Fresh from the late 1980s.
Google image search tells me it's a: Lancia Delta S4
It has 550hp?
I'm not sure if that's the race version only or a normal street car too. |

You gotta love those homologation cars.

When I saw that this AM, I was trying to figure out what it was without searching. I failed miserably.

At first I thought it was a Renault, I think there is a Renault that looks like that with the wide fenders but only 2 doors

Renault was my initial impression, but I knew that was not it. Then I thought Alfa, then other hot hatch stuff. Lancia never thumped my brain.

Eh, sorta. I believe that you’re thinking of the Renault R5 turbo. It too was a homologation car.

Saw one of these in the parking lot at work recently. Not rare, but I don't recall seeing one in a very long time. Nice car.
2003-ish Lexus SC430

Pulled up next to one of these at a stoplight yesterday. I was in my 87 Toyota pickup, a perfect example of everything that is completely opposite to the Maserati.
Nice looking car. Interesting sign of the gentrification of my region.

I like the old Toyota pickups. lets see a photo of yours!

That would require two things on my part.
A) I would have to take a picture of that shitty old truck.
2) I would have to open up some sort of photo hosting account.
Not sure which is likely to happen first.

no... the pictured one is a Delta HF integrale evo.
the crazy 500 HP S4 only looked vaguely like a delta. S4 had a tube frame with a center engine with both super- and turbo- charging and was banned with the end of group B.
he HF integrale was the next best thing, derived from a stock delta sedan 4WD with 16v heads, turbo, etc... the road- going version of the evoluzione was not so distant from the race car. it is around 200ish HP in stock configuration.

Saw a 2019 BMW i8 coupe heading north on the I-5 this morning. Traffic was too heavy to get a picture, but it looked like this.

Lamborghini Urus
The sound it made was pure joy. The sporty mom in yoga pants was also pretty darn nice to see also. |
