I wouldn’t want the Maturo logo everywhere. You mentioned the open gate box, but the camera did not pan back to actually show it unfortunately. The best alloys ever created. I had two Evos in the 90s. The Evo 1 I had was modified and had the torque of God. Spat flames. Scottish roads back then were mile upon mile of heaven, no cameras, no police.
Yo tuve primero el modelo inferior Lancia Delta HF turbo, tras ese me compré el HF Integrale 16v de 1991, y ha sido el mejor coche que he tenido en la vida !!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Selling restomods, its always a good idea pointing out as many weak points of the original as possible. 🙂 However I like this a lot more than that weird 2-door italian restomod two years ago
This provides a major lesson in good taste to restorers everywhere. Apart from the M logo, the car has been improved rather than molested. Lancia has an amazing back catalogue and more WRC wins than any other manufacturer: Stellantis need to wake up to this heritage. Meanwhile there are cynical Californian firms making absolute fools of Porsche owners with more money than sense. This is your wake up call.
Masterpiece ! . . . but, we're just not aware of it yet. These are the words of our compatriot; Niko Puljić, if you don't know who he is, ask Google Greetings from Croatia !
It would be good to see footage of this car being driven really hard around a range of tight corners and long bends. This video gave zero visual indication of this car's true capabilities.
I think it's there for 'character'. Pretty sure Maturo would do whatever turbo the owner wanted, if they wanted modern performance. I think a lot of the cost is down to the work they did reengineering a lot of Abarth and Lancia parts, that are so accurate they have FIA historic approval. So buying this car is not about being 'modern' per se, it's about the feel of the Group A car, in a road car, with some modern refinement, like the engine management, to take the hassle out of the design. The way they look at it, you get Group A performance with better than factory reliability. And like Singer, you don't have to tick every box on the list. They have the 'classic' spec, that just uprates the performance and handling without the 400hp or expensive bespoke suspension and brakes.
Oh my God I love these cars and usually all of the Evo uploads. However the teeth sucking and smacking you kept doing like a 3 year old with a piece of candy became extremely distracting as well as annoying very quickly. The car and cinematography is as beautiful as usual, now I will have mine as highly spec as possible in a beautiful metallic blue or white with Martini livery, medium silver finish on the wheels with a nice and fresh black interior.
Mechanically, yes. Visually? All the things they changed are uglier than the original. Having said that, and since this probably wont anyones daily driver, for the price might as well by a old Group A and get the real deal
"it's not just a restomod" ...ok well it kind of is just that, stop being pretentious. Why didn't you pop open the hood so we can see the engine? Also omg get a better lapel mic you can barely hear what you're saying compared to the voiceover audio. The price is a joke and just accepting it as an automotive journalist also makes you a joke, rather own two R8s or a Ferrari.
I saw the engine. Did the chip on your shoulder block your view? I loved hearing the car work, it made the talking less overwhelming. People who buy this aren't interested in price, just quality top to bottom and bespoke options. Go rev up your Nissan Note.
Why is it so difficult for native English speakers to put in some work in the pronunciation of iconic names or words from other languages? This is so ignorant in my opinion. If you make a whole video on an Italian icon, can't you take a few hours to learn how to pronounce the important names in Italian? And I'm not even Italian, but this is so ignorant
If EVO are using it, it will have average speed cameras on it in no time. Motoring journalists spoiled the Black Mountain pass by using it as their test track.
@@simmadpaul2880EVO and many other motoring journalist have been using this stretch of road for the past 15 years and it’s nothing like the EVO triangle, it’s only a small stretch of around 7 miles and I’ve just drove it on the way home from Port Talbot steel works @ 20.30 and I didn’t pass a single vehicle on the way over. There’s never much traffic using this road throughout the day, going to work at 7 in the morning, 3 vehicles in a line driving over is considered a traffic jam
@@TheDjcarlos67 check how much group A car cost back in the days. Just to cut you time it was 600000 german marks and that is equivalent to 600000 euro today
well spotted , i just fitted a td05 from an evo4 to an 8v kat , goes well :) dream to swap cores to boot and 70mm inlets to hks and screamer type o2 housing with a chromed and baffled vespa exhaust . front side exit. inverted dampers , with ers and 5kg / 3kgs perfect on 16”th2s . its good.
In 2001I was offered a Martini 5 special edition, but it had been repainted giallo fly yellow, it had 20,000 km on the clock, it also had the license plate WRC 5 which is now on a Volvo T5. Anyway it was for sale in a garage in Bristol for £8000 and they couldn't sell it!. It wasn't a cut and shut and we couldn't find anything wrong. The guy from the Lancia club reckoned the car should be about £18- 20,000 so that made me wary ,what finally killed that plan was the insurance which would have allowed me to drive it for 1500 miles per year!. If only 😪.
I love these, but completely out of my price range. Bought an Evo2 when they were cheap many years ago, a few mods like BWE chip, FE springs, Tarrox brakes, Supersprint exhaust transformed it to another level without stress cracks or blowing up the engine. I'm old now and its plenty for me. I'm not interested in breaking any records or being the fasted off the lights. If I was I would buy something quicker. For me its about driving one of the finest cars made, looking after it and being fabulously grateful that I was lucky to be in the position to be in the right place at the right time.
