringe 😅 Edit: still butchered most of the rest 😂😂
One more thing you need to know: the legacy of Delta Integrale. Alfa Romeo won the DTM titles in 1993, and fought for titles in 94-96 seasons with a car built on the Integrale 4wd transmission. And the 1996 Alfa for ITC used a V6 Lancia-improved engine.
It was NOT a Lancia engine. The 155 used a 90 degree V6 which neither of Alfa or Lancia.. The Alfa V6 back then (and until recently for that matter) was a 60 degree Busso, which was not compact enough to be used for the 155 in the racing series, so they turned to PRV V6 and modified it to death. The 155 Q4 however, had an Intergrale 4 cylinder turbocharged engine, with the same transmission as the Delta.
@@coraz98 DTM rules at the time said engine should have been derived from stock production, and "derived from stock" literally in the DTM Book of Rules was meaning just 2 requirements: 1) same angle of a stock engine, between cylinders banks (in case of a V-engine architecture), and 2) same distance/space between cylinders. In Alfa Corse they opted for a 90 deg. V-engine as optimal configuration, but none of the V6 engines in Alfa at the time had such angle. They opted for the PRV because since some time ago Alfa was merged with Lancia and the Group used the PRV engines for some Lancia Thema models (luxury sedan). So because of this historical record in the Alfa-Lancia group (then merged in FIAT and furtherly in FCA), they were allowed to design a V6 90 degrees for the DTM championship. The PRV engine was not copied or tuned for the DTM: its existence was just a justification for Alfa for being allowed to produce V6 90 deg. for the DTM, being compliant to the book of rules, but the DTM engine was a completely new design, not a "tuned" PRV.
About the Lancia and the race you forget the Lancias for the Endurance Championship, the Stratos Turbo and the three times world champion Montecarlo Turbo. You also forget that the Ferrari F1 turbo, the 288 GTO and the F40 were designed by an engineer came from Lancia, the Engineer Materazzi. I hope you will forgive my fussinness.
The beauty of Lancia Delta S4's 'TriFlux' engine isn't just the 'twin-charging' thing. In fact, it is the valve-train and intake / exhaust setup that makes it great. It has the diagonal 4 valve head (pair of intake valves placed diagonally, and also the exhaust valves), this allows the temperature of the cylinder spread more evenly. It also has a true dual exhaust for an inline 4 engine, and a 2 to 1 intake manifold that allows parallel twin-turbo works perfectly with a single supercharger in the middle. Hence the name 'TriFlux', means 3 ways airflow. It is one of the very unique designs that helps squeezing out the very last bit of performance from a supercharger or turbocharger. I don't remember any other car was using such design, and in the aviation side only the WW2 Soviet late version Yak 3 and Yak-9p fighter with Klimov VK-107 engine has a similar 3-ways airflow design (SOHC, supercharged only), which is another type of legend. (Note: Yak 9 with 7 exhaust per-side is the 3-airflow version)
The TriFlux engine was built for the Lancia ECV, paired to 2 turbos. The S4 was twin-charged, but didn't have the special exhaust/intake setup of the Triflux.
@Sideways G you misunderstand me. I love Ayrton Senna, after all, if I didn't truly appreciate him, most likely I wouldn't even know him, much less ask for an up to speed on him. I did however watch the documentary that was suggested to me. It was nice. But not as nice as pumphrey screaming at the top of his lungs about senna's god lap as suspenseful music and/or lighting goes off in the background. That would be a dream come true
I always shed a tear when I think about what this brand has been and what has become in the last decades. I drive a 2004 Lancia Musa, my grandma drives a 1998 Ypsilon, my grandpa drove a 1989 Dedra until it was heavily damaged in a car crash. Even if my Musa is not comparable to the myths like the Fulvia or the Flavia I really love the history behind my clumsy MPV. I was hoping that FCA would do what it did with Alfa Romeo, bringing back the brand to life, but after the agreements between FCA and PSA I think that I will be so much disappointed and I fear I will see my favorite brand die once and for all.
It was a Ferrari engine, 4L V8 32 valves. What we call today a "sleeper". Nice, but not overkilling like in the same years having a 3.0 naturally aspirated Alfa 75 V6. Way more discreet than the 75 2.4 turbo Milano Quadrifoglio Oro aka the "Turbo America" as the market it was meant for. It was actually kinda heavy and slow for the engine it had, the Thema 8.32.
