Lancia’s long-awaited revival took a bold leap forward at the Balocco Proving Ground, as the brand unveiled two high-performance models: the all-electric Ypsilon HF and the hybrid-powered Ypsilon HF Line.

Making their dynamic debut on the newly inaugurated “Lancia HF Track,” both variants mark a compelling chapter in the marque’s ongoing renaissance—a journey that will culminate with the Lancia Gamma in 2026, the brand’s 120th anniversary.

The Track and the Legacy

The new Balocco “Lancia HF Track”—with tight corners, low-grip surfaces, and technical turns—served as the perfect proving ground for over 100,000 km of development testing.

From 240 hp to 280 hp, the evolution of the Ypsilon HF owes much to the intensive collaboration with the Squadra Corse Lancia team.

Looking Ahead

First seen at the 1960 Geneva Motor Show and later immortalized by the HF Squadra Corse, the Red Elephant logo returns—reimagined with sleek lines, racing geometry, and bold color cues inspired by the 1966 Fulvia and 1990s Delta.

In short, Lancia has returned not just to roads, but to its roots—with electrified intensity, legendary styling, and a powerful nod to its rich motorsport legacy.
