The 2025 Lancia Ypsilon Rally4 HF is a customer motorsport-ready rally car that marks Lancia's dramatic return to competitive rallying after decades of absence. Based on the road-going Ypsilon, it features a turbocharged 1.2-liter three-cylinder engine producing 212 horsepower and 230 lb-ft of torque, driving the front wheels through a sequential five-speed dog-ring gearbox with paddle shifters. The full FIA Rally4-specification package includes a welded roll cage, hydraulic handbrake, Reiger adjustable coilover dampers, and OZ Racing 17-inch wheels with Pirelli rally tires. The interior is stripped to bare essentials with Sabelt racing seats, a six-point harness, and a digital co-driver display. Developed in partnership with rally specialists, the Ypsilon Rally4 HF enables privateers to compete in national and international rally championships, reviving the legendary HF badge that once adorned rally-winning Stratos, Delta, and 037 models.

The Lancia Ypsilon Rally4 HF is a genuinely exciting development -- Lancia's return to competitive rallying after decades of absence, and a car that evokes some of the most legendary competition machines in motorsport history. The 212 horsepower turbo three-cylinder driving through a proper sequential gearbox delivers serious performance in a lightweight, purpose-built chassis. The rally-specific suspension, roll cage, and stripped interior demonstrate authentic motorsport intent rather than marketing posturing. For customer rally teams, this provides a competitive, well-developed package at the entry level of the Rally4 category. The emotional significance of seeing the Lancia name on a rally car again cannot be overstated for enthusiasts. However, as a customer motorsport car, the Rally4 HF faces practical considerations: the $58,000 entry price is just the beginning of rally costs, parts availability outside Europe may be limited, and the FWD layout puts it at a disadvantage against AWD alternatives in some conditions. But as a statement of Lancia's competitive ambitions and heritage, the Rally4 HF is thrilling.
