The Lancia DELTA HF Integrale Rally Car '92 is a 1992 WRC rally car produced by Lancia. It first appeared in Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec and has been featured in all subsequent mainline games up to Gran Turismo 6.
The car appears to be the #4 driven by Didier Auriol at the 1992 Monte Carlo Rally, who ended up finishing 1st in the rally and 3rd overall in the Driver's Championship of the 1992 WRC season, but won the Manufacturer's Championship for Martini Racing.
In-game description[]
"Won the WRC Manufacturer's Championship title 6 years in a row."
After Group B racing was dropped from the WRC in 1986, Lancia chose the Delta as their Group A machine. Converted to all-wheel drive and sporting a turbocharger, this high-performance was dubbed the HF4WD and entered the 1987 WRC. The following year, the Delta HF4WD was equipped with blister fenders and evolved into the Integrale. In 1990, the Integrale's engine was given a 16-valve head, increasing its power. However, the Toyota Celica was considerably quicker, and the Delta was the Driver's Championship snatched from its grasp by the Celica in 1990 and again in 1991. Thus, in 1992 Lancia released what would be called the final evolution of the Delta.
The new Integrale had better handling through body reinforcement and extensive revisions to the suspension. A spoiler was attached to the end of the roof to increase downforce. The torque split of the all-wheel-drive system was biased toward the rear wheels, making the car feel more like a rear-wheel-drive machine.
The Delta regained its competitive strength, and after joining forces with the Jolly Club team, drivers Juha Kankkunen and Didier Auriol participated in 11 of the 14 rounds in the series, with Auriol taking six wins, Kankkunen winning once, and Andrea Aghini also winning once, for a total of eight wins, giving Lancia the Constructor's Championship for the sixth consecutive year.
