PARTING WITH A COUPLE RALLY LEGENDS

Lancia Delta Integrale Evo I
Lancia Delta Integrale Evo I Martini 5 Special Edition

It may be a good while before we see four Evos together under one roof again, at least in North America. Two of the Integrales will be leaving for German soil this coming week. One of which is the Evo I Martini 5 Special Edition, only four-hundred were ever built. Released in 1992 to commemorate Lancia for their fifth World Rally Championship title. This model had the original Martini 5 motif updated with that of the Martini 6, the larger 17 inch Speedline Montecarlo wheels were also fitted along with a Group-B exhaust system.

The second car is also an Evo I. Though not of Special Edition class, it is still a gem.

INTEGRALE GETS THE FAMOUS EVO BRAKE TREATMENT

You may have noticed by now we love our brakes here at Evo Garage. Although the Evo already had Brembo 4-pots from factory, as previously stated, they just weren’t cutting it. At the moment it’s quite hard to see the custom brake setup with these Speedline Monte Carlos, once the skies start clearing up the Speedline Champions will be making an appearance.

FAREWELL TO A PIECE OF HISTORY

For the record, this was the one and only Lancia Hyena in the whole of North America. It is now being shipped half way around the world to it’s new home. This Zagato designed Lancia for most of you may be blank stare followed by a question mark. Like it or not, it was a total privilege to have experienced one of these first hand.

AP RACING FOR THE INTEGRALE EVO

What to you do when you feel you’re brakes aren’t performing to where you would like them to be. Go in the direction of what professionals would use, go above and beyond. Don’t at any point ask yourself “Do I really need this?” Chances are you don’t. BUT rest assured whatever it is you are dealing with will no longer be a problem.

This custom setup tailored to the Integrale Evo was derived from said solution. Having changed rotors and pads TWICE with no significant results, because saving money at the time felt like a great idea, one had to stop and ask. “WHY!?” To be annoyed, angered, stressed, having wasted time by an object just seemed unnecessary. We are reminded of a famous quote at this time “It is expected when playing with cars.” So just get it done right the first time.

MORE RARE THAN YOUR DEFINITION OF RARE

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.

LEDA SYSTEM INSTALL ON THE INTEGRALE EVO

The superior suspension setup consisting of Koni Yellows with Eibach springs were taken out of the Integrale Evo a couple nights ago, from the car to it’s final resting place, the trash bin. For it’s replacement the Evo was given a brand new set of custom made 24-way adjustable bound and rebound Leda coilovers paired to some Eibach springs.

Because spending money on expensive pretty lug nuts are a must, extended studs were installed to the front and rear hubs, replacing the traditional European concept of using wheel bolts.

NEW GOODIES FOR THE GRALE
