The Lancia Ypsilon Rally4 HF with 212 CV makes its debut at the Balocco test track

Lancia, one of the most iconic names in motorsport that has been absent for several years, has taken a firm step towards its return to competition with the Ypsilon Rally4 HF, a car designed specifically to dominate the world of rallying. On a special day at the Balocco Test Track, the CEO of Stellantis, Carlos Tavares, got behind the wheel of the new model to test the capabilities of the new Ypsilon Rally4 HF.

With its 1.2-litre turbocharged engine producing 212 CV, the Ypsilon Rally4 HF is positioned as an ideal choice for young drivers looking to make their way into the world of rallying. Equipped with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual gearbox, the car offers a perfect balance between agility and performance, thanks also to its limited-slip differential.

The CEO of Lancia, Luca Napolitano, highlighted the importance of this moment: “Seeing Carlos Tavares drive the Ypsilon Rally4 HF was a milestone for us. This car reflects our passion for competition and marks the start of an exciting journey for Lancia in the Rally4 category”.
