Fun fact: Delta integrale won on tracks too, only it did as Alfa Romeo. The 155 V6 Ti in DTM used the Integrale 4wd base. And the Alfa team was mostly built on former Lancia rally team.
not exactly but clos: it was the 155 GTA who used the same engine and "frame" from the Integrale, and won (if i recall correctly) the 1992 italian touring championship. The 155 v6 TI has a tubolar trellis frame, different engine placing etc, it was a brand new prototype
@@atomsmasher9 you're right, the GTA was much closer to integrale, the V6 Ti had a new chassis (DTM had different rules), but the Lancia 4wd transmission was the base for the 155 Q4, and from that model to the GTA and V6 TI.

Lancia Delta Integrale 16V > E30 M3. Can't believe even the initial 16V version beats the M3 on what should be BMW's back garden. It just goes to show that the Lancia Delta is one of the best cars ever produced, if not THE BEST!
I agree with your last sentence, because the best car ever produced is the BMW M3 E30 ;) I like both of them: Lancia Delta is fantastic, but I prefer the M3. Despite my preference, I think that the Delta is a mile stone in this field (as the M3 E30).
Corran Helme The M3 gets beaten because it had over 170.000 miles on it. Even with an engine rebuild it wont get the full power it once had and everyone who says that it doesnt affect the engine doesnt understand that the s14 wasnt built to last it was buit to be sporty. I think the M3 would have won if it wasnt a milegrave but well never know because of the incompetence of fifth gear. It isnt hard to find a good M3 with a low mileage but if you just dont care about the shit youre sending out... On a rally course or on a wet day every E30 wil be beaten but on a track in FAIR conditions? I dont think so.
Both cars are absolutely amazing, i love them both. The difference is that BMW still builts an M3 while Lancia stopped building such great cars. They really should make a new integrale to compete with Evo Lancer and Subaru STI.
The e30 M3 is timeless. It is already a classic, it is already known as one of the best automobiles ever made. Love that Lancia though, but given the choice, I would have to go M3. Both are super special and fantastic though
fikes73 The Integrale was a 'classic' from birth. Fiorio knew he had a winner on his hands with the Delta HF 4x4, but then he uprated it into the Integrale, and the car was magnificent from the word go.
Actually I prefer the integrale it is amazing round corners, sure it not as exciting in a straight line because, aerodinamically speaking, it is a box but on a nice curvy mountain road it is just fabulous. And about the looks, a fire red Delta, few cars can beat that for me.
'H' reg means 'H' registration which refers to the year a car was first matriculated / registered in the United Kongdom. A H registration would appear on a number plate of a UK car registered sometime between 1st August 1990 and 31st July 1991.
y dont you guys ever race the golf rally mk2 vs all this im sur we would all love to see a icon like a rally golf mk2 rip arround the trac and show what its made of
not really, they should both be on the standard factory rubber that they wore when they were built (obviously new ones though) then it would be a fair test
Short but absolutely nice comparison. It would be much better to compare on more chrono rounds, not just once. I'd like to see a match between Lancia DELTA HF Integrale vs Lancia STRATOS. Thumb up if you agree the idea.
@ZANENKAAS yeah he drifts some but dont say he can´t drive. if you dident allready know, he´s an old pro driver.. and yes i know drifting aint the way to drive if you want a quick lap.
Ever driven a Delta Integrale? It's as counter-intuitive as it gets in that car. If you don't know how it behaves on the limit - you will get off the track. Despite the delta's awd, it does understeer. When it does, to get out you just have to floor it. May sound strange - but is a lot stranger to actually do...
@Mr00007 - sorry, simply not true. All race-oriented AWD systems distribute more power to the rear, resulting in oversteer, not understeer. Most modern/current dynamically adjust the power ratio, and oversteer is always preferred in race-environments, certainly when you're talking about rally, where cars go sideways in virtually any corner. In this case - the Integrale certainly is a strange beast. Also 'increasing' throttle isn't enough in the Integrale, floor it or lose it.
