    This 1992 Lancia Delta HF Integrale is owned by the 51 North Car Club, a a car sharing club up in canada. It's founder, David, drove this car all the way from Calgary to Los Angeles, and back, for the shoot.
    Originally homologated for rallying, Lancia won the World Rally Championship with these cars six years in a row from 1987 to 1992. These cars are legendary, and until recently, unobtanium on these shores.

      @moorsyclimbing 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Both of which were down to timing as much as anything else. There's not a lot to say that the Lancia Delta wouldn't have been able to compete with the 205 given a little more time. Pretty sure Audi were only successful due to being the first to do 4WD. By the time anyone else caught up, they leap frogged them because they went mid mounted engine, which Audi refused to do. Perhaps it's valiant to stick to being more like road cars, but you're doing well if you beat a mid engined rally car with a front engined one!

      Ryan Rohauer I know it doesn't make sense, but they love LHD cars. Perhaps it adds to the exotic nature of the car, but *all* the Italian cars I have looked at importing have been LHD. Perhaps a Japanese member can explain.

    • @MrSteveo114
      @MrSteveo114 7 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      ChaosphereIX The Lancia Delta Intergrale were made ONLY in left hand drive configuration that's why even the models in Japan,England and even Ireland are all left hand drive.
      Lancia had to sell 400 of these in order to compete in the WRC so they were never built with the intention of mass production in mind,it was simply to get them into the championship and nothing more.The car proved to be in demand and after Lancia's wins in the WRC and as a result I think over 40,000 of them were built(including the lower spec HF)
      Why they kept it left hand drive God knows but I'd imagine it had something to do with that crazy(a screwa them)Italian way and or the extra cost of making them right hand drive wasn't worth it.
      As for the Japanese having left hand drive cars it's actually seen as a status symbol there,someone driving a left hand drive car in Japan is seen as successful and their car is seen to be exotic as a result.
      Hell I've even seen Japanese people walk into a Toyota dealer in Japan and order their brand new Glanza V in left hand drive,a car built only for Japan so never designed to be anything other than right hand drive were being sold as left hand drives for absolutely no genuine reason whatsoever other than to be seen as successful.
      So for any Americans reading this look long and hard on the JDM auction websites such as TradeCarView etc,your dream JDM car can actually be bought with left hand drive.They're rare but their there.

I think he means that it's not your average 'sleek fast car'. It looks more like a 16 year olds first car from back in the 80's or something. In other words, it's somewhat of a sleeper.

      energymc22 a guy I know used to run a little garage out of a industrial unit, doing typical mechanic jobs, he changed my brake discs & pads on my Evo IV & at a very reasonable rate too.
      Then someone brought in a Lancia Delta Integrale, it needed a new water pump, 8 hours later it was done, 8 hours labour for a water pump.
      Not long after that he decided to close his little business, maybe it wasn't doing too well, maybe the rent went up, I'd like to think it was fear, fear of anyone every bringing in another Lancia Delta for him to do routine maintenance on.

    Love Delta Integrale´s - How it could go so wrong with modern Lancia´s is difficult to understand.

    • @dabotz_draws
      @dabotz_draws 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      FIAT got over-extended... they had just about the resources to develop cars for one upmarket brand and, when they acquired Alfa Romeo, FIAT ended up with two that in many ways overlapped.
      So they decided that Lancia had to go back to its roots as Luxury maker, and leave the sporty side to Alfa Romeo.
      This in the end became costly trimmed-up FIAT for Lancia, while Alfa got a little more freedom in the chassis department (the only saving grace of Alfas having always been that they were fun to drive and that, alas, cannot be achieved simply with a nicer front fascia).
      Unfortunately, you can sell crap to people only for a while...though it may take years, sometime, before the average buyer realises it (... see Volkswagen in Europe now... )

    • @dabotz_draws
      @dabotz_draws 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I know, I know .
      Having been born and lived there most of my life, I still follow the old country, so I know that VW is still perceived as quite a good brand there, even while the reliability data - at least in other markets - are abysmal, and the driving quality is often Toyotesque (and I do not mean Supra, Celica 4WD or Initial D's AE86 - like).

    • @dabotz_draws
      @dabotz_draws 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      People take at least one car generation, to see that a marque has dropped the ball (or, conversely, that is doing better).
      Mercedes is on a downward spiral from the W210 onward (though the W212 E class are a nice pull back to better times, the various FWD are a disgrace), BMW does its usual job (.. a 3 cylinders on a series 3... ) and Volkswagen is overextended and fucked up brutally with the dieselgate (essentially killing the diesel passenger car in the USA, among other things).
      I am not sure about Toyota - its expansion has brought on models assembled outside Japan with less than stellar build quality, and the unintended acceleration case showed that their software R&D was atrocious.
      Honda is doing its cars, but has lost some footing on the technical side because it had to divert quite a bit of funds to rebuild factories that were almost destroyed during the earthquake that also destroyed Fukujima.
      Mazda is doing better than usual, and I am told that also the duo Kia-Hiundai (they are part of the same group and share parts and R&D) is on a roll.
      Anyway, if I can afford it, I hope some day to buy a Giulia.
      Reliability is nice, but an Alfa is an Alfa.

    • @Quicksilver_Cookie
      @Quicksilver_Cookie 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Well, to be honest Lancia weren't that good at making cars that sell to regular consumers. You know - sensible, reliable, fairly priced. I absolutely love Lancia, just like many enthusiasts around the world. But you can't deny it's easy to see why in general public didn't find the brand attractive enough to buy their cars. Every Lancia that's been great was exorbitantly expensive or just rare. Their complete madness and ingenuity produced some of the best racing monsters world has ever seen, but it didn't always translate well to their road cars.

Lancia, first car with a 5 speed manual gearbox, first car to ever own a V6 engine, first car to ever have an electric spoiler, first car to have both supercharged and turbocharged engine...and much more..Thats Lancia..This car is like Muhammad Ali or Bob Marley, or Ayrton Senna, they are gone, but they remain ligit forever.
