Lancia Delta Integrale comes to the market and as close as possible to the cars of group A

The circulation of the hatchback Maturo Stradale will be 10 copies.
The Dutch company Maturo Competition Cars introduced the Lancia Delta Integrale restomod based on the cars of the rally Group A. It received a reinforced body, a 360-horsepower engine, a recalibrated suspension on Intrax components and an all-wheel drive with three differentials. The circulation of the hatchback Maturo Stradale will be 10 copies. The price is still unknown.
It seems that the laurels of Eugenio Amos, who elevated Lancia Delta Integrale restomodas to the rank of art, haunt many. After all, it was after the appearance of Futurista that the French GCK Exclusiv-e, and now the Dutch Maturo Competition Cars, presented their projects to resurrect the rally legend. In all these cases, we are talking about small series - from 10 to 36 copies. And a great price. For example, Automobili Amos restomod costs about 300,000 euros.
But if the Italians bribe with a three-door body, which the original Delta never had, and the French with an electric power plant, then in the Netherlands they decided to make restomods based on the cars of the rally Group A. The Delta Integrale 16V becomes the source, as in the case of the Futurista. These machines, unlike the Evoluzione, are easy to find for relatively little money. Each is taken apart to the screw. The body is reinforced with 250 spot welds and a roll cage, then epoxy primed and painted.
The outer panels of the Maturo Stradale are made of carbon fiber - this saves 50 kilograms of weight. The interior combines elements from road cars and Group A vehicles, although overall it remains recognizable. Regular seats are replaced with bucket seats, the steering wheel is from Abarth. The dashboard retained the spirit of the 90s, but assembled on modern components. The main finishing materials are carbon fiber, anodized aluminum, leather and faux suede.
Under the hood of the restomod there is a “turbo four” 2.0, as close as possible to the engines of Group A cars. The internal combustion engine received a turbocharger with new “insides”, other camshafts, pistons, connecting rods and fuel injectors. Boost pressure is increased from 1.2 to 1.8 bar, so the return is 360 forces and 500 Nm of torque. The motor is combined with a reinforced five-speed “mechanics”. But for the “gourmets” there is an alternative: a dog-leg box with spur gears that allows you to shift gears without depressing the clutch.
The all-wheel drive scheme remained the same. However, there are new cross-axle limited-slip differentials and a center differential with a viscous coupling lock. The axle shafts and shafts are made of special steel and can be twisted up to 40 degrees without deformation. The suspension uses Intrax adjustable struts with ARC technology to reduce unwanted body roll. Thanks to it, you can put softer springs, which improves the mechanical engagement of the wheels. Brakes - without booster, like on racing cars.

In total, Maturo Competition Cars is going to build 10 restomods. The price is still unknown.
