  • Maturo Reveals Third Stradale Commission

    Maturo Reveals Third Stradale Commission

    Maturo and their business remastering the Lancia Delta Integrale continues to bear fruit, now for the third time with this car built consistent with the firm’s Stradale specification.

    The latest build benefits from more than 2,000 hours of workmanship by the talented staff at Maturo. This particular car is fitted with the WRC Group A Abarth package including rally brakes, uprights, driveshafts and more.

    Weight is further reduced with this car now benefitting from a fully carbon fiber body. Other upgrades include adjustable suspension, upgraded audio system and of course a tailored interior and exterior.

    Check out more on this car on Maturo’s Facebook Page, including photography by Noortje Blokland Photography.

  • Maturo Rolls Out “Japan Commission” Classic Specification Lancia Delta Integrale Remaster

    Maturo Rolls Out “Japan Commission” Classic Specification Lancia Delta Integrale Remaster

    The latest Lancia Delta Integrale remaster to roll out of Maturo is known as the Japan Commission. This striking example, an Evo 2 finished in Blu Lord, sets off the imagination of what can be had from the firm.

    Sent to Maturo in a container without a specific plan, the owner simply wanted the car to be “done at Maturo”. After some discussions, the plan was for a Maturo Classic ultimo specification with virtually all of Maturo’s redevelopments and upgrades.

    Upgrades included a modern and upgraded ECU paired with new engine internals that are all good for 275 hp. Also installed were suspension with adjustable ride height and Maturo’s own braking system.

    Blu Lord, in case you’re curious, is a non-metallic dark blue. It pairs well with the upgraded specification of the car, particularly the handsome and fully reupholstered tan interior.

    The Japan Commission was shared on Maturo’s Facebook Page HERE. Also check out more on the firm on their main website maturocars.com.

  • Tailored Key Manufacturer Formawerx with Ultimate Delta Integrale Blade for Maturo

    Tailored Key Manufacturer Formawerx with Ultimate Delta Integrale Blade for Maturo

    What’s an excellent way to top off a tailored suit? The best accessories like a fine time piece of course. It seems natural then that topping off a tailored automobile would be a fine accessory like a jeweler-grade high design key. Enter Formawerx.

    This isn’t our first time covering Formawerx, and they remain a bit of a fetish in these pages. Their craftsmanship is always top notch, and their attention to detail is remarkable. In other words, it’s often worth remarking on new creations of theirs. In this case, it’s a key designed for the Lancia Delta Integrale Evo 2.

    As Formawerx tells it on social media, this particular key was a commission for Maturo, a remasterer of the Lancia Delta Integrale. Expect more on Maturo soon, but for now enjoy the detail work of the key they’ve created with Formawerx, a derivation of Formawerx’s own Legends Delta key piece.

    Why we love it:

    The Delta Integrale holds a special place in the hearts of auto enthusiasts as a rally homologation special. By mainstream measure, a 5-door hatchback is not the expected stuff of legends, but consider the hardware and engineering that goes into making such an economy car into a rally legend with six-consecutive WRC championships from 1987-1992 and the logic begins to make sense. Also… box flares.

    Seriously though, despite a less-than-optimum driving and steering wheel position, the Lancia Delta Integrale has built a cult-like following for these rally-bred reasons. Top of the heap is the Delta Integrale Evoluzione II. Now throw in limited edition with series production of just 365 and the collectibility factor grows even more.

    Over its time in production, Lancia built several special edition models – Martini 6, Verde York, Blu Lagos, Giallo Ginestra and, finally, the Bianco Perlato you see here. Painted Bianco Perla (pearl white) over dark blue leather, it is a color combination dripping in 1990s fashion.
