He also got the High Fidelity meaning wrong: it was an exclusive club of owners who had purchased at least 5 new Lancias, organized by the brand with events, meetings, and of course many advantages for the members. In the early 60s the club members started to race their cars under the club's name until Lancia finally decided to race as well using the HF name as its reparto corse (racing division). It must be noted that Lancia owners were mostly gentlemen at the time, to the point that Lancia made a small book and some badges called "Lancia chivalry" with a distinguished code of counduct for Lancia drivers on the streets.

[@marcobettencourt861]

And other corrections: HF it´s for "Helefantino Formula" that´s why ther´s an Elefhant. The pedals are not stock one´s, those are aftermarket and are fixed over the stock rubber ones The flash light it´s a malfunction, very common on italian brands in the 80´s The piece around the gear lever it´s a aftermarket piece from Isotta (aftermarket tuning company from italy), not a stock one! The light at the trunk it´s also aftermarket and probably is connected to the wires of the external back light, that´s why they have to be on. The original Delta doesn´t have a trunk light The side vent badge is also aftermarket. The stock ones are different. So...you wait for the perfect example of a Delta Integrale and...you get the wrong one! Lol

It was the equivalent of the "Smart for 2" (but with 4 seats) back in the sixties and it was a typical female car. Not a car anyone, apart young girls/ladies, would fancy.

The point is, in the front there’s always somebody, in the back just the children, sometimes. They don’t need luxury :)

[@lmlmd2714]

It also also the norm in Europe at the time. In European reviews of the era it was common for people to specify whether or not electric windows were fitted to both or front and rear, front only or not at all. Hatches in Europe were (and are) family vehicles, so it was generally regarded that the back seats are for kids, with the parents up front, so the back usually did get less creature comforts (and less stuff for the kids to play with / break). Personally also I don't see the point. Front electrics are for the driver to be able to lower the passenger window from their seat to be able to see clearly if the window has rain or frost on it, and to be able to put their own down in one quick press to pay for parking / tolls / drive-thru etc.

[@imnotamechanic3491]

It would act as a spoiler in that position. Because the car is AWD and front engined, and its a pretty light car, you would want extra traction on the back on rough surfaces. Some cars like the TVR Sagaris had a vertical spoiler as standard - and that was purely a road car. However, you are also right in that its providing a lot of drag, so really its just slowing you down and wasting fuel on the road - and doesn't make you look cool, especially if you put writing on it. Whereas the rest of the car is ultimate in cool.

Hi from Argentina. The 'HF' (High Fidelity) was due to the sound of the engines and their performance. Oh, and the tachometer doesn't turn in the opposite direction. It turns clockwise just like in most of the other vehicles, but it has a different starting point.

[@GeorgeTsiros]

The HF was because it was very much _like_ the rally car. Thus, "high fidelity". Doesn't have anything to do with the sound. Why would it? Fidelity in sound is a property, a quality, of sound _reproduction_ equipment. You say that an audio system has "high fidelity" when it reproduces the sound _accurately_ . You don't call the violin or the drums "high fidelity". They are not trying to replicate anything. However, since this car, the _entire_ car is trying to "replicate" the rally car (homologation and such), this "replication" is done accurately. Thus, it has a high fidelity.

el tacometro esta configurado de esa manera para que la zona roja de revolucion sea mas visibles, quien compraba ese auto en su epoca de gloria en donde no habia problemas en conseguir repuestos "por si acaso" lo hacia para sacarle jugo, la fiebre de los rally se sentia en el aire en esa epoca (italiano en argentina)

[@ollylewin]

Interesting fact: The wings on WRC cars and homologation cars such as this, has nothing to do with downforce. It's actually there to prevent the car nose diving over jumps. Of course it produces downforce as a side effect but that isn't its purpose.

[@RiseAndDespair]

No, this wing was precisely used to create extra downforce. Suffering from higher tire wear and less topspeed was the compromise. The wing layed flat in the African rally. Weight transfer is more important for jumps...