@@hamzehhabboub9304 they are quite unreliable and the pedals are a bit shifted like all Italian cars. They are also very idiosyncratic cars. We love them for their character but we also hate them when they turn on us. I never owned one but drove some on extended periods. Of course I am comparing their reliability to Japanese models of the 90s as for me they are the benchmark
@@chasemc69 try to catch a motorshow or antiques and try to find a Lancia Stratos, that car is hotter than the notion of hot sex, especially with the rally famous Alitalila trim. Pictures don't do it justice believe me. Up close it is a marvel to behold and also makes you wonder how can one person fit in there
Great video, I've been drooling over Lancias since I was a kid. Dig your style, Pumphrey, listening with headphones makes me jump every time you get excited 🤣
Finally an episode on Lancia! I wished you guys would come around to make one sooner or later. BTW since you mentioned the "new stratos" at the end you should also know that someone went on and built a "Modern" Lancia Delta Integrale, It's called the "Futurista".
I'm Italian , and the end of this story is so SAD ... I think if they will not produce something new in the near future , maybe they could also close the factory .
Who would have thought; anyone who knows anything about European automotive racing history! The Lancia Flaminia, a favorite of Juan Manuel Fangio, was just as beautiful as the Red Cars from Maranello , and the 037 and LC2 were both incredible race cars! My grandmother even began her love affair with autocrossing in 1959 using her 1957 Lancia Aurelia.
Had an entire video about Lancia but didn't mention how an intergalactic war hero automaton, and commander of an impressive army, enlisted a STratos Turbo *as an engineer* into his ranks because he was so well put together! I am disappointed in the lack of research put into this video.
Proud 2011 Lancia Delta owner here. Not the boring one, the 1.8L turbo one. Ye it's a spruced up Fiat Bravo, but a real joy to have the Lancia badge in the driveway.
Loved the long and detailed video. This is amazing! Does this mean you’re gonna make more on all sorts of big legendary brands? Maybe do one on Genesis starting with the 2009 sedan and 2010 coupes and working your way to the G70 and whatever else they have by the time the video is made? Or just a regular up to speed on the Genesis coupe ;)
Lancia delta has been stopped in 1996, the engineer who was in charge of "lancia corse team" was Sergio limone, and Fiat sent him to alfa romeo reparto corse (alfa romeo racing team) where he had to modify an alfa romeo 155 to compete in the German DTM championship, he used the same motor, same suspension scheme, and almost same mechanics used on the lancia delta and won two DTM championship, against Mercedes and BMW. Technically lancia won even two DTMS, even though they used a different car body. it only was a delta masked as an alfa romeo. Sorry for bad English
You can buy a modern Lancia Delta HF integrale, it’s called “Lancia Delta Futurista”, the design is almost unchanged, but the materials and the parts are newer.
Why cant car companies learn from this LIKE THATS ALL WE WANT JUST A NEWER VERSION OF THE CAR not a complete new body style and new engine that has nothing to do with the badge
@Chris Everett They already covered Group B itself. As for the cars in Group B they’ve only covered the Quattro and now Lancia. I suggest *RallyGroupBShrine* if you want to know everyhing there is to know about Group B.
Pleeease do an episode on Fiat! It has so much to do with all the amazing Italian car brands, and has also an amazing history! Also the panda 4x4 was a legend (and still is)
its like you guys havent even heard of maserati so guys, theres this luxury car brand, Maserati, that makes some SWEET vehicles but i am not up to speed on them :(
Humbrey, you're getting good at these European names. Great history about this company. Your level of detail is amazing. I am glad, I subscribed months ago and have grown to enjoy your channel. What will be next?
JACK ENDNIGHTS that video was about Abarth. The 037 is so named because it’s official Abarth build code is 037, the Delta HF 4x4 was 043 and the Integrale was 044.

Tron Born We do, but we really like GT as well ok?
@@djsonicc naahhhh... Murica is all about powaaaa things
@@twobrokenears4430 i don't know, you tell me, or not
Two up to speeds I was waiting for:
Lancia
Alfa Romeo
Lancia 😍😭. Has always been my favourite italian brand. The Thema 8.32 with a Ferrari V8 in the late 80's was fantastic ay well.
Do up to speed on Alfa Romeo
147 gta is one of my favorites! 😊
Delta would be a bucket list car to drive.
i'd rather drive a stradale
i got one, i love it
I drive my Hf turbo every time i can, still feels special and rally oriented even tho it's no integrle
About the Lancia and the race you forget the Lancias for the Endurance Championship, the Stratos Turbo and the three times world champion Montecarlo Turbo. You also forget that the Ferrari F1 turbo, the 288 GTO and the F40 were designed by an engineer came from Lancia, the Engineer Materazzi. I hope you will forgive my fussinness.
