The Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evoluzione II is the final and most refined evolution of Lancia's legendary Group A rally icon.

In the Simulator Feel

The Delta HF is a compact, torque-rich rally weapon that feels eager and mechanical in the sim. Its short wheelbase makes it quick to change direction, while the AWD system gives it tremendous traction out of slower corners and on loose surfaces. It is not the most forgiving car at the limit, though — lift mid-corner or get greedy with throttle and the Delta can rotate abruptly, rewarding committed but tidy inputs.

Engine & Sound: The 2.0-liter turbo four has a raw, urgent character with noticeable turbo spool and plenty of mid-range shove. In the sim, it delivers that classic Group A soundtrack: snarling induction, popping overrun, and a hard-edged rally exhaust note that builds excitement as boost comes on strong.

Handling Characteristics:

  • Cornering: Fast turn-in and excellent rotation, especially on tighter stages. Can feel nervous if you enter too hot.

  • Traction: Strong drive off the corner thanks to AWD, making it highly effective on gravel and mixed grip surfaces.

  • Braking: Good stopping power, but weight transfer needs to be managed carefully to keep the rear settled.

  • Top Speed: Respectable for a rally car, though acceleration and responsiveness matter far more than outright speed.

Driving Style Tip: Keep the Delta active and balanced. Use left-foot braking, trail brake into apexes, and let the AWD system pull you out of the corner rather than overdriving the front tires. It shines on narrow, technical stages where momentum and precision beat raw horsepower.

Livery & Aesthetics: The Delta HF is instantly recognizable in its boxy, widened Evo II bodywork, flared arches, rally stance, and iconic Martini-era silhouette. Even in street or test trims, it carries the unmistakable presence of a homologation special born to win championships.

Whether you're attacking gravel stages, tarmac rallies, or classic special stages, the Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evoluzione II remains one of the most entertaining and charismatic rally cars ever made — a true turbocharged legend.
