Lancia was once dominant in world rallying, with 15 World Rally Championships and three Constructors’ Championships, but has struggled in recent decades. However, there are signs of a comeback in Italy, as Lancia is returning to rallying with its latest release, the Ypsilon. The 1.2-litre turbocharged three-cylinder engine produces 215bhp, and the car features a five-speed sequential transmission and limited-slip differential. The Ypsilon HF model boasts a new roof scoop, vented bonnet, all-white alloys, and distinctive livery with blue streaks and 348 HF logos. While the Rally 4 HF will compete in the ‘R4’ class, it remains to be seen if this revival will lead to more high-performance models in the future.