Emiliano, best engineers in the world. Good to be fussy.
Everything you need to know about Donut Media
Lancia and Alfa Romeo have to be the most evocative names in the business
Final a stranger that pronounce correctly Lancia! Thank you so much

The beauty of Lancia Delta S4's 'TriFlux' engine isn't just the 'twin-charging' thing. In fact, it is the valve-train and intake / exhaust setup that makes it great. It has the diagonal 4 valve head (pair of intake valves placed diagonally, and also the exhaust valves), this allows the temperature of the cylinder spread more evenly. It also has a true dual exhaust for an inline 4 engine, and a 2 to 1 intake manifold that allows parallel twin-turbo works perfectly with a single supercharger in the middle. Hence the name 'TriFlux', means 3 ways airflow. It is one of the very unique designs that helps squeezing out the very last bit of performance from a supercharger or turbocharger. I don't remember any other car was using such design, and in the aviation side only the WW2 Soviet late version Yak 3 and Yak-9p fighter with Klimov VK-107 engine has a similar 3-ways airflow design (SOHC, supercharged only), which is another type of legend. (Note: Yak 9 with 7 exhaust per-side is the 3-airflow version)
The TriFlux engine was built for the Lancia ECV, paired to 2 turbos. The S4 was twin-charged, but didn't have the special exhaust/intake setup of the Triflux.
@@martijndijkhuizen1333 Abarth developed the engine as with all Lancia's and Fiats rally cars. As well as the Stratos
@@martijndijkhuizen1333 thats absolutely right.........
Finally!!!
Grünkohlaktionär hahaha I said the exact same thing
Hi. It's amazing that some American knows so much about Rallye and especially about the Stratos and Quattro cars. Well done.
The 037 and Quattro didn’t compete in WRC, that wasn’t a thing. They raced in LEGENDARY
GROUP
MOTHERFUCKING
B
LIGHTNING
BRAP BRAP BRAP BRAP
I read this in Samuel L. Jackson
@@kuartaniasus1.07
Group B is still WRC x)
They competed in the World Rally Championship. It was very much 'a thing'.
Up to speed Ayrton Senna?
Caleb Samuel Yeah we need that
There is a full documentary on Netflix. Worth to watch
@@mihneachiripuci3505 yeah, but is it with the usual up to speed flair? No. I want #hrsprs and lightings, not a boring documentary.
@Sideways G you misunderstand me. I love Ayrton Senna, after all, if I didn't truly appreciate him, most likely I wouldn't even know him, much less ask for an up to speed on him. I did however watch the documentary that was suggested to me. It was nice. But not as nice as pumphrey screaming at the top of his lungs about senna's god lap as suspenseful music and/or lighting goes off in the background. That would be a dream come true
Why have they not done this
I always shed a tear when I think about what this brand has been and what has become in the last decades. I drive a 2004 Lancia Musa, my grandma drives a 1998 Ypsilon, my grandpa drove a 1989 Dedra until it was heavily damaged in a car crash. Even if my Musa is not comparable to the myths like the Fulvia or the Flavia I really love the history behind my clumsy MPV. I was hoping that FCA would do what it did with Alfa Romeo, bringing back the brand to life, but after the agreements between FCA and PSA I think that I will be so much disappointed and I fear I will see my favorite brand die once and for all.
Now alfa romeo
Patrizio Riolo and Lotus!

That’s the last thing I heard before my dad went to the store 15 years ago. I think he’s still finding the milk.
He's trying to milk a cow in Antartica. He's trying his best tho.
Why nobody talking about "The Last Lancia" :
THE " Lancia Thema 8•32 "
It was a Ferrari engine, 4L V8 32 valves. What we call today a "sleeper". Nice, but not overkilling like in the same years having a 3.0 naturally aspirated Alfa 75 V6. Way more discreet than the 75 2.4 turbo Milano Quadrifoglio Oro aka the "Turbo America" as the market it was meant for.
It was actually kinda heavy and slow for the engine it had, the Thema 8.32.
ECCOLO!!!! GRANDEEEE! Lo sapevo che alla fine lo avreste fatto!

What true petrol head could ever hate Lancia?!
We all love them!!!, and hate them at the same time! They are equally awesome and horrible cars at the same time :P
Christoforos Paphitis horrible in what way? Do you own a Lancia?
