There could not have been a better place than Monte Carlo for a tribute to the Lancia 037 by Kimera Automobili. Luca Betti’s creature, a wonderful restomod of the Lancia Beta Montecarlo model and dedicated to the famous rally icon, will take to the streets of the Principality on the occasion of the first stage of the 2022 World Rally. And it will not only be a way to pay tribute to a rally beast, but also to celebrate an important anniversary for an Italian company like Pirelli.
“After 40 years, the myth lives on on the same roads that made it legendary. It will be a celebration in the celebration. Kimera Automobili will kick off the celebrations for Pirelli’s 150th anniversary, opening the 90th edition of the Monte-Carlo Rally. On Thursday 20 January at 9.30, the EVO37 will take part in the Shakedown of the Monte Carlo Rally: at the wheel, a truly exceptional crew: Mario Isola, Pirelli’s Head of Car Racing and 2003 World Rally Champion Petter Solberg will drive Kimera Automobili’s two-wheel drive on the asphalt of the Principality, which brought the myth back to life. Subsequently, the EVO37 will be exhibited in the Casino square of the Principality of Monaco where, during the 3 days of the competition, he will greet the Monegasque public“, Kimera Automobili communicated with a very just national pride.
Color is an integral part of the recovery work of the Lancia Beta Montecarlo that form the Kimera EVO37. Otherwise destined to remain incomplete cars, the Betti brand applies painstaking work to recover the original soul of the cars. Certain colors are therefore preferred, as in the case of the pearl white color that pays homage to the limited series of the Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evoluzione. However, a very suggestive tribute to Pirelli was chosen for the Monte.
We recall that the idea behind Kimera is the recovery of “an icon of world motorsport“Which rediscovers its unmistakable nature and shape,”ennobled by the maximum possible technical and performance development, as if the car of the time was conceived today. The suggestion and emotional impact of an inspiration and origins rooted in the past rediscovered with profound respect“.