@Gavin756 Assuming my e30 325i is similar in handling with my autocross tires on stock suspension, yes it wants to over-steer, but good throttle control can keep it to a minimum. Mild, smooth acceleration seems to keep enough weight shifted to the rear during a corner to keep things mostly planted. Mostly. I would assume the M3 with less body roll would be more controllable which makes me think he might have been showboating a bit in this video. It is show biz after all.
Great vid but pity they didn't get an M3 of similar vintage as the Integrale. By the end of the 80s the 2.3L e30 M3 had picked up a good 20 bhp over this 1987 model. Also after 177,000 miles the M3 engine must be a little tired - though we are not told the Integrale's mileage its a younger car so probably less. A 2.5 evo e30 M3 (upwards of 230 bhp)would have dispatched the Integrale and if memory serves they were available by 'H' reg. In the wet though, its an Integrale all the way.
Yeah. Loads of understeer. It must have been quite a pain to drive. The BMW looked very neutral on turn in and mid corner and with quite some exit oversteer. Which is definitely the more fun driving characteristics.
@bavarac335i Nope. There was an Integrale 8v, then an Integrale 16v, after that was the Integrale 16v Evo, then the Integrale 16v Evo II. It's true, then, that all Evos are 16v but not all 16v Integrales are Evos.
You're right :) it's good for a RWD, but for an AWD it should be over 300hp aaaand of course a good differentials that won't mess up anything using understeer ;)
heh several times - actually meaning 6 years back to back WRC wins for integrale and Lancia again 5 more trumping Audi with delta 037 RWD earlier race car beating Quatro 4x4 for manufactures. If only for group B Delta S4 and untested Super sport classes a practically complete carbon fibre / kevlar Lancia Delta ECV cancelled then before invention of Group A road car and HF integrale and Evoluzione. 6xWRC. Add to that Wins after works rally ended circa 1993 in Touring car for Alfa 155 that car basically is a Lancia Delta with an Alfa body on it. Team was even named Alfa / Lancia for a while XD.
bmgm3 Yeah, with the grip this car provides, combined with a slight power deficiency, it causes understeer on the track. This tendency however is fantastic on any other surface including wet tarmac. The rear comes out and it becomes really gooseable without excessive sliding.
Guys... the E30 M3 won a total of 18 titles across 10 different touring car championships worldwide. It won the 24hrs of Nurburgring 5 times, and the Spa 24hrs 4 times. It is easily just as legendary as the Integrale. If Tiff had a cleaner run for this lap he could've pipped the Delta. The point being is both are brilliant, capable, legendary cars with comparable performance.
+Udine Servi BMW disguised under mini brand has been winning dakars (their bikes also but i think thats not important now), sooooooooo yeah, there you go
@somthingugly it is an evo because the first edition lancia delta hf integrale was 2.0 8V and not 16V the first 16V is an evo and so ohn... thats whay this anit fair because bmw M3 e30 also had EVO 1 and EVO 2(sport evo 2 238 bhp )
Ya, I guess you're right. It doesn't really have the right shape. But the Lancia could, if you jack up the clearance and add some floodlight in the front. Could try, im just sayin.
It did. I had one and was a club member when this video was made. That car had P6000 tyres on, which despite being Italian were absolute crap. Decent boots would have made the handling more neutral and taken seconds off the time, That said in the dry they would still power understeer on the faster corners easy enough to kill with a slight lift. In the slower stuff the back end would come out so you could just keep it planted.
So they a car which won rallies against a car that's strictly for tarmac on tarmac - and the rally car wins? Not too surprised actually. Toivenen showed off the same thing when he went around the F1 circuit in Portugal with the Lancia Delta S4. If the laptime of the car would have counted for qualification in the F1 race a few weeks later, he would have been 6th on the starting-grid. That car would go from 0->100km/h (62mph) in just 2.3 seconds... on gravel. Pretty crazy stuff :D
crazy body roll!! with todays standard in anti roll chassis both but probably more the delta, would be much faster. Interesting how stiff todays cars are from chassis to suspension.
why would you say this? what other vehicles of their generation would you compare that are better? certainly the M3 was expensive but it also proved to be the most successful touring car in motorsport history.
