[#Steeven.™]

Kimera Automobili is known for its way of remembering the classics, of recovering a copy of the size of the Lancia 037. That car has been a world rally champion and they do not want to let it fall into oblivion. That is why they launch the Kimera EVO37 Martini 7, a special configuration of their model that celebrates the seven world victories of the Lancia Martini Racing Team. It is dressed in what is probably the best known respected livery, featuring the colors blue, sky blue and red in a stripe on a white base.

The EVO37 is a limited run copy that is limited to just 37 units. One of the first was delivered in Spain to Teo Martín and now we know another with a more racing configuration that refers to the successes in competition in the 80s and 90s. In fact, for its development they have had a two-time world champion of rallies, the Italian Miki Biasion. With his help from him, a further evolution of the already outstanding classic-cut coupe was made, but with modern elements, a full-fledged restomod.

The exterior features an unprecedented carbon aerodynamic package with a few additional elements. The NACA air intakes on the hood, the front splitter or the side skirts stand out, while the rear window also presents new air extraction openings. The wheels are a clear nod to the past, as their design is traced to those of the Lancias of those glorious years. The decoration consists of the Martini Racing credentials and the stripe with its three colors on the perimeter of the car,

The interior of the Kimera EVO37 Martini 7 is made of exposed carbon fiber and blue Alcantara with contrasting red stitching. That material on the seats, door panels, and roof is reminiscent of the legendary Group B Delta S4. The dashboard is the same fluorescent orange color as the rev counters on race cars, and each button is labeled exactly as it was at the time. , have been based on the original models for their development.

In addition, it must be said that the intensive use of carbon fiber and kevlar has managed to leave the weight of this specimen at just 1,100 kg. There's also a power boost to the doubly supercharged 2.1-litre inline-four to bring it down to 550bhp. The math does not fail and leaves him with a power weight ratio of 2 kg/CV, a very remarkable figure.

In short, the Kimera EVO37 Martini 7 combines the style, flavor and charm of a true racing king, but with the characteristics of a modern car in terms of technology, quality and performance. One of the best modern tributes to the ultimate two-wheel-drive Group B that won the world title by beating its all-wheel drive rivals.
