Doug DeMuro gives the 1993 Lancia Delta Integrale Evo 2 a strong 70/100 rating, praising it as his all-time favorite hot hatch with exceptional design and cabin tech that include a functional adjustable rear wing, integrated racing tow hook, and a distinctive two-spoke Momo steering wheel with an integrated lap timer. The car delivers impressive performance for its 215 horsepower with responsive handling that feels peppy and eager through curves, while the heavily bolstered Alcantara seats provide surprising comfort despite the compact rear seat. The major drawback is reliability—DeMuro expresses concern about long-term ownership of this 30+ year old Italian car, highlighting quirks like a tachometer that reads 500 RPM even when the engine is off. This is a car for enthusiasts who prioritize driving dynamics, period-correct racing heritage, and bold styling over practical ownership and dependability.
