The new, more upmarket Delta hatchback, unveiled today, is designed to overcome memories of catastrophic rust, reliability and aftersales problems.
The new Delta is based on Fiat Bravo underpinnings stretched to a wheelbase of 2700mm. But unlike the 1990s model, which spawned four-wheel-drive rally specials like the Integrale, this one is more aligned with Lancia’s new luxury position in the marketplace.
It’s powered by a range of turbocharged engines, including 1.4 and 1.8 petrols and 1.6 and 2.0 diesels, mated to a choice of six-speed manual, semi-automatic and full auto transmissions. Power outputs will range from 120bhp to 200bhp in the range-topper. We’ll see the Delta for the first time at the 2008 Geneva Motor Show.
