The glovebox auto-open is actually a feature. For when you need tissues or a rag to wipe off the sweat and other bodily fluids.

[@TedwardDrives]

😂

[@auggith]

other fluid you say 😭🤨

[@Banana_bread_]

Or for getting your insurance and proof of ownership out for the cops nice and quick!

[@Roddy_Zeh]

This comment deserved to be pinned. Just sayin'.

[@Bonsai2680]

To wipe all the white stuff away when you drive this car

[@marklima74]

I was the owner of that car until October last year and I had it registered as M123 WRC here in the UK. I see that some mods have been made to it since I let her go. Do you realise that it was one of the last integrales to roll off the production line and it was a special order colour. You’re not going to come across another Nero metalic black Evo2. I drove about 500 miles per year and it was kept in a bubble. I looked after her; please do the same.

[@marklima74]

BTW, in case you’re wondering, M signified the year of the car in the uk (it was a UK-bound car from factory) and WRC is self explanatory. However, the Integrale looks best without a front plate, especially as it blocks vital cooling vents

[@paolov73]

I think we’ve spoken at some point about it being a one off black Evo 2 as I stated that above. Absolutely lovely car mate.

[@davidemasotta6242]

Thank you for this explanation sir, I've always lusted after the Integrale and read everything i could get about them in many years but i was unaware of the fact a Evo 2 in Nero Metallizzato ever existed from factory. It's absolutely fantastic, and it being stock (altough i understand it has some mods now?) makes it even more special, i do truly believe there should be more appreciation for the "bone stock" Integrale out there.

[@marklima74]

@@davidemasotta6242 when it left my hands only the front discs and the stainless exhaust were not as original. I acquired certification from FCA Heritage (Centro Storico) that the colour was indeed correct for this car. For a car such as this, originality adds value. Untouched evo2 parcel shelves are like hen’s teeth!

[@onceltom]

500 A YEAR SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT. CATCH AND RELEASE.

[@alolanstarboy]

I remember seeing the Delta Integrale for the first time in NFS MW 2012 when I was younger and wondering why they included this ancient beater looking hatchback in the game. A few years later once I was older and wiser on the history of the car I of course had to go back in and give this car the proper attention that it deserved. Now that I think about it that also provides some insight on how non-car people probably look at these older cars that only us car guys really go crazy over 😅

[@robertrishel3685]

100% great point! I’m so glad my wife is a car “guy”, because my life would a little less if she weren’t!

[@Zay.vision]

Same story here!! I questioned why they added this car in NFS MW 2012 until I drove it. I loved throwing it around dirt races and the way it felt made it seem like a super dependable beater. I remember I would always run from the cops in it and feel like a badass because It was so rewarding losing them in a hot hatch rally monster

[@ugsl5236]

this is literally me when I was 8 and I even wanted my parents to get one before I realized it wasn't sold in America

[@houseking9211]

had that exact scenario the other day pointing out a 190e 2.5 non amg to someone

[@Clod_Datenshi]

In Italy we call it the "Deltone" which is a way to say "grande delta(big delta)", can't really translate it properly but that's how everyone calls it

[@cbrad-eo6nt]

Wait I might like Tedward's reviews better than Doug Demuro's. Has the first-peron perspective that's great about Regular Car Review test drives but for the whole damn thing, while covering just as many quirks and features as Fr. Douglas.

[@MrBones98]

I agree I reckon Doug just yaps too much, and drives too little

[@davidgrunberger]

Demuro is obnoxiously hyped up. It distracts from the vehicle.

[@danieleregoli812]

Can't stand snarly yappy De Muro and his high-pitched nasal laughter. Way tooooo opinionated and way toooo biased. Ted is from another planet altogether. And a REAL driver too.

[@furrysharker]

The glove box was just trying to say, 'Ciao!' :)

[@nicolamiriano9150]

Not only a great car, not only a beautiful car... This is a Lancia, and it represents how good this brand was.

[@ThePussukka]

That headlight adjustment is required on all cars in Europe, you adjust the headlights according to your load so you don't blind traffic with headlights pointing up.

[@argkatt9040]

As a europen it's weird that I never really thought of this, hope I haven't accidentally blinded someone. In my old car I saw that switch and thought: "Neat". Then I totally forgot about it. My current car does it automatically I believe.

[@The_One_Over_There]

my dad used to do the same, When hauling a lot in the back or when pulling a heavier trailer he would always let the headlights aim lower. it's one of those things i grew to to always check just in case

[@alf279]

Yes, I was a bit surprised Tedward pointed that out as an interesting feature as a European. I have only had two cars so far that didn't have it, one was a Suzuki Swift from 1994 which had literally zero options, the other a Ford Escort from 1988 with also literally zero options.

[@hugolafhugolaf]

How often do you actually load your car to the point where blinding people is a concern? Unless you drive with your high beams on all the time...

[@gattigatozza]

I love the styling of 80's Italian cars. Giugaro, Pininfarina, they had it going on. Fiat Panda, anyone? Of course, it wouldn't drive like this Integrale

[@DouweBuruma]

Hhmm…, the Alfa Romeo 75, or Milano for US market.

[@stefdem1533]

Panda 4x4 is offroader like a mountain goat ))) same 4x4 system as Merc GL

[@goosebee]

I love 80s design overall, so boxy and just makes you feel warm and fuzzy :D

[@SergeantSniper]

Pandas are adorable, I saw that Doug guy's KZbin video on it.

[@danieleregoli812]

The Integrale is a BIG LEGEND. The following over here is crazy!!! And I have to agree that hype in this case is SO justified. This is a car that is viciously amazing to drive, and devilishly intoxicating.