@@hamzehhabboub9304 they are quite unreliable and the pedals are a bit shifted like all Italian cars. They are also very idiosyncratic cars. We love them for their character but we also hate them when they turn on us. I never owned one but drove some on extended periods. Of course I am comparing their reliability to Japanese models of the 90s as for me they are the benchmark
as an American, I don't hate them but I've never actually seen one so... I have no real opinion of them.
@@chasemc69 try to catch a motorshow or antiques and try to find a Lancia Stratos, that car is hotter than the notion of hot sex, especially with the rally famous Alitalila trim. Pictures don't do it justice believe me. Up close it is a marvel to behold and also makes you wonder how can one person fit in there
Great video, I've been drooling over Lancias since I was a kid. Dig your style, Pumphrey, listening with headphones makes me jump every time you get excited 🤣
DO ALFA ROMEO NEXT!!!
The name itself brings a tear to my eye. Pure humanity in those cars beautiful, interesting, and faults just like humans.
Thank you for fulfilling the prophecy and bringing the world up to speed on Lancia, James
The Stratos is my favorite car of all time. Thanks for the video! Much love.
Lancia Delta Integrale, Stratos, 037 Stradale, Beta Montecarlo, Thema, Beta Coupe, Fulvia Coupe, and Beta HPE.
This will forever be my favorite rally car brand
That are Mitsubishi
Finally an episode on Lancia! I wished you guys would come around to make one sooner or later.
BTW since you mentioned the "new stratos" at the end you should also know that someone went on and built a "Modern" Lancia Delta Integrale, It's called the "Futurista".
I'm Italian , and the end of this story is so SAD ...
I think if they will not produce something new in the near future , maybe they could also close the factory .
Who would have thought; anyone who knows anything about European automotive racing history! The Lancia Flaminia, a favorite of Juan Manuel Fangio, was just as beautiful as the Red Cars from Maranello , and the 037 and LC2 were both incredible race cars! My grandmother even began her love affair with autocrossing in 1959 using her 1957 Lancia Aurelia.
I'm an Italian guy, I really appreciate this episode ... and thank you James for sweating pronouncing all those Italian names!
Now this is the one I've been waiting for forever
I really liked the way you present this program!! I laughed a lot and it was very informative!! Cheers my friend!😁👍
Up to speed on Henri Toivonen
The man who drove the estoril circuit as fast as an F1 driver. IN A FRIGGIN RALLYCAR!
Ain't that a person? And you think Up to Speed is only for cars
More powah baby 14:48 + whistle attempt at 14:58, damn hilarious
MOAR POWA BAYBUH!!!!! :D
My dad wpuld love this episode he loved the stratos. Thanks guys for making me feel closer to him
Thank you for pronouncing Lancia correctly.
It's friggin' LANCIA, not LANSIA.
Blame Engish, where C and S can have the same sound in particular words.
Blame spanish too, where S and C can have the same sound in particular words.
Lansia sounds sexier
Finally. 😅
@@iyzyz no
Had an entire video about Lancia but didn't mention how an intergalactic war hero automaton, and commander of an impressive army, enlisted a STratos Turbo *as an engineer* into his ranks because he was so well put together! I am disappointed in the lack of research put into this video.
This is still one of my favorite car series on the net. Funny, passionate and informative!
FCA needs to show Lancia some love again. Also up to speed Impala
Yes, impala!!
@MrThunderbird1111 fr tho, they left it to starve
🙌 GROUP B HRSPRS 🙌
New Antarctictangle with a couple of a thousand of LIBS!
Proud 2011 Lancia Delta owner here. Not the boring one, the 1.8L turbo one. Ye it's a spruced up Fiat Bravo, but a real joy to have the Lancia badge in the driveway.
I was ready for the LANCEEA, but i was pleased to hear it was LANCHA
Ur doing the Lords Work. Dont let anyone tell you otherwise.....
You're* :)
Loved the long and detailed video. This is amazing!
Does this mean you’re gonna make more on all sorts of big legendary brands?
Maybe do one on Genesis starting with the 2009 sedan and 2010 coupes and working your way to the G70 and whatever else they have by the time the video is made?
Or just a regular up to speed on the Genesis coupe ;)
Thanks for the entertainment I was in class and I was bored until your post notification popped up 🥰
My dude you make this channel!
