Model history and interesting facts The first generation of the Lancia Delta is a mid-range car produced by the Italian carmaker Lancia from 1979 to 1993 in 525 231 examples, including sports versions.
Awarded Car of the Year in 1980, the Delta was produced in four series: the first between 1979 and 1982, the second between 1983 and 1986, the third between 1986 and 1990, and the fourth and final between 1991 and 1993, excluding the 'Evoluzione' examples made by Maggiora until 1994.
Towards the end of 1990, the fourth and last series was introduced: new interior fabrics, new body colours, Dedra-style diamond alloy wheels, total elimination of rear identification markings, elimination of the 1300 engine (the LX versions would only have a 1500 engine), bonnet with Integrale 8v-style grille, white-coloured front indicators. The 1500 LX also gets the instrument cluster with HF-style circular indicators. The GT i. e. was boosted to 111 hp like the coeval Prisma. The HF Turbo versions now featured a front end with split round headlights and a domed bonnet like the Integrale 16v. At the birth of the Lancia Delta, no competition versions were planned, as in rally racing the Fiat-Lancia Group teams raced victorious cars such as the 131 Abarth and Stratos initially, and with the Lancia Rally 037 later. From 1982, however, a prototype with four-wheel drive was presented at the Turin Motor Show. The mechanics and chassis were those of the base model; the engine was a 1600 cm³ double overhead camshaft with turbocharger; it delivered 166 hp. A spreader differential with longitudinal PTO was mounted on the gearbox/ differential unit for transmission to the rear wheels. A self-locking differential was housed on the rear axle.
