The Lancia Delta HF Integrale 16V represented the next evolution of Lancia’s rally dominance. Building on the success of the HF 4WD, it featured a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with a 16-valve cylinder head, producing nearly 300 hp in full rally trim. Its upgraded all-wheel-drive system, with a viscous center differential and a Torsen rear differential, delivered superior grip and balance, giving drivers incredible confidence on any terrain.
The 16V made its spectacular debut at the 1989 Sanremo Rally, immediately taking victory and proving Lancia’s engineering excellence once again. Over the following seasons, it became one of the most dominant rally cars of its generation, securing multiple WRC Manufacturers’ and Drivers’ titles. Its combination of explosive performance, razor-sharp handling, and bulletproof reliability made it a legend on both gravel and tarmac, cementing its place as one of the most iconic cars in rallying history.
