The Lancia ECV, standing for Experimental Composite Vehicle, was a prototype Group S rally car built by Lancia to replace the Delta S4 in the World Rally Championship for 1988. Group B and Group S cars were banned by the FIA in late 1986, so it never raced and Lancia developed the Group A Delta instead. Its 1,759 cc twin-turbocharged engine, named TriFlux, produced over 600 horsepower (448 kW), with crossed valves so two turbochargers could be fed from separate manifolds, though Group S rules would have limited output to 300 hp. It used Kevlar and carbon fibre to weigh 930 kg and wore a new red Martini colour scheme. The 1988 ECV 2 reused the first car's carbon-fibre chassis, designed by Carlo Gaino of Synthesis Design, with improved aerodynamics, and the restored ECV1 was shown at the Rally-Legend event in San Marino in October 2010.
