Lancia Delta HF Integrale 16V
After the ban of Group B cars Lancia participated at the world rally championship with the group A Delta. This particular car is the second evolution after the initial Delta 4x4 and the 8V Integrale. It was the only Martini sponsored Lancia WRC car that was painted red instead of white as the previous and next rally cars of the Lancia Martini team.
The bulges in the wheel arches were very popular in the '80s. The Integrale was one of the most characteristic examples of this design trend, which was used, also in the first BMW M3. This wheel arch bulges were used to accommodate bigger wheels and wider track on the fast versions of the cars and also to differentiate them from the humbler ones.
Apart from the red color this was the only Lancia Martini car to have this 'split' stickers.
Speedline split rim.

Lancia Lambda
Lamda was very innovative and the one that established Lancia as an avant-garde company of its age. It was the first mass production car that used a monocoque frame and because of that the passenger cabin is much lower and close to the ground than the car of its age.
The front suspension was independent (one of the first cars to incorporate such a design) and it used springs and dampers designed by Lancia.
