The Fabric that Counts

📍 ‘The new Integrale: proof that, done right, electrons can still give you goosebumps and tyre smoke.’

Yes, that Delta HF Integrale is coming back.

And no, it’s not just another badge-on-an-EV reboot.

The 2026 revival blends flared arches, electric grunt, and that wild Italian flair with proper motorsport DNA: Retro-modern, AWD, and rally-ready.

This isn’t your nephew’s crossover. If the original was a Ferrari in a hatchback suit, the new one might be a circuit-shocking reincarnation.

1986–1994 – The Legend Is Born

Lancia’s HF (High Fidelity) badge signals peak performance.

The Integrale dominated the WRC, winning six straight titles and parking itself permanently in the petrolhead pantheon.

1993 – Final Evolution

The Evo II rocks 215bhp, all-wheel drive, and box arches so wide they needed planning permission. It’s loud, raw, and impossibly cool.

2024 – Lancia Teases a Comeback

Rumblings begin. Stellantis confirms the Delta HF Integrale will return in 2026. Cue equal parts excitement and scepticism.

2025 – The Rally Roots Return

Lancia re-enters Rally4 with the Ypsilon HF. Suddenly, this isn’t just marketing—it’s motorsport again.

2026 – Electrified But Not Sanitised

The new Integrale was confirmed with the AWD dual-motor EV setup. 0–62mph in under 5 seconds.

Flared arches, LED quad lamps, and a red elephant badge all return.

Still Soulful, Now Silent

Inside? Alcantara, digital dials, bucket seats. Outside? Everything you loved, minus the oil leaks. This might be the first to howl if an EV can have a soul.

Market Focused, Emotion Led

Positioned to rival Alpine A290, ID.GTI and GR EVs—Lancia’s aim is to compete and matter again.

📍 ‘Yes, it’s built on a shared platform. But so is most haute couture. It’s what you do with the fabric that counts.’
