Two years ago, Kimera launches EVO37a modern and absolutely gorgeous tribute to 1983 lancia 037 World racing tournament car. When Kimera put her EVO37 on Sardinia Rally’s starting line Last year, the coupe was worn with Team Martini color Used car model 1983. This year, Kimera is using a different Martini Racing paint color to launch an improved version of the Kimera EVO37 that is even closer to the original and celebrates seven Martini Racing Team World Championship titles do Lancia. provide. The 037 won a single title, the ultimate two-wheeler WRC entry to do so. Lancia River Delta S4 and its variants won the rest. Company boss Luca Betti once again worked with Miki Biasion, who has won consecutive WRC Driver’s Championships driving a Lancia Delta, and Lancia engineers at the time to brighten and sharpen the EVO37 into a 7 . Martini.
Starting with the performance tweaks, the turbocharged and supercharged 2.1-liter four-cylinder now makes 550 horsepower instead of 505 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque. Power is sent to the rear axle via a standard manual or optional sequential transmission, but the gears have shorter, more race-like ratios. Enthusiasts are invited to appreciate more of what lies behind the cockpit thanks to the new quick-release lower bumper as found on the Lancia 037 Evo 2. When undo the clips reveal a white four-tailpipe exhaust. ceramic coating suitable for the fresh coat of paint running along the exhaust.
The new one carbon fiber the aero package adds intakes behind the front doors, vents on the top of the fenders, and additional descending steps in the trim around the engine cover. New wheels reminiscent of the Delta Evoluzione, as well as the passenger compartment, are now made entirely of carbon fiber and help the car drop to about 2,425 pounds. The seats are inspired by those on the Delta S4, upholstered in blue perforated Alcantara leather with red stitching that matches the accents on the door tags and the roof. The gauges glow in fluorescent orange, and the knobs and knobs are arranged the same way as on the 1983 Lancia 037.
The Martini Racing Livery pearl effect white with blue, light blue and red bands most closely resembles the special edition Lancia Delta Martini 5 and Martini 6 cars, produced in the early 1990s to celebrate celebrate Delta’s fifth and sixth WRC titles. Other clear signs that this is something different are the words “World Rally Championship” along the sides and “Martini Racing” on the rear spoiler.
As with the first iteration, Kimera will only make 37 of the EVO37 Martini 7. We expect those light bars to be part of the package, as it would be a crime to drive this car without them. . Kimera doesn’t give a price tag, but somewhere north of 480,000 euros ($533,700 US) of the original is a good place to start dreaming.
