The Iconic Lancia 037 Returns With 550HP
If you appreciate restomods that preserve the soul of the original while pushing performance forward, the 2026 Singer Porsche 911 DLS Turbo takes a similarly obsessive approach to engineering and detail.
Kimera’s latest tribute to the venerable Lancia 037 is the impresive Kimera EVO37 Martini7, a limited edition car, developed in collaboration with Martini and Miki Biasion, to celebrate Martini Racing Team's seven World Rally Champion titles. It pays tribute to the iconic Lancia 037 and its success in the 80s and 90s, with a white bodywork and the same stripes, colors, and lettering as the previous celebratory editions. The car has a carbon aero package, Kevlar, and carbon fiber body panels, and a power-to-weight ratio of about 0.22 hp per pound.
For another lightweight icon reimagined for modern driving, the Encor Series 1 Lotus Esprit blends classic wedge era styling with a sharper contemporary execution.
The car uses a 2.1-liter turbocharged and supercharged four-cylinder engine and a Lancia Beta Monte Carlo chassis. The car also has a quick-release system on the rear bumper that exposes the gearbox and exhaust, paying homage to the Lancia 037 group B Evo 2. With unique graphics and the words "World Rally Champion" on the side, the Kimera EVO37 Martini7 is a love letter to the Lancia 037 and a celebration of the Martini Racing team's victories. watch the video below
