Lancia, the Italian automaker now under the Stellantis umbrella, has announced plans to bring back one of its most storied badges—HF Integrale—on new high-performance variants of its upcoming models. The move marks a bold step in the brand’s revival strategy as it pivots toward electrification.
“HF will become the defining feature of all the high-performance versions within the new Lancia lineup,” the company said in a press release tied to the launch of the Ypsilon Rally6 race car. “Today on the Ypsilon model and soon to appear in 2026 on the upcoming Gamma and Delta with the ‘HF Integrale’ label.”
The return of the HF Integrale name—synonymous with Lancia’s rally-winning legacy—will not follow the traditional recipe of internal combustion engines and all-wheel drive. Instead, the upcoming Delta HF Integrale is expected to be a fully electric vehicle. According to a report by Autocar, the new Delta will be based on Stellantis’ CMP platform, which also underpins models like the Vauxhall Mokka and Peugeot e-208 GTI.
While the CMP platform supports both combustion and electric drivetrains, only electric performance variants have been announced so far. If the Delta HF Integrale adopts a similar setup to the new Ypsilon HF, it would likely feature a single electric motor generating 280 horsepower and 245 pound-feet of torque.
The Gamma, another upcoming model from Lancia, has not yet been unveiled. The automaker confirmed it will be available in both hybrid and all-electric versions, with more details expected as its 2026 debut approaches. An HF Integrale variant of the Gamma has not yet been revealed.
Lancia’s move to reintroduce the HF Integrale name signals its intent to reclaim relevance in the performance car space, albeit through a modern, electrified approach. Once confined to a single aging model sold mostly in Italy, the brand is now positioning itself for a broader European revival under Stellantis leadership.
