Riassunto

This book records the complete history of the Lancia Delta Integrale - one of the best known and most successful rally cars of all time. This brand new, updated, edition includes the background and history of the model, the complete story of the road cars, and covers all the special editions of the Integrale - a vital aspect of the story.

The Integrale’s motorsport history is featured, detailing events, along with the development of factory built Integrales. Valuable information was provided by Sergio Limone, the chief engineer, and the late Giorgio Pianta, the chief test driver, from Turin in Italy.

The cars are now highly sought-after, and are turning ever more heads as the years pass. This book, produced in full color with original photographs, is a fitting tribute to this iconic car.

Recensione:

Italophile Peter Collins relates the development of the iconic Delta Integrale in some detail, both in competition and as a road car. He also covers a number of interesting one-offs and concepts that you may never have heard of, such as the cabrio built for the Agnelli family. The first edition was published 14 years ago, and it has been heavily updated with full colour images  many from the author's personal collection, which is a nice touch. --Classic & Sports Car

Author Peter Collins and I go back a long way and over the years, as well as enjoying the odd drink together, have visited most European race tracks in each others company, and have even rallied to Monte Carlo in the same car, my Lancia Fulvia 1.6 HF. You soon learn that Peter is not only passionate about Italian cars, but through his frequent trips to Turin and Milan, interviewing the good and the famous, has also become an acknowledged, if not leading, expert on the Lancia Integrale. The book itself is a gem, 160 pages crammed with facts, supported by informative illustrations, mostly colour images from the author's own collection. And by keeping peripheral early Lancia history to a minimum, maximum space is available to expanding the Delta story, from mundane family hatch-back and all the bits in between, before becoming six-time World Champion rally car. Good value and the ideal present. --Retro Speed

It's a capable thing, the Integrale, and this newly revised and updated book from Peter Collins, records the car's complete history including its creation and the background, covering both road and rally versions, and even the special editions of which there were more than a few. After dipping in value a few years ago they are now highly sought after again and continue to turn heads and this book is a fitting tribute. --tkc
