Before becoming an ultra-exclusive automotive project, this car was already a legend in Italian hillclimb racing. Its story didn\u2019t begin in an engineering office or at a major automaker, but in a small workshop in the Marche region, centered around one driver: Marco Sbrollini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A mountain driver, first and foremost<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A native of Pergola, in the Marche region, Marco Sbrollini is an Italian driver and entrepreneur who specializes in hillclimb racing.\u00a0Competing in the CIVM (Campionato Italiano Velocit\u00e0 Montagna) championship and in several rounds of the European championship\u2014including the must-see Trento-Bondone\u2014he is quickly making a name for himself in the E1 class, reserved for heavily modified cars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For more than ten years, he will transform a Lancia Delta<\/a> Group A as an extreme racing prototype, before using it as the foundation for an even more ambitious project. His standout year remains 2017, when he won the E1 Italia Championship and the Northern Italy division with several class victories against much more modern cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The DELTA EVO<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sbrollini\u2019s car is officially a Lancia Delta Evo Group A, but it bears little resemblance to a production model anymore.\u00a0We\u2019ve already featured several of them in our articles, as the Delta is one of the favorite sedans among many tuners: examples include Bruno Ianello\u2019s S4 and the HF models by Mirko Bubnic and Norbert Handa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marco Sbrollini\u2019s modifications to the Deltav Evo include a complete reinforcement of the fuselage, a lower center of gravity, changes to the attachment points, and a switch to a quadrilateral (double-triangle) suspension system, an architecture that is completely different from that of the original Delta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The body is primarily made of handcrafted composite fiber, widened and optimized for competition. The aerodynamics have been extensively redesigned, featuring a large double-plane rear wing, numerous aerodynamic appendages, and optimized rear airflow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the hood, as with other Delta hill-climb race cars, there\u2019s a 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine derived from Fiat\/Lancia<\/a> but with CPS forged pistons and a high-flow Garrett turbocharger, delivering approximately 500 hp and over 60 mkg of torque. The drivetrain is one of the most advanced components, featuring a Zanghellini 6-speed sequential transmission, specialized front and rear differentials, and a Shiftec pneumatic control system operated from the steering wheel\u2014an architecture similar to that of modern rally cars<\/p>\n\n\n\n
