Love it, hate it or just plain don’t understand it… The Lancia Hyena is just that.

The floor-pan structure, power unit and foot-work is of the Delta Integrale. Everything else moving upward was designed by the late Marco Pedracini, possibly better known as Zagato to you younger chaps.

The two-door body is made up of composite/alloy, as for the interior, you will find yourself overwhelmed with carbon fiber. Because of this the Hyena is about 200 kilograms lighter than the original Integrale.

This particular Hyena did make a pit stop in Japan before coming home to Canada. The exhaust system and entire foot work department was completely swapped with everything PRESTO JAPAN had to offer.

It’s not something you see everyday, let alone drive one. I had the pleasure of just that this evening. Only 24 of these were ever made, and there is only one in the whole of North America.
