Lancia Delta Zagato Hyena

The Lancia Delta Zagato Hyena was a sporting coupe built by the Italian coachbuilder Zagato under the Lancia name in 1992 and 1993, derived from the Lancia Delta HF Integrale. The idea came from Paul Koot, a car distributor in the Netherlands, who proposed a small limited series coupe on the Delta HF Integrale chassis after Lancia turned the project down as economically counterproductive. Zagato took it up, but the Fiat Group would only allow the use of the Lancia name, so Zagato bought Delta HF Integrale cars on the market as donor cars. Marco Pedracini of the Zagato style centre drew the body in 1990, with a shortened wheelbase and light composite panels for body and cabin. The first prototype was shown at the 1992 Brussels motor show. The turbocharged 2.0 litre four cylinder with four wheel drive gave 250 horsepower, 35 more than the Delta HF Integrale. A run of 75 was planned, but only 25 were built.
