The Lancia Delta Integrale<\/a> has never really left the spotlight. More than thirty years after its rallying exploits, the Italian car continues to capture the imagination of collectors. But the example set to go up for auction on October 9, 2026, in Knokke-Heist, Belgium, isn\u2019t quite like other Deltas. It\u2019s a Delta Integrale \u00abFuturista\u00bb signed by Automobili Amos<\/a>, of which only 20 were produced. And this one is number 15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Broad Arrow Auctions estimates this car\u2019s value at between 325,000 and 425,000 euros for its sale held as part of The Zoute Concours Auction. That\u2019s a considerable sum, even for a Delta Integrale, which can be attributed to the work that went into transforming this rally icon into a much more modern interpretation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A thoroughly reimagined Delta Integrale<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Futurista was born from the imagination of Eugenio Amos, an Italian race car driver and collector. His idea was not simply to restore a Delta Integrale, but to preserve its character while thoroughly reworking its construction and handling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The body features hand-formed aluminum panels, while the hood, front fascia, tailgate, and spoilers are made primarily of carbon fiber. The rear doors have been eliminated, giving the Delta a particularly muscular three-door silhouette. The weight reduction is spectacular: 90 kg have been shaved off, resulting in a stated weight of 1,250 kg. Automobili Amos has also reworked the front suspension geometry and integrated a custom roll bar. Under the hood, the 2.0-liter turbocharged 16-valve four-cylinder engine now produces more than 300 ch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The interior stays true to this philosophy of blending the past with modernity. Inspired in particular by the legendary Delta S4, it features Recaro sport seats, Alcantara, and an aluminum pedal set, while retaining a few welcome conveniences such as air conditioning and power windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Number 15 of only 20 copies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The car featured here is indeed the Futurista No. 15 of the 20 built. It is based on a 1991 Lancia Delta Integrale, which was handed over to Automobili Amos in June 2019 before undergoing a complete transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its history, however, has an aesthetic quirk. When it rolled off the assembly line, it sported a purple paint job reminiscent of the famous Viola SE30 created by Lamborghini. After its current owner acquired it in September 2024 (he also owns other Lancias, Alfa Romeos, and a Kimera EVO37), he entrusted the car to DK Engineering to have it repainted in Blu Lord, a color closely associated with the Delta Integrale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It now features an Anthracite Alcantara interior and has only 1,678 kilometers on the odometer since its conversion. Its documentation includes, notably, the Automobili Amos manual, records detailing its Italian and British owners, recent technical inspections, and invoices from Automobili Amos and DK Engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Up to 425,000 euros for this modern Delta<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With only 20 cars produced, the Futurista is infinitely rarer than a traditional Delta Integrale. This No. 15 should therefore attract collectors when it goes under the hammer on October 9, 2026. The high estimate of 425,000 euros demonstrates just how much these modern reinterpretations of legendary cars have appreciated in value. It remains to be seen whether a bidder will be willing to exceed that threshold to walk away with one of the most exclusive Delta Integrales ever built.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's not the No. 15, but hop aboard this Lancia Delta Integrale Futurisa in the video below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
