GTPAAC: Week 14 - Lancia Delta HF Integrale

[Omnis]

Lancia Delta HF Integrale - this car was THE definition of 4wd. A true beast of its time. I personally love this car...i dont know why. it's just that cool.

Lancia dominated the World Rally Championship from 1987 to 1992, as its 4wd Group A rally cars won six consecutive titles and put other manufacturers to shame. More than a decade later, Integrales still claim cult status among dedicated owners who value the pure joy of driving.

Surprisingly, Lancia’s first 4wd road car was produced way back in 1982, when a prototype 4wd Delta Turbo was displayed at the Turin Motor Show. It was considered by many to be a rather unnecessary gimmick of a car, although everyone who drove the prototype raved about it. It wasn’t put into production for another four years, however, when the ultra-light and super-powerful Group B cars were banned from world rallying as a result of the many deaths they had caused. This opened the door for Lancia’s Group A Delta HF 4WD rally car and its homologation equivalent for the road.

The production version proved so popular that many more than the minimum of 5,000 were made and sold.

Soon the HF 4WD was upgraded to give increased power and better handling, plus the wider wheel arches of the Integrale. My Italian pocket dictionary defines Integrale as “complete” – but the evolution of the Integrale was far from complete, as successive years saw Lancia maintain its place at the top of the rallying tree with ever-improved incarnations of their world-beating car.

we are going to draw the street version of the car. do not make this a rally car. im looking foward to the final results.....they should be cool. our goal is to replicate the image that this car brought to automotive history. happy drawing.

preliminary math class sketch. its like a rally/touge scene, but it's kinda hard to see from the photo.

Actually that's not bad TVR & Ferrari Fan. 👍

Glad you like it.

 

[Riplox]

Ok. Here's me entry. I liked the square look and ran with it. I used pencil (regular graphite and prismacolor), pen/marker, and paint.

 

[Dark Skyline]

that is awesome Riplox. 👍

 

[Riplox]

Thanks for the compliment Skyline.

 

[Pebb]

Very nice Riplox.

 

[shima]

very nice, WELL finished. the lighting reproduction is excellent. i'll put some more soul into my entry, a departure from those bland grayscales i've been submitting before.

 

[Dark Skyline]

re started mine, put what i have so far in my old post, any suggestions?

 

[VIPFREAK]

Dark it's a lot better than your previous one. good job, my suggestion would be the winshield line and side window lines shouldn't be so straight although the way you have it makes it look like the top has been chopped. The rear wheel is down too far compared to the rest of the car and the front wheel. Besides that it's pretty much there. Keep at it. hope that helps. :tup:

 

[VIPFREAK]

Eh... new post.

"Deep Dish" rims and a "Widebody" kit anyone?

 

[Riplox]

The body itself looks great but the interior and the spokes need some work. Still, I like it better than mine.

 

[Omnis]

like i said before....very cool pic.

one thing bothers me now though.....you switched out those BEAUTIFUL recaro seats for some red bride/sparco junk? shame on you! lol.

(they arent really junk irl.....but whatever)

 

[VIPFREAK]

Thanks guys... Omnis, I just like red :tup:

 

[Pebb]

Very nice VipFREAK.

 

[Riplox]

When's the voting thread gonna be up? It should've been up yesterday.

 

[Omnis]

yeah, my fault. im sick, and i couldn't finish my final drawing in time. maybe when i do finish, i'll show you guys in this thread again.

poll goes up now.

 

[shima]

crap, i should have not procrastinated..

lets see what a good 2 hours can do for me..
[edit: 3:46 and now done with my HOPEFULLY-ACCEPTED-LATE-ENTRY; i will have to scan the drawing after sunrise, i can't be disturbing my neighbors this early w/the noise (2nd floor co-op). omni, hope you can do me this favor!]

ill reply here with the entry
