Italy's Kimera is back with a modern version of the stillborn Lancia 038 rally car.
, the Kimera EVO38 is inspired by the Lancia 038, an upgraded version of the 037 which never ended up being built.

The EVO38 is based on the Kimera EVO37 first shown in 2021, but has all-wheel drive and roughly 100 more horsepower. Kimera estimates about 600 hp, compared to 505 hp for the EVO37. Both modern cars use a 2.
Production will be limited to 38 cars. Kimera isn't discussing pricing, but for reference the EVO37 was priced at approximately $567,000 when it debuted in 2021. Kimera plans to start building the first cars later this year, but in the meantime it will debut a third model called the K-39 on June 22.

A new Ypsilon recently debuted as, and gives a long overdue redesign to what is currently the only model sold by Lancia. A new flagship model and a modern version of the Delta are expected in 2026 and 2028, respectively, also with electric powertrains.Viknesh Vijayenthiran - Editor
