The Original: A Queen of the Stages
The Lancia Delta Integrale 16V was born in 1989 from the natural evolution of the Delta HF 4WD. This 16-valve version develops 210 horsepower thanks to its 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, a remarkable power for the time. The permanent four-wheel drive and the torque distribution of 56% rear / 44% front make it a formidable weapon on all terrains.
The Tour de Corse 1990 constituted one of the finest demonstrations of the technical superiority of this Lancia. On the winding Corsican roads, the Delta Integrale reveals all its versatility, combining power and maneuverability with perfect trajectory control on the Mediterranean asphalt.
This victory is part of an impressive series of successes that allowed Lancia to dominate the World Rally Championship for six consecutive years, a record that remains unmatched to this day.
Lancia: Italian Excellence in Sports
In 1990, Lancia experienced its finest hours in competition. The Turin brand, with its heritage in rallying since the 1970s with the Stratos, developed unmatched technical expertise. The total commitment of management in the rally program translates into massive investments in research and development.
Founded in 1906 by Vincenzo Lancia, the Italian brand quickly built a reputation as an innovator. A pioneer in the use of monocoque chassis, independent front suspension, and V engines, Lancia has always prioritized technical audacity. This philosophy culminated with the Delta, which concentrates all the brand's know-how in four-wheel drive and aerodynamic optimization.
The golden age of the 1980s-1990s positioned Lancia as the absolute reference in global rallying, a domination that undeniably forged the legend of the Delta Integrale and its multiple evolutions.
A Memorable French Epic
The Tour de Corse 1990 remains etched in memories as one of the most beautiful victories of Bruno Saby in the World Championship. The Aveyron driver, accustomed to podiums on his home soil, produced one of his most accomplished performances. Paired with Daniel Grataloup, an experienced co-driver, the French duo made a perfectly tuned pair to the subtleties of Corsican rallying.
This victory has a particular significance as it comes at a time when Japanese competition began to emerge with the Toyota Celica GT-Four and Subaru Legacy. The show of strength from Delta number 9 proves that the European school of rallying still retains all its strengths against the new technologies from Asia.
The year 1990 also marks the peak of the popularity of rallying in France. The Corsican stages attract thousands of spectators who come to watch these 300-horsepower beasts negotiate hairpin turns at breathtaking speeds. The Delta Integrale, with its compact silhouette and imposing rear wing, perfectly embodies this golden age.
This race also remains in history for the fierce battle fought with other Lancia crews, illustrating the depth of the Italian field and the technical supremacy of the trident brand on all terrains in the world championship.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.
Concretely, a 1/18 scale Ferrari model is approximately 25-30 cm long, while in 1/43 scale it measures approximately 10 cm.
What scales are available?
Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
The smaller the second number, the larger the model car (e.g. 1/18 is larger than 1/43).
Does the model car come with protection?
Yes, each model car is systematically delivered in its protective box. This box preserves the collectible value and protects your model car from dust and shocks.
