GCK revisits the past with the Delta Evo-E

When we talk about the Lancia Delta Evo we immediately think of the 1980s and its prowess in the world rally championship. Having become a historic piece of the automobile, it is the target of numerous restorers such as Guerlain Chicherit and his company GCK.

In May 2020, Green Corp Konnection announced the launch of the e-restomod project and the GCK Exclusiv-e brand with the ambition of “ magnifying iconic vehicles by integrating electrification ". A year later, the first creation of GCK Exclusiv-e finally saw the light of day. This is the Lancia Delta Integrale.

Renamed Delta Evo-E, the icon of rally of the 1980s and 1990s has been completely revised. Stripped bare, the car was reinforced, its parts refurbished and its interior modernized. with state-of-the-art multimedia equipment ».

Concerning the mechanics, GCK has logically electrified the powertrain while keeping “the original all-wheel drive and power consistent with the base model”.

Although electric, the Lancia Delta Evo-E retains a manual gearbox which “offers rare and exceptional driving sensations for an electric vehicle” according to its creator.

Body side, the Delta ecological version keeps its classic features with its side air intakes and on the hood and its rear spoiler.

Each model is approved in France and available in limited edition. 36 Lancia Delta Evo-e and 11 Evo-e Rallye will see the light of day in the future, all prepared by GCK Exclusiv-e.

« We chose the Lancia Delta Integrale to launch this project because this vehicle made us all dream, specifies Guerlain Chicherit, president of GCK. It is the rally car par excellence, undoubtedly the most incredible of its time, and which remains very popular with rally enthusiasts, of which I am still one. ».

Vice-world rally champion in 1990 with this same car, Didier Auriol is the ambassador of this GCK and Guerlain Chicherit project.
