Announced several months ago, Lancia finally unveils the Ypsilon HF, a high-performance version of its first all-electric model. Scheduled for launch in May 2025, this new car marks the beginning of a new era for Lancia. But that's not all, because Lancia also confirms its long-awaited return to the world of rallying with the Ypsilon Rally 4 HF.
The Lancia Ypsilon HF symbolizes the brand's spirit of performance. With a 100 % electric motor developing 240 hp (the same as in the Alfa Romeo Junior and Abarth 600), this car promises acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.8 seconds. It differs from the standard version in its lowered suspension, wider track and muscular design, inspired by the iconic models that have marked Lancia's history.
This new Ypsilon HF won't be alone on the market for long. That's right, Lancia also plans HF versions for Gamma and Delta models.
A few months ago, Lancia reintroduces the HF logoThe logo is a historic signature of the brand's high-performance models. The logo, which first appeared in 1960, has been revisited with a contemporary twist. LANCIA CORSE HF" logo, the legendary symbol of racing cars, is also making a comeback. Evoking speed and performance, this logo has been modernized while respecting the original colors and lines.
Lancia has a racing DNA, as evidenced by its impressive record of 15 World Rally Championships. Today, the brand is reviving this tradition with the introduction of theYpsilon Rally 4 HF. This rally car is equipped with a 1.2-litre turbocharged 212 hp engine, with a five-speed mechanical transmission and limited-slip differential.
According to Luca Napolitano, CEO of the Lancia brand, "Lancia has always been in people's hearts, thanks to its competitive soul and iconic models." With the Ypsilon HF and a return to rallying, Lancia intends to rekindle this passion. and look forward to an ambitious, electrifying future.
We can sometimes be critical of a lot of things, but Stellantis has the merit of unfolding the product plan that was foreseen: first, a few months ago, the new Lancia Ypsilonand today, the Lancia Ypsilon HF and the brand's return to rallying.
They're going to be world champions with a 1.2 puretoc 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Or with the fiat fly fire 3 cyl mounted on all Peugeot 1200 pure toc manufactured in latin america to replace the 1200 pure toc that is imposed on us in Europe.
I'm curious to see what the 240hp HF version will be like to drive. And also to see the new Ypsilon in real life.
For the Ypsilon Rally, they've got the nerve to use the PureTech 1.2, as the displacement suggests.
It really looks like nothing, staggering.
Well, here we are, getting out the Sunday suit to dress up Mamie Peugeot and parade her in front of the church. "Come and sit on this beautiful blue velvet, doesn't it remind you of anything? Don't worry, we'll explain...". So, Delta HF owners, know that you have in your hands the latest work of what Lancia, as a manufacturer, has put on the road. Stellantis is simply using the Lancia name under license to disguise the production of French vehicles. It's a bit like putting a Delta S4 body on a 208 Turbo 16, ptdr!!!! What a humiliation for Peugeot's biggest rally competitor during the Group B period...
These bosses won't listen !!! We'll have to sell these "cars" that don't correspond to our wishes !!! WE WANT REAL ITALIAN CARS WITH REAL MOTORS !!! Go to hell with your electrics and pure tech !!!!
