Do you know the 'Integrale'?

emafromitaly · 02-18-2005, 02:31 PM

Hello people!

I have registered today in this forum and i want to khnow if some of you have ever seen in United states a 'Lancia Delta Integrale'.

It is a real Italian rally car, she wons 1987-88-89-90-91-92 World Rally Championship, and today is one of the greatest rally-car of the hystory.

Probably, it has never been imported in USA, and pheraps most people have never seen one of these.

Here is my 'Queen':

It is a 'limited edition' called 'Pearl White', built in 365 units.
It has a 2000 cc engine turbo (Garret T4) with about 280 horse power.
The maximum speed is not so high, only about 150 miles/hour.

But the 0-60 miles/hour is registered in less than 5,6 seconds (higher than most Ferrari) and the 4 wheel drive warranty a very secutity driving.

Do you like 'The Queen'?

I've never seen one, but I had a video game called "STUNTS" that had that car in it, it was much faster around tight courses than all but the true race cars.

Welcome to AF, emafromitaly

As you can see in the Lancia forum I'm a very big Integrale fan. I really wanted to buy one a few years ago and they still make me tingle inside whenever i see one.

I absolutely love these cars, and the Bianco Perlato limited edition is very nice. I also like the Lagos Blu and Giallo Ginestra versions

I've never seen on in the US, but if I did I'd have to own one! Nice car! Welcome to the forums

Hello crayzayjay, hello curtis!

Thanks for your welcome!

One of my best friends has a Blu Lagos. We always go toghether at many Delta-meeteng around Italy.
Next Delta meeting we will go, will be on 13 March at the 'Fiorano circuit', just near 'Maranello', the Ferrari's home!!

We are enthusiast of this next meeting! 'Fiorano circuit' is the track where Ferrari tests every cars, even the Formula1. And on 13 March, the track will be only open for our 'Integrale club' and for 'Hystorical Lancia Club'.........

I purposely painted two helmets (one for me and one for my wife) as the same color of my car...... look at this:

And now, i'm trying to fix a camera-car on my Integrale.......

I think we will have very fun that day!!!!!!

I hope you understand what i say, because my english is very orrible...... scuse me for this......

Don't worry about your English, it's very good

If you take some pics or videos at the Integrale meet, share them with us if you can. Oh, and nice helmets

One question... how much (€) does a good Integrale go for in Italy these days? Or should i ask, are there any good ones left?

Thanks!

I have many many videos and many many pics of our meeting. One of these days i will show it to you! But i'm sure that the best video and pics, will be the ones we will do at 'Fiorano'!

Unfortunately, many 'Integrale', has finished in hands of young people that have made a bad use without respect....... The engine is already very powerfully, but many people, trying to obtain more horse power, has corrupted many mechanical parts......
So you can see many Integrale wrapped in a oil smoke cloud......
And installing a lowered and hard suspension, you inexorably leaks the already fragile chassis.....

The number of very good Integrale is very low.
One kind like the mine, is a limited edition and you cand find one of this in Italy paying a price around 25-30000 euros (25-30000 dollars).
One non limited edition, costs around 12-15000 euros (12-15000 dollars), and there are two special edition very expensive: the 'Final Edition' and the 'Club Italia'. The 'Club Italia' was producted in only 15 units and now, the price for it is around 50000 euro.

Ah yes, the Club Italia, with the red leather interior... I doubt i'll ever see one.

Do remember to post pics after Fiorano
