At the Geneva Motor Show 2024, Kimera Automobili unveiled the Evo38, a tribute to the 80s Rally Cars Lancia WRC. Luca Betti, the founder and CEO of Kimera, introduces the Evo38 as an evolution of the iconic Lancia 037, representing the rich tradition of Italian cars from the 80s made in Torino. The car poses a hypothetical scenario of what if Lancia had never shifted from the 037 to the Delta, imagining this model as a continuation of Lancia's legacy.

The Evo38 boasts an impressive 600 horsepower, a chassis weighing less than 1,000 kilograms, and a four-wheel-drive system. The rear layout features a high intake on the top to direct air onto the turbo, with a valve allowing the exhaust to exit from the back, showcasing a mechanical and drivable design for an enjoyable driving experience. The car is described as a synthesis of the cultural heritage of the Italian land.

The history of Lancia's rally cars is narrated, starting from the Beta Monte Carlo in the late '70s to the iconic Lancia 037 that won the World Championship in 1983. The subsequent evolution of Lancia's rally cars, including the Delta S4, is outlined, emphasizing the glorious period of Martini Racing Team and the shift to the Delta Evolution. Kimera's goal is to pay tribute to this rich history by creating a car that synthesizes the magnificence of its predecessors.

Luca Betti C, with a long history as a professional rally driver, shares his personal connection to these cars. He recounts his father's victory in the Italian Rally Championship in 1980 with the Lancia Stratos and his own career that spanned from 1998 to being an official manufacturer for Renault and Honda. After retiring, Betti transformed his career into a rally engineering factory and is now establishing Kimera as a brand.

The Evo38 is a limited edition with only 38 pieces, and nine cars have already been sold. Interested buyers can place orders at the Geneva Motor Show. Betti mentions that the production time for a car is around 1.5 years. The car is designed for normal roads and rallies, offering a unique driving experience. The color of the Evo38 is customizable, allowing buyers to create a unique combination.

Kimera's tribute extends beyond the history of Lancia, as the brand is actively writing its own story. The conversation highlights the allure of rally as a sport and the collaborative effort of a team of two people – the driver and the co-pilot. The Evo38 is positioned as the "final gun" for normal roads, particularly in mountainous regions, reflecting the brand's dedication to producing a high-performance and versatile vehicle.
