Lancia Delta Integrale Evo I Martini 6 1992 |
In the 1990's, Lancia needed a replacement for their 2WD 037 world rally car which was being outclassed by the 4WD Audi Quattro. To remain competitive, Lancia inserted its own 4WD technology into the existing Delta platform to create the HF 4WD variant. This model initiated the continuous development of the incomparable and all-conquering HF Integrale which, from 1997 to 1992, claimed six consecutive World Rally Championships, a feat never yet surpassed. The HF 4WD evolved from the 8V Integrale to 16V Integrale, 16 EVO 1 to finally 16V EVO 2 with many production Stradale Special Editions of which the Martini 6 commemorates Lancia's 6th WRC win at the end of the 1992 season.

Set apart from the standard Delta Integrale, the Martini 6 was decorated in the iconic rally livery with stripes running down each side of the car and around the centre of the tailgate. Inside, the Recaro seats and interior trim were finished in a unique teal Alcantara with HF logos on the headrests. A large Lancia logo can be found on the rear of the roof and the rear-mounted spoiler is emblazoned with the famous 'Martini Racing' across it, replicating the rally-bred version. HF decals are applied high on each rear side panel and a 'World Rally Champion' badge adorns the tailgate along with the appropriate numeral '6' commemorating said number of championships. Inside, a carbon-fibre trim is fitted around the gear-lever and features a numbered plaque below it with the limited edition serial number.
