Video: Pure engine sounds – Lancia Delta Evoluzione

Raw, uncompromising, brutal, pure. These words and more spring to mind when asked to describe the era of rally from which cars such as the Lancia Delta Evoluziones were born.

This clip takes us back to the glory days of these terrifying machines, with a primary focus on the wail of their extensively developed, turbocharged engines. It’s fitting then that this video lacks any intrusive music or overambitious editing, because it could only have served to detract from the sheer intensity of watching some of the greatest off-road racing machines of our time tear-flat out through a selection of their natural habitats.

This video runs for a full fifteen minutes – because a lifetime spent listening to the sounds of classic rally still wouldn’t be long enough.
