It's a closely fought contest. The 1987 Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evoluzione II brings its unique character to the table, and the 1993 Lancia Delta Integrale Evoluzione II answers with its own distinct appeal. Both are excellent machines that reward their owners in different ways — there's no wrong answer here.
Few model names carry as much weight as the Lancia Delta HF Integrale. The 1987 and 1993 iterations represent different chapters in this storied nameplate's history, each reflecting the priorities and technologies of its era. On paper, the two are remarkably close in power output, with the 1987 Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evoluzione II producing 215 hp and the 1993 Lancia Delta Integrale Evoluzione II delivering 215 hp. Under the hood, the contrast is notable: the Lancia Delta HF Integrale uses a Inline-4 Turbo DOHC 16V displacing 1,995 cc, while the Lancia Delta relies on a Inline-4 with 1,995 cc. Both trade at comparable values on the collector market, making the choice between them largely one of personal preference.
