Lancia Delta Club Italia - Mauro Forghieri

Описание: 🇬🇧 In 1992 the exclusive Club Italia entrusted Lancia's Product Manager with developing a very limited-edition Delta for Club members. The Club's website states: “The goal is to put evening suit on a car that has dominated rallies like no other, trying to enhance not only its performance and sportiness but also its elegance.” So 15 Lancia Deltas are built on the HF Integrale Evo 1 base with unique features: a very elegant Blu Lord for the bodywork, Club Italia stickers on the front hood and rear spoiler, petrol cap with visible aluminum ring nut and enameled Club Italia emblems on the sides. Under the hood the cylinder head cover is blue and yellow, a tribute to the Fulvia HF, and a strut bar appears between the suspensions. The interior is in burgundy Connolly leather, the Recaro seats are more supportive than standard ones and have the HF logo thermo-embossed. The teflon gearbox is operated by a spherical shift lever wrapped in a lowered cuff and lying on a carbon fiber plate, as well as the ignition button. Each Delta Club Italia is certified by two plates, one near the gearbox and the other in the engine compartment, which identify the special series and indicate the progressive numbering of specimens from 001 to 016 (013 doesn't exist). There is also a second plate in the engine compartment that bears the name of the car's owner. In the images is pictured the number 014, which belonged to the legendary Mauro Forghieri. Unfortunately, I was unable to photograph the name plaque, but the Modena plate is sufficiently meaningful.
