I’m fortunate to have owned a 1989 Lancia Delta integrale 16v for a period of time. The car is a true homologation special, produced in limited numbers so that Lancia could take the car racing in Group A rally. I sold the car because I rarely drove it and it wasn’t the most comfortable vehicle given my tall frame. While I will never be able to afford one, perhaps today’s Good Find Friday car — a 1990 Lancia Delta integrale Futurista — corrects all the quibbles one could have with an original Delta integrale.

The Lancia Delta integrale Futurista is a product of Automobili Amos, which in shorthand I’d describe as an Italian version of Singer Reimagined. Founded by racing driver and collector Eugenio Amos, Automobili Amos emerged from a personal ambition to reinterpret the cars that shaped his early enthusiasm for driving—most notably the Lancia Delta integrale. The company was established to pursue a “restomod” approach, combining original donor vehicles with the latest materials and engineering.

Development of the Delta Futurista began as a collaboration with design studio BorromeodeSilva and engineering firm Podium Advanced Technologies, culminating in a limited production run of 20 cars revealed at the Grand Basel show. Amos’ intention was to produce a car not for rallying, but to project a combination of sporting elegance and the company has succeeded in that goal — brilliantly, in my opinion.

Today’s Good Find Friday car is a 1990 Lancia Delta integrale Futurista currently on consignment from ISSIMI in Munich, Germany with an asking price of €390,000 or around $460,000.

The donor vehicle for the Futurista is always a 16v integrale, rather than the rarer and more desirable EVO versions, hence the 1990 model year. The very first Futurista to be built and displayed was famously finished in Eugenio Amos’ favorite color of green, but today’s car wears a similar racy color: the Quartz Blue Pearl used on Subaru rally cars.

The exterior of the Futurista is extensively reworked using a combination of hand-formed aluminum and carbon fiber body panels. All original Delta integrales were 5-door hatchbacks, while the Futurista eliminates the rear doors for a more sporty look. The body overall  is widened to emphasize stance and accommodate updated running gear, while subtle aerodynamic refinements are integrated into the design. Modern lighting is incorporated front and rear but the design harks back to the 1980s design from the original car, preserving the Delta’s recognizable silhouette and charm.

If there’s a place where Automobili Amos really went for it, it’s the interior design. The original Delta integrale’s interior was sporty, with deeply bolstered Alcantara seats and enhanced instrumentation from the base car. The cabin of the Futurista is fully retrimmed to combine period-correct themes with upgraded materials and craftsmanship. Seating is upgraded with even more deeply bolstered Recaro seats draped in Alcantara, while the dashboard is completely redesigned in an homage to both the Delta integrale and Delta S4 rally car.

It’s an amazing upscale, matching the period details of the integrale with modern elegance. There’s a good bit of fun injected into the car as well, such as Mark Alexander Polo linen fabric inserts on the seats and doors of this example — evoking the Missoni fabric on the original car — plus custom steering wheel controls for lighting and turn signals and a “rocket” switch that functions as a start button.

The original, and iconic, Lampredi-derived twin-cam 16 valve turbocharged inline-four engine is retained in concept but substantially upgraded. Revisions include improvements to the intake, cooling, and exhaust systems, along with internal enhancements to increase output and reliability. The result is an increase in power to approximately 330 horsepower.

Chassis and drivetrain improvements include a strengthened transmission, revised differential, and a fully reengineered suspension system designed to improve handling precision and stability. The braking system is also upgraded with modern components to provide increased stopping power and consistency under load.

This particular car has traveled a scant 553 kilometers, or 331 miles, since it was delivered making it nearly-new in appearance and condition. A full-body paint protection film application plus ceramic coat and underbody sealant means this car is ready for some serious driving — something I hope the new owner does with gusto.

Only 20 Lancia Delta integrale Futurista cars were ever built making them extraordinarily rare on the open market, but they do show up from time to time. One was offered on Bring a Trailer in November of 2025 and failed to meet reserve with a high bid of $266,000. Immediately after, the car went to Broad Arrow’s Private Sales where it found a new owner at an undisclosed price.

I could find two previous public sales. One was a 1989 Lancia Delta integrale Futurista sold back in November of 2022, also by ISSIMI, for $600,000. That same car was offered on Collecting Cars in July of 2022 where it failed to meet reserve. The other is a white over red Futurista sold on Collecting Cars for $231,249.

Comps are rare for Futuristas. Exclusive cars like this are most often exchanged privately between like-minded collectors. The market is incredibly niche as well, since the average Futurist can cost more than twice as much as some of the ultra-rare variants of the original Delta integrale, such as the Edizione Finale or Martini 6.

As a fan of the iconic Lancia Delta integrale, I love the Futurista. That said, I have quibbles with the design. The size of the rear window relative to the front glass due to the removal of the rear door is awkward, and the front door really should have been extended to better balance the look. The sleek look of the frameless rear window is a bit stark relative to the rest of the car, so frameless windows on the front door may have been a smart move, though I hate frameless doors. The design works better in some colors than others.

I personally LOVE the Futurista interior and wouldn’t change a thing. It’s a beautiful cockpit, and I’m certain that the Futurista is a more solid, less rattly and more comfortable ride than the original Lancia Detla integrale.

If the design of the Futurista is a barrier but you love the idea of a reimagined Delta, Automobili Amos is not the only company offering Lancia Delta integrale restomods. Maturo Cars B.V. in The Netherlands also offers a fully rebuilt carbon-fiber bodied Delta integrale, though prices are similar to the Futurista and they only build 4 per year.

What do you think of the Lancia Delta integrale Futurista? Is it worth the asking price? Let me know in the comments!