[@xoseaserestevezalvarez6242]

Oooooh yeeeeeah...! I'm agree...!

[@juniopavesi4141]

Italian here. I've driven one, it is not so fast compared to contemporary cars but very funny and simply a legend in terms of heritage. 20 years ago a pre owned one was also cheap to purchase, today is extremely rare and expensive. It can hit 120-130 k on the market, not for everybody :) Edit: In late '70s, the Delta project was made starting from the "Fiat Ritmo" chassis, a popular middle-priced hot hatch of that times. So, its handling is really noticeble since you are driving a project who is almost 50 years old!

Getting closer to driving an 037! It's almost like you're building a Lancia Resume for the sole purpose of getting to drive the crazy stuff lke the Stratos, 037, and former works racing cars.

[@Adam_Lyskawa]

Wow, this is probably the coolest car so far on the channel! IDK, I just love it's vintage looks and how it's crazy fast for a vintage car. The steering wheel is just... wow. The way the upper wheel seem lines up with the lane lines in the corners like it was a game or something...

I love 80’s and 90’s cars, and this is now one of them. Thank you for bringing a masterpiece into the light

[@Surestick88]

That has got to be one of the all-time great gauge clusters. The orange on black graphics/font, the cross-hair like lines through the gauges, all the little circles for the warning lights... When the Italians put their mind to design they can do great things. You could probably write a coffee-table book just on great Italian gauge clusters.

[@giorgoslanciadelta95]

She's not just a fast car... She is a LANCIA 🥰

[@GixxerRider1991]

The Lancia Delta is truly the Godfather of the modern performance hot hatch; so ahead of its time in so many ways. In my opinion Honda should have gone off script and done something like this with the new Civic Type R. It's way past time for a Civic that is AWD from the factory.

[@Blazs120gl]

7:24 _modern cars damp all of these gauges_ To be more specific, all those needle gauges are driven by stepper motors for 20+ years and it's the ECU telling them what to show, having no direct relation with the sensor values. This is why e.g. water temp gagues always settle at the center of the scale (at e.g. 90 degC or at a value that is considered normal) and only show a different value if they want to inform the driver about something (e.g. the engine has cooled back or starts to overheat). Indirect gauge control also makes it possible to create non-linear gauges.

[@Svendskommentar]

I love this episode and rally cars are cool. Yaris, I20, Fiesta - just beautiful. Today's car may be one of the most important cars, ever and from what I hear, it makes the widest smiles on the people lucky enough to drive it. :D

[@nicoloferrarese]

in Italy this car is sacred for car lovers🇮🇹🤤🚀

[@donaldfedosiuk1638]

There was one at Italian Car Day at Larz Andersen Park in Brookline, MA a few years back. An EVO I (I think) in a muted deep red, nestled among rows of Ferraris, Lambos, Alfas and even a few de Thomasos, with hardly anyone sparing a glance as they passed by. I spared it several long glances and also checked out the "FOR SALE' sign on one of the rear windows. $25 K would have taken it home, but a cooler head (and smaller bank account) prevailed that day. Regretted it ever since. Simply put -- I WANT ONE! lol

[@paolov73]

I’m sure I remember seeing this over here in the U.K. as the license plate is a U.K. type and if I remember correctly, this is a one off in black as the Evo 2 was never available in black. Also Evo 1 had the same headlights as the Evo 2.

[@humandroid53]

Nice, reminds me of how much better handling 70s Fiats were compared to normal cars. This would be another level.

[@lorenzoc.5351]

As Italian, I’m simply proud of this car, The Delta for us is one of most special cars of ever

[@houseking9211]

by far one of the coolest cars you've ever driven on the channel

[@arkeys74]

Modern cars have all kinds of electronics stability systems to keep you in check.. the Delta Integrale just opens the glovebox to warn you 😃

[@codyC423]

That was hilarious when the glovebox flew open as he was praising the car and talking about how it's got more to give. That was the most Italian thing I've ever seen

[@palanthis]

Cars like the Delta Integrale feel more organic and visceral, because it's all mechanical. No computer trickery.

[@cam2170]

Clicked immediately!

[@Scealmora]

The switchgear (lights,wipers etc) was also used in early 80s Ferrari, possibly the F40 too. The central switches do illuminate, just not very bright. An upgrade is an LED bulb that feeds fibre optics to each switch.

[@RetroRidingEveryday]

Lancia is a 115 years old car company. Now it is a sort of ghost industrially speaking (only one model sold exclusively in Italy) but, if you don't know its history, you cannot even imagine how many "first" Lancia has invented in car manufacturing engineering. Lancia had represented the best of made in Italy for many years, producing luxury, high quality, prestigious cars. Once they decided to go and compete in the Motorsport, they had been able to collect a huge and continuous success. Consider that, even after 30 years from their retirement from rallies, they still keep the record of world championships won (11 in total: 1/ Fulvia HF, 3/Stratos HF, 1/037, 6/Delta HF Integrale). Delta S4 didn't win because of the stop to Group B from FIA, but it still reminded as the most absolute monster ever seen on a rally track... Lancia brand will probably born again under Stellantis management.

That brake rotor, is it a Tarox? Looks just like the rotors I used to run on my Cup E30. My dad has the Alfa version of this, the Alfa 155 Q4. He didn't treat it how it should've been treated (brought it to a garage that to his face said he didn't want it), so yeah, his has a history of NOT running. I remember driving that thing though, it drives GREAT. Grip is a thing. Snow on flat 215 wide summer tires? No problem. These cars will outcorner a LOT.

Such a brilliant car. So many great things about it, but one of my favorite details of it is how good the visibility from the driver's seat is, especially compared to some modern sportscars.
