The concept car itself took its inspiration from the concept embodied in the Lancia Beta HPE during the second half of the Seventies to offer an up-to-date take on the idea of a sporty yet practical saloon. The production version will keep the concept&#8217;s dimensions. At 4500 mm long and with a 2700 mm wheelbase the future Delta will be the biggest car on its segment.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.thesocialmedia.com\/petrol-head\/files\/2012\/07\/lancia_delta_hpe_concept_side.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image-full\" alt=\"Lancia_delta_hpe_concept_side\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.thesocialmedia.com\/petrol-head\/files\/2012\/07\/lancia_delta_hpe_concept_side.jpg\"  style=\"float: left;margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px\" \/><\/a><br \/> The company has hesitated on the name between Delta and Beta for a long time, but a recent newsletter sent by Lancia France to potential customers confirmed that the company chose Delta. Sharing the platform with the current Fiat Bravo and future Alfa Romeo 149, the Dalta will also share powertrains with power ranging from 118bhp to 200bhp.<\/p>\n<p>The compact will be quite conservative but will come equipped with a unique roof whose details remain unknown and will feature a dual colour pain scheme. The car will be officially unveiled at Geneva.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The eagerly-awaited Lancia Delta will hit the showrooms in June 2008 and will be Fiat&#8217;s serious attempt to spearhead a revival of the Italian brand.
