The Lancia Delta HF Integrale 8V is definitely one of the iconic cars in rally history. The first generation of the Lancia Delta, produced from 1979 to 1994, served as the basis for numerous successful developments and rally models. The HF Integrale 8V, introduced in 1988, was known for its powerful 2.0-liter turbo engine producing 185 horsepower (136 kW). The vehicle's all-wheel drive system provided impressive traction and control on various surfaces, making the HF Integrale 8V a favorite among rally drivers. The car's suspension, known for its adjustability and robustness, was also technically outstanding.

The combination of Italian design and technical innovation has made this vehicle a masterpiece in automotive history. The predecessor to the HF Integrale 8V was the Lancia Delta HF 4WD, which also featured all-wheel drive but with a slightly less powerful engine.
