www.QV500.com - Lancia Delta HF Integrale Part 4: Integrale 16v Evolution I Special Edition
 

Delta HF Integrale 16v Evoluzione I 'Martini 5' 		Four special edition Integrale's were made using the Evoluzione I, these boosting sales and helping recoup Lancia's investment. First to arrive was the 'Martini 5' in January 1992. 400 got built to celebrate winning the 1991 World Rally Championship, the fifth consecutive time a Delta had done so. Each car was painted white with body-coloured wheels and Martini stripes to the sides and tailgate. High-backed HF-embossed Recaro seats were standard along with black alcantara trim, red stitching and red seat belts. Each car got a numbered plaque on the centre console and 'World Rally Champion' badge on the tailgate.
   

Those for whom the 'Martini 5' was a little too garish could opt for the 'Verde York' instead. Lancia built 200, all of which came with special dark green paint, a body-coloured rear spoiler, high-backed Recaro seats and tan leather trim. The 'Verde York' also came with a 'World Rally Champion' badge on the tailgate and numbered plaque on the centre console. Less of a commercial proposition was the 'Club Italia', a mere 15 being built for members of the Italian institution. All came in Lord Blue with a body-coloured rear spoiler, high-backed HF-embossed Recaro seats, red leather trim, drilled alloy pedals and a pushbutton starter. There was also 'Club Italia' text on the rear spoiler and leading edge of the bonnet plus enamelled Club Italia wingshields. The cam covers were painted HF blue and yellow, the engine bay featuring a plaque carrying the name of the first owner whilst there was an additional numbered plaque on the centre console. In many ways, this was the ultimate Evoluzione. Finally, to celebrate winning the Manufacturers title in 1992, Lancia produced a second batch of works-liveried Integrale's.
   

Delta HF Integrale 16v Evoluzione I 'Martini 5' 		Known as the 'Martini 6', 310 were manufactured. Every 'Martini 6' came painted white with a body-coloured rear spoiler and matching wheels. Martini stripes were applied to the sides and tailgate along with HF decals to the C-pillars, 'Martini Racing' text on the rear spoiler, 'World Rally Champion' text at the base of each front door and a large Lancia shield on the roof. Inside, Lancia fitted high-backed HF-embossed Recaro seats, light Martini-blue alcantara trim, red stitching, red seatbelts, a carbonfibre gear surround, a numbered plaque on the centre console and '6 World Rally Champion' tailgate badging.
