Integrale Evo 3

Well, let's put it this way : that's the third time I've seen that Ad with exactly those photographs ... the price has been EUR100k.

Are you asking the question was there an evo3, then yes the viola coloured car is classed by many as the only evo3.
basically the same as an evo2 but has raised power (about 250 bhp ) and has a unique to that car transmission.
The viola gets a good write up in the book Lancia Delta HF Integrale - The story of a champion by Werner Blaettel
I have not seen the car myself,however i have spoke with some that have and been told it was stunning.

Yes I was asking the question, as I have never seen or read any articles on this fabled car, only speak from some Integrale owners, mentioning that there actually was an Evo 3, must say, I do like it.

Wonder if Mr Lancia after the success of the Integrale ever thought of bringing back a similar car with modern day tech ect, better rust proofing, let me think? Delta Crysler or Delta Integrale, no brainer.

It would have been good to see lancia rise from the ashes of the bad press from the late70's/early 80's with the reputation that the integrale and other models have now established, but unfortunately the powers at the top seem to be more interested in the alfa mark being head of the  sporting models, with some fiats been tagged along as well.
we will have to wait for some new blood at the top, a change of directors/managers to realise what potential is being lost at present.
sad really when you look back at the marriage between the lancia mark and the history of rallying, where as in f1 alfa has been eclipsed as a distant memory to the ferrari mark.
maybe VW/AUDI  will stop chasing the alfa mark and buy lancia instead, ( good or bad thing, I don't know but they've done no wrong with Lamborghini or Bugatti ) and chose to give the best  rally car they produced an italian name ( quattro ).

If you were following the chrysler Delta Thread you will see that I was told by the Chrysler Salesman that a 285 BHP 4WD version is promised in 18 months, as the Chrysler Thema 6 cylinder engine is supposed to be rated at 285 BHP,  could be interesting. and I think it highly probable there would be a Lancia version?

Nice one Brian, those particular models may be well worth a look at, and maybe a test drive.
