1989 Lancia Delta Integrale 8v from UK and Ireland - Comments

Nothing.

Awesome, sophisticated, refined, rally inspired and grin inducing!

I have had the car for about 6 months so far - previously I owned an HF Turbo and before that I owned....an HF Turbo. It was time to take the plunge and get a Grale. It is much more refined and effortless that the HF Turbo and awesome to drive - though I think it takes a while to 'learn' it's character - all those diffs do some funky things sometimes, and its' just knowing what has happened so that you can do it again. putting the power on in the right gear as you apex a corner gives an incredible rally style flick as the car catapaults out of the corner - this is only possible if you keep the pedal down through the inital understeer that occurs at the start of the corner though which requires a bit of bravery but its oh so worth it when you experience the sensation of flying out of the corner. Unlike any other car I have ever driven and so involving and sweet. Even my wife loves driving the Grale! Any excuse and shes out in it and she aint afraid to use a bit of boost either.

I am tempted to get an Abarth chip for the car which gives it more torque than a TVR Tuscan S! I think I might learn how to drive it more first and unravel the secrets of its capabilities which are a truly entertaining and rewarding experience.

Buy one - and make sure its been looked after with TLC. One of the best cars ever.

Thanks foe saying the 8v is a great car. I own a 8v and its the fastest car I've been in and the handling is good as you say you must be brave to push it.
