In this exhilarating episode, Larry Chen takes us on a thrilling journey through the world of the Lancia Delta Futurista. This extraordinary machine, a true marvel of design and engineering, pushes the boundaries of automotive innovation. With a sleek carbon fiber body and three doors instead of the traditional five, this car is a sight to behold. The team at Podium Engineering faced the daunting task of removing an entire door, opting for a steel panel to enhance the car's structural integrity.
Through meticulous CAD modeling and clay prototyping, the team transformed the futuristic vision into a tangible reality. The front bonnet, carbon fiber skirt, and split tailgate are just a few of the striking modifications that set this car apart. The interior is a work of art, featuring machined aluminum door handles and a carbon fiber dashboard. Every detail, from the engine to the suspension, has been expertly upgraded to deliver a powerful driving experience.
With over 330 horsepower under the hood, this car is not just a beauty to behold but a beast on the road. The custom suspension, tubular subframe, and hidden roll cage ensure a smooth and thrilling ride. The front end, with its exposed carbon fiber and unique lighting elements, adds a touch of modern flair to this classic beauty. From the meticulous craftsmanship to the innovative design, the Lancia Delta Futurista is a true masterpiece that pays homage to the past while embracing the future of automotive excellence.
