Ultimate Lancia Delta Integrale showdown feat. Maturo Stradale | Henry Catchpole - The Driver’s Seat

Published 2024-07-29
To really show off the changes the Dutch company has made with the Stradale, we have gathered all three variants in Belgium and closed some roads to make a proper rally test stage. We’ve also brought along some timing gear and a professional driver, Kevin Abbring (who has won Rally Ypres on these very roads) to pit restomod and rally car against each other.
With 360bhp, the Maturo Stradale has considerably more power than a standard Lancia Delta Integrale Evo but in order make use of it, there has also been plenty of stiffening in the chassis. To help save weight, there is carbon fibre bodywork, which stays very true to the gorgeous original in terms of aesthetics, so that a casual glance wouldn’t arouse suspicion. However, look closer and you will see delightful details like the ‘M’ supports for the rear wing.
Inside, the car has been beautifully trimmed with tan Alcantara that contrasts with the naked carbon fibre. The bucket seats in the front place the driver much lower behind the wheel and there is a lovely, simple, tall gear-lever. Although there is a full roll cage, the brace across the rear can be removed in order to make use of the rear seats, retaining the original’s practicality.
This Maturo pre-production prototype is light on sound deadening, but the customer cars will have a little more refinement (should they want it). Nonetheless, this is very much a rally car in spirit. Just like the Prodrive P25 Impreza, the Kimera EVO37 and MST’s Mk1 and Mk2, it places a premium on dynamics and faithful recreation of the genuine WRC articles.

In 1990 I joined the Navy and was stationed in Japan. I was big into cars (first Skyline I owned was in 1992), but had never heard of WRC or even F1. Japanese TV played them in real time, mostly in the middle of the night, and I’ve been a fan ever since. Thanks to DVRs I can get regular sleep now.

Superb! Love the Integrale EVO I/II. Miss mine actually. A part of me hopes they can sell more of them, however another part wishes for most to remain original.
