Lancia brings out the HF badge and makes its return to rallying

Lancia Fulvia, Beta, Stratos, 037 without forgetting the Delta, the Italian brand has a strong history with numerous championship victories to his credit. The HF coat of arms, for High-Fidelity, is back in action in competition, at a much more reasonable level than at the time of group B, or group A afterwards.

This Lancia Ypsilon HF is dedicated to the Rally 4 category, its 1.2 three-cylinder engine PureTech develops 212 hp and it is associated with a five-speed mechanical gearbox and a mechanical limited slip differential. Of course, its traction architecture remains the same. The technical sheet, however, pales in comparison to the production version developing 280 hp. But this helps contain costs.

As part of the officialization of this Ypsilon rally, the brand is launching the Trofeo Lancia Rally, a championship organized around six events of the 2025 Italian Rally Championship. rewards can reach €300,000. An ideal amount to get a better start in rallying.

In 2019, Peugeot had already marketed its 208 in the same categoryalso equipped with a PureTech motor base.