I find the Lancia a lot of more stable coming out the corners, but its to slow in the turn when going in. The E30's weakness is coming out the turn, wobbling a little making it unstable losing power as it comes out the turn, but the E30's strength is while entering the turn and in the turn. Both are great. Can't be one sided, I'm going for the E30 though.
Chalk it up to poor driving. The E30 was sideways through most of the course, especially on corner exits. Drive the car properly Tiff, like we all know you can!
well koffiezet maybe and maybe not!check Arri Vatanen in the peugeot on pikes peak gravel (on youtube)cronic understear- only the customary unsettling reverse flick will throw it into over steer- Metro 6R4's cronic understear on gravel just the same- in fact anytime a rally driver driving the older 4WD cars gets a corner wrong and doesnt unsetle the car before the corner it will understear
BMW's are extremely well balanced and anyone with a feel for cars can understand that the excellent weight distribution and rear wheel drive combination allows displays of remarkable driving. Less fail please. Anyway... which would you rather been seen in? Probably why Lancia went bust in the end.
Exactly, I support your argument at 100%, but I look at the matter in a position non-economic but mechanical, of design. Maybe I'm studying engineering. In any case , if I would choose between them, I take Lancia. Sorry for my imperfect English, though it may not look it, is very poor.
@drbl52 the lancia was banned cos 2a driver was cooked in a fire at the start of a race thats y it wasnt round as long and i hav an intergrale!!! maybe thats why i like them so much
is only bmw fans butthurt about this? anyways like someone said in the comments.. rally car vs ''touring car'' so lancia was a bit in disadvantage cuz it was circuit not a dirt ground sprint, both of cars were handled no how they suposed to do
Sure I do know that, the S4 was a space-frame death-trap with 550(+)bhp which would have annihilated the M3 and then killed it's own pilot, but the S4 was actually built before this-one, which is the 16v. To be fair, they should have compared the E30 with the HF Turbo or the 8V - the 16V was designed/built 2 years after the M3 E30 hit the roads first...
Idk, it's really up to the owner. If you take care of these classic cars the way that they should be taken care of, age won't be a problem. You just have to love them, cherish them, and keep them in the garage (away from the weather ;D), and they will run like clock work.
The E30 M3 won more than its its share of tarmac rallies. As Casey Lockwood says, Tiff is too sideways at the corner exits - excusable only on an unfamiliar course. Fun though!
@Yuk91 diciamo che all'epoca erano paragonabili...piu' o meno hanno la stessa cavalleria,solo differente trazione..a guardare il test il pilota con l'm3 non fa una curva pulita,derapa sempre,il che significa perdita di tempo...se guidasse "bene"non so come andrebbe a finire ...
should have put an 190e cosworth against an m3 the m3 wasn't as dominant as everyone remembers, both cosworths could cut it too, the 190e won the dtm too, the rs500 won every btcc race in more than 3 and a half years, and the ordinary sierra cosworth took the last rwd wrc victory, the m3 sport evo should have been used, the integrale evo 1 (evo 2 was just a more user friendly version not the hardcore homologation car), Rs500 cosworth, 190e cosworth evo 2, have a proper group a shoot out.
This is unfair because the Delta was used for dirt roads not a track yet the e30 was designed for the track. Should have tested both at track and dirt road.
I vostri commenti sono sbagliati da tutti i punti di vista perché mentre la M3 stradale era quasi identica a quella da pista, in particolare nei mondiali turismo, la Delta integrale da strada non aveva niente a che spartire con quella che vinceva nei rally. Per questo sono imparagonabili. La HF integrale era solo un operazione commerciale, la squadra corse lancia prendeva solo il telaio. La M3 invece era utilizzata in gara quasi cosi com'era per questo era una macchina eccezionale!!

Yes both are amazing beast's BUT owning a E30 M3 myself, BOY what a car it is 😀
Evil Chelsea Smile you can be happy... after all you have the 2nd most fun car in the world boy!!!
