The Rally 037 is a vehicle designed by the Italian car manufacturer Lancia for rallying. Due to the homologation, there was also a street legal variant. A total of 257 Rally 037s were built in the 1980s.
Opened view
In May 2021, the Italian former rally driver Luca Betti presented a new edition,[2] which, like the Rally 037, is based on a Lancia Beta Montecarlo. However, only the passenger cell with the chassis number came from the Montecarlo. The remaining components were newly developed.[3] The new edition, limited to 37 copies, had its public premiere at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July 2021.[4] Production takes place in Piedmont, Italy at Kimera Automobili. The company name comes from the Italian language and stands for the chimera, a hybrid creature from Greek mythology. It can also be seen on the manufacturer's emblem.[5] The base price of the sports car before taxes initially was €400.000, but following major upgrades in terms of materials and technologies used, it was gradually raised to €720.000 in 2024.[3]
Specifications
Rear viewCockpit
The whole body of the EVO37 is made of carbon fiber. The suspension with two double wishbones at the rear was developed by Öhlins. The carbon-ceramic brake system comes from Brembo.[4][6] Compared to the Rally 037, the Kimera has been modernized and better equipped. For example, it has LED lights, an anti-lock braking system, air conditioning and a camera-based interior mirror.[3][4] The EVO37 has a weight of 1,100kg (2,400lb) and is powered by a 371kW (505hp) four-cylinder petrol engine with a displacement of 2150cc, custom-made from scratch by Italtecnica. In contrast to the Rally 037, the engine of the new edition not only has a supercharger, but also a turbocharger for the high power ranges: this kind of engine was present in the Lancia Delta S4, the successor of the Rally 037.[6] The car accelerates to 100km/h (62mph) in three seconds and has an estimated top speed of 310km/h (190mph). The 6-speed manual gearbox is made by Dana Graziano for Kimera Automobili.[3] The instrument cluster is a modern interpretation of the original Lancia 037's dashboard.
The personalisation possibilities on the EVO37 are almost endless: Kimera Automobili gives customers the chance to fully customise the car. Materials, colours, stitchings and inscriptions can be changed, thus creating endless possibilities.
