Lancia: an HF version for all future models in the range

Lancia plans to launch HF versions of all future models in its rangea manager told us at the the presentation of the 280-hp Lancia Ypsilon HF. This strategy promises to delight fans of Italian performance and elegance, with the introduction of sporting variants on every model, one year after the release of the basic version.

Lancia's plan is clear: the Lancia Ypsilon HF will be available in 2025, followed by the Lancia Gamma HF in 2027, then the Lancia Delta HF in 2029. Each HF version will be designed to deliver exceptional performance.

The Lancia Ypsilon HF is based on the CMP platform, future Lancia Gamma HF and Delta HF models will be built on the new STLA Medium platform. This change of platform opens the door to various technical possibilities for these future models. They could be equipped with four-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive transmissions, and will offer at least 280 horsepower, like the current Ypsilon HF. The confirmation of an HF version for every Lancia model underlines the brand's commitment to offering vehicles that combine elegance and performance.

As a reminder, the legendary Lancia Delta HF Integrale 16V offered 200hp of power in 4-wheel drive. A car that would win the World Rally Championship 2 years running, in 1989, 1990 and 1991.
