While we usually lean towards the traditional Porsches and Ferraris at The Status Life, we do occasionally find ourselves captivated by more contemporary vehicles as well, and that is precisely the scenario with this marvelous 1992 Lancia Delta Futurista by Automobili AMOS that was available for purchase through the folks at Collecting Cars. This striking-looking machine is a genuinely outstanding custom modern reinterpretation of the legendary Delta Integrale, which has been entirely redesigned and reconstructed by the crew at Automobili Amos to exacting standards.
Visually appealing and highly efficient under the bonnet, this splendid creation is powered by an enhanced 2.0-litre turbocharged 16-valve inline-four engine, capable of producing 330bhp, propelling all four wheels through a fortified five-speed manual transmission with a renovated limited-slip differential. Impressive engineering, don’t you think? This Delta Futurista is the third out of only 20 units to be manufactured, so you’ll be part of an extraordinarily exclusive group if you successfully acquire it.
This extraordinary 1992 Lancia Delta Futurista has been held by one proprietor since its inception, and the odometer reads a mere 2,614 Km (1,624 miles), portraying it in a remarkably pristine condition. Crafted by the Automobili Amos experts to align with the preferences of their client, it is constructed on an original Lancia Delta framework but has been otherwise entirely restructured, featuring a broader handcrafted aluminium body, a carbon-fibre ‘confango’ combined bonnet and wings, along with a carbon-fibre boot lid, spoiler, and rear bumper. Additionally, the rear doors have been eliminated in favor of a three-door layout, enabling the vehicle to be lighter by 90 kilograms compared to the original version.
Adorned in Grigio Lago Maggiore with Anthracite, Rosso Alfa Romeo, and carbon-fibre trim highlights, complemented by an Anthracite Alcantara-trimmed interior that is further enhanced by red contrasting stitching and seat belts, as well as carbon-fibre trim inserts, it’s nearly impossible not to be mesmerized by the visual appeal of this Lancia Futurista. The standard specifications include a versatile steering wheel, aluminum pedals, power windows, air conditioning, Recaro sport seats, a digital clock, LED headlights, an integrated roll cage, and an ‘overboost’ button.
