Thanks for making this, I live in the UK and there is about 40 Y10’s left although they are cherished by their owners very much, I hope to own one one day, amazing little car!
Thanks to you for watching the video. It is a car that I have always liked, also for its madness. I have owned almost all the small sports cars (AX GT, Corsa A GSI, 7 Renault 5 GT Turbo, 7 + 3 Punto GT Turbo, Fiesta XR2i, Fiesta RS Turbo, 2 205 GTi 1.9, 205 Rallye 1.3, 205 GTI 1.6, all 106 sports not to mention hot-hatches ... you can see some of them in my videos). I've never had the Y10 turbo, but I've driven it many times: fun and bad, but it's also very dangerous if you don't know how to drive it
I traded my 1978 HPE 2.0 (bought in 1982, as my first car after passing my test) for a 1986 Y10 Turbo. Mine was Bordeaux metallic with the matte black tailgate. (All turbos had matte black hatches). It had the electronic check, electronic heater controls, headlight wash wipe, front fogs and central locking, though it didn't operate on the boot! It was quite stealthy and was capable of frightening the shit out of jags on a motorway. You'd accelerate away and you'd see them squinting in the mirror trying to read what it was. It was so light, it accelerated really well. I got rid of it after loads of people told me it didn't suit me, buy I did have a load of fun. My next car was a Delta Turbo i.e. Which my ex-wife inherited when i took delivery of my 8v Integrale....those were the days....
Hey! It just came to my mind your video because of sometbing it apears on. In some part you say leather seats were never available. I just spotted an y10 turbo placed in italy and you can clearly see in the photos the leather seats...im curious to read your opinion.
For the first Y10 Turbo, in the brochures, leather seats appeared as an accessory on request. but in fact, officially, they were never available. But many artisans made them on request. probably the car was made in this way, or, much more likely, the seats of the '92 Y10 Ego were installed, which had a tobacco-colored Frau leather interior.
Hi, I'm from Ukraine. I have got the same car Lancia Y10 Turbo from my father and want to restore it. I'm finding any technical documentation on this model but not successfull. Also some replacement parts are not avaliable in my country and I couldn't find any analogs here. If somebody could help me with any additional technical information/documentation I will be very thankfull.
Hi first of all, congratulations on your Y10 Turbo and your willingness to restore it Finding specific parts or documentation for that car is very difficult, but not impossible. Here in Italy, you can find something at the various exhibitions dedicated to historic cars. You can try and place adverts on these 2 sites: autobelle.it / subito.it One specializes in historic cars and spare parts, the other is a very famous free classifieds site in Italy. Also I suggest you take a look in the forums of the model, in the generic ones of Lancia or Autobianchi (the brand under which it was marketed in Italy) Beyond Italy, look also in France or the UK, markets where the Y10 Turbo has been successful

From the UK and first car was a 1988 Fire LX. Fond memories of it. We had it from about 3 or 4 years old and my brother had a good go at destroying it before I got it. Having central locking, electric windows and an alcantara dashboard was a novelty 😂 Rust got so bad when it rained the horn would go off and it got to a point I couldnt open and close the tailgate for fear of lots of it falling off. The FIRE engine was incredible, still drove like a peach as the rest of the car disintegrated around it. I remember always yearning for a Turbo, but they were so rare even when Lancia were sold in the UK. A friend of a friend had one, that again was a bit ropey but mechanically v strong and by all accounts it was as mad as Id expected, think he sold it for fear of dying in it 😂
Thanks for this testimony The Y10 was a good product, but it had a rust problem. it was well laid out and very tastefully designed and interior. The engine was also really excellent: the Fire, if it is properly maintained, is indestructible. In my part there are still some. The last one I had was in 2020: it was one of the last ones built, a limited series called "Igloo" and equipped with an air conditioner. It had the 54 HP Fire 1108 Cc engine. You can find 2 videos of this on my channel. the Turbo was really bad, it had excellent acceleration and an overbearing pickup, and it quickly reached 180 km/h. I got to drive it many times and, if you exaggerated, it was very difficult to keep on the road. in fast corners taken at high speed, he tended to get on 2 wheels !!!! And, despite this, I want one !!!!! Also the later GT.ie. it wasn't bad at all, it wasn't as fast as the Turbo, but it defended itself very well... on mountain roads it managed to worry much more powerful cars, but even it, if it exaggerated, could quickly end up flat.
The Y10 Turbo was an absolutely insane car, but for that it had an aura of respect and terror .... I have had many small sports cars (practically all the known ones ... plus some elaborate ones, like a Peugeot 106 Turbo with over 200hp and a Punto GT with 240hp ....), and the character of the Y10 Turbo was remarkable ... and its road holding required uncommon driving skills. Thanks for watching the video. I invite you to subscribe to the channel ....
Very fast ....and very crazy. I have driven it many times: how much fun and how many scares .... The engine ran really strong and, contrary to popular belief, it was also reliable. The behavior was difficult to understand: it tended to focus too much on the front wheel and get up ..., but when you knew it ..... it riragava you with sensations that the cars of now no longer give I had the 4WD (find the video on the channel), but the particular layout of the rear suspension greatly improved the road holding
It would have been interesting if Lancia decided to run the Y10 Turbo in Group A touring car racing - might have given the dominant Toyota Corolla some competition!
here in Italy, they have set up various specimens for rallies, both Gr. N and Gr.A ... but it has not been followed up. in tourism .... I don't know how well the Y10 frame is suitable for the tracks
@@marmitacopalpexo9220 The alloy wheels have always been only on request. As standard it always had sheet metal rims with plastic wheel covers with 4 fixing holes and rectangular holes (like those shown in the various photos of the video).And the limited series Martini had the same wheel covers, but painted white
