<p>Back when Japanese automakers like Mitsubishi and Subaru were still making awkward little econo-boxes, the Lancia Delta Integrale was the king of the hill on the rally circuit, kicking up dirt and taking championships in resplendent Martini livery. So when the Italian automaker <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/05/geneva-2008-lancia-unveils-new-delta/">revealed the new Delta</a>, nostalgic rally fans began twitching with excitement.</p>
<p>Although Lancia has yet to reveal any plans to make a high-performance version of the new Delta, one such rally fan has drawn up his impression of what form such a gravel-chomping beast could look like. For our part, we're hoping Lancia will take note and give us a new Integrale, complete with jumbo-turbo power and all-wheel-drive... however unlikely that may seem while sister company Abarth runs the IRC circuit with their <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/22/video-rally-racing-is-easier-than-it-looks/">pumped-up Super2000 Puntos</a>. Until that day comes, European customers will have to make do with the current front-drive 200hp 1.8-liter turbo to satisfy their longing for the good old days.</p>