The Lancia Stratos is my favourite, most beautiful car
Lancia delta has been stopped in 1996, the engineer who was in charge of "lancia corse team" was Sergio limone, and Fiat sent him to alfa romeo reparto corse (alfa romeo racing team) where he had to modify an alfa romeo 155 to compete in the German DTM championship, he used the same motor, same suspension scheme, and almost same mechanics used on the lancia delta and won two DTM championship, against Mercedes and BMW. Technically lancia won even two DTMS, even though they used a different car body. it only was a delta masked as an alfa romeo. Sorry for bad English
This was all part of Abarth. When the Lancia brand was dropped from sales in the UK, the Fiat group turned their attention to promotion of Alfa Romeo
You can buy a modern Lancia Delta HF integrale, it’s called “Lancia Delta Futurista”, the design is almost unchanged, but the materials and the parts are newer.
I'm surprised they didn't mention this
The futurista is just an old delta from the 90's with a new body kit, its also not produced by lancia
@@michelefranco6056 they did mention the rebodied Ferrari 430 as a delta...
L. E. I meant to say Stratos
@@ClaudiuStefanAioanei no that was the new stratos, the delta futurista is just a refreshed old delta
Why cant car companies learn from this LIKE THATS ALL WE WANT JUST A NEWER VERSION OF THE CAR not a complete new body style and new engine that has nothing to do with the badge
037 and Delta integrale evo are frikking gorgeous
That Saab 900 tho🔥❤️
*Up to Speed - Ford RS200*
Up to Speed - Ford Rs
for the love of God yes please. then cover the rest of group b
@Chris Everett They already covered Group B itself. As for the cars in Group B they’ve only covered the Quattro and now Lancia.
I suggest *RallyGroupBShrine* if you want to know everyhing there is to know about Group B.
Up to Speed - MG Metro 6R4
That little boxy boy with crazy aero 😍😍
@@ReboyGTR and the celica
Wow, my new favorite Donut video. What a beautiful legacy.
Up to Speed on Alpine A110
Now we need only #uptospeed on #alfaromeo and donutmedia can be crowned the best channel .....pause pause .... in the world !!!!!
Pleeease do an episode on Fiat! It has so much to do with all the amazing Italian car brands, and has also an amazing history!
Also the panda 4x4 was a legend (and still is)
Every thing you need to know to get up to speed TVR
Such a good idea
its like you guys havent even heard of maserati
so guys, theres this luxury car brand, Maserati, that makes some SWEET vehicles but i am not up to speed on them :(
They crappy vehicles that break down the moment you buy them. It's not worth doing a up to speed when their modern cars are so sucky
Maserati's are junk tho lol
@@brodywalker8579 exactly!
@@armandomorales3809 modern cars dont matter though, lancia modern cars are almost non-existence
@@facepalm7345 but lancia has a decent history. Maserati has some good history but most is a history of unreliability and overpriced vehicles
The drivers were even more impressive than the cars. Henri, Markku Juha, Walter, etc. Absolute legends.
I like how James still lets his inner child shine through.
That's kind of an annoying part of up to speed videos
YES
YES
YES
YES
YOU SAID IT CORRECTLY
I LOVE YOU
(edit: wait what are you saying
oh no)
That SAAB 900 turbo in the background
When are we getting everything you need to know to get up to speed on the Nurburgring
We need a up to speed on how donut got together.
Tbh y'all are one of the best car channels on the tube! I wish I could tone down some of the whimsy but it's a small price to pay I guess 🤷🏽♂️
WHEN I THINK OF LANCIA I THINK OF GROUP B
I'd go as far as saying when I think rally - I think Lancia.
@@Quicksilver_Cookie almost all petrolheads in the whole world think so, aside from Sergio Marchionne who shut down the brand.
Movie Fan cool ass name
I think of Henri Toivonen 😔
NFSMW brought me here
Humbrey, you're getting good at these European names. Great history about this company. Your level of detail is amazing. I am glad, I subscribed months ago and have grown to enjoy your channel. What will be next?
up to speed on deez nuts
But not in finnish names 😒
Tomi Vuori LOL, so TRUE! ROFL
It is incredible how mutch hustory in motorsport my country has, and an american it telling it to me, respect
Make a video about ABARTH! Italy need you
JACK ENDNIGHTS definetly!!!
JACK ENDNIGHTS that video was about Abarth.
The 037 is so named because it’s official Abarth build code is 037, the Delta HF 4x4 was 043 and the Integrale was 044.
Rofl when I read the word Abarth, James said Abarth as well. I know you don’t care but yeah
Pentagram Motorsport i know! I’m proud of it... but Abarth it’s not only under Lancia Corse
