The original Delta HF Evoluzione was launched in 1991. With design elements from the 2008 Lancia Delta HPE, Infomotori imagined how a future Delta HF will look like.
The dimensions have been shortened, as the original size was near the 4,50 meters. But ,uch of the details remind of the original HF: the front lights are round and double, but adaptative bixeno. Three huge air intakes “charge” the hood, in addition with the large radiator grill at the front. And adding the 20” alloy wheels, the design looks classic and sporty.
Under the hood there might be a turbo direct injection fuel 1.8 litres unit, capable of developing until 230 hp, thanks to the Multiair System: it is the great 1.8 JTB, which will powered the future Alfa Romeo cars.