@SinergyCOB I hear you, man. Let's buy them in common so i can have the delta in the summer and the M3 in the (slightly hot sicilian) winter!
is only bmw fans butthurt about this? anyways like someone said in the comments.. rally car vs ''touring car'' so lancia was a bit in disadvantage cuz it was circuit not a dirt ground sprint, both of cars were handled no how they suposed to do
I ain't surprised too. But you know that the S4 and this have nothing in common but the name and style, don't you?
yup it is. so is the delta
Sure I do know that, the S4 was a space-frame death-trap with 550(+)bhp which would have annihilated the M3 and then killed it's own pilot, but the S4 was actually built before this-one, which is the 16v.
To be fair, they should have compared the E30 with the HF Turbo or the 8V - the 16V was designed/built 2 years after the M3 E30 hit the roads first...
wow the m3 seems really easy to drift. it looks well mannered. great cars.
Idk, it's really up to the owner. If you take care of these classic cars the way that they should be taken care of, age won't be a problem. You just have to love them, cherish them, and keep them in the garage (away from the weather ;D), and they will run like clock work.
Bang on..... I have cherished my delta evo for 16 years and she continues to perform flawlessly.
The E30 M3 won more than its its share of tarmac rallies. As Casey Lockwood says, Tiff is too sideways at the corner exits - excusable only on an unfamiliar course. Fun though!
Crazy to think that M3 wasn't even 20 yrs old when this was made. Damn cars age...
An E30 M3 with 170k miles back in 2005 was probably a $7k car. Today in 2020, that’d probably be worth $50k.
Both used in rally alot.Not just the Lancia
@Yuk91 diciamo che all'epoca erano paragonabili...piu' o meno hanno la stessa cavalleria,solo differente trazione..a guardare il test il pilota con l'm3 non fa una curva pulita,derapa sempre,il che significa perdita di tempo...se guidasse "bene"non so come andrebbe a finire ...
What a good driver! yes...pushing the limits
Chose a 944 turbo S over the M3 in 1988.. Wise decision.
Unless resale is a factor.
should have put an 190e cosworth against an m3
the m3 wasn't as dominant as everyone remembers, both cosworths could cut it too, the 190e won the dtm too, the rs500 won every btcc race in more than 3 and a half years, and the ordinary sierra cosworth took the last rwd wrc victory, the m3 sport evo should have been used, the integrale evo 1 (evo 2 was just a more user friendly version not the hardcore homologation car), Rs500 cosworth, 190e cosworth evo 2, have a proper group a shoot out.
the last RWD champions is from the lancia 037 angaist audi quattro AWD what are you talking ?
This is unfair because the Delta was used for dirt roads not a track yet the e30 was designed for the track. Should have tested both at track and dirt road.
Even with all that body roll, understeer and turbo lag, as well as it not being designed for fast circuit racing. the lancia still won, wow
The Integrale wasn't in tarmac set-up. Do that, put it on slicks, and 'good-bye' Bee-Em...
lancia for-ever!!!
I vostri commenti sono sbagliati da tutti i punti di vista perché mentre la M3 stradale era quasi identica a quella da pista, in particolare nei mondiali turismo, la Delta integrale da strada non aveva niente a che spartire con quella che vinceva nei rally. Per questo sono imparagonabili.
La HF integrale era solo un operazione commerciale, la squadra corse lancia prendeva solo il telaio.
La M3 invece era utilizzata in gara quasi cosi com'era per questo era una macchina eccezionale!!
Given that the M3 is N/A and the Lancia was turbo , I think the BMW done a sterling job. They both cool cars but my heart will always go to the E30.
i did and had a lot of fun man miss it but happier with my mk1 gti lol
Back in the late '80s, the car to have was the Sierra Cosworth !!
Lewis72 Nahhhhh, it was my nickname... :-)
Only available as LHD and in limited production, so in the UK, there were not popular or as common as the full production RHD Sapphire Cosworth.
Lewis72 i prefer the merc 190 cosworth but i do really also like the sierra
+Lewis72 only the original 2 door from 1986.
Cossie was defenseless against Lotus Omega
