Kimera presents the EVO38 as heir to EVO37inspired by Lancia Rally 037 from 1982. The EVO38 isn't really a car restomodbut rather an extreme of the philosophy that combines track performance and road versatility, with limited production only 38 specimens.
The Kimera EVO38, 4,055 mm long, 1,905 mm wide and 1,200 mm high, with a wheelbase of 2,520 mm, has an aerodynamic penetration coefficient of 0.50.
Inspired by Lancia SE038 “Mazinger”famous for its distinctive design and engine covers, the EVO38 takes up and takes the style to the extreme of the progenitor. The front boasts more generous air intakes, new headlights and a square grille with a red profile. The most obvious element is the enormous one “mouth” on the hood.
On the side, there are air intakes for cooling the brakes, while on the rear the speaker has been expanded. Ventilated brakes have four-piston calipers and 365 mm discs. The front tires are 245/35 on 18″ rims, the rear ones 295/30 on 19″ rims.
Motor
The Kimera EVO38 retains the longitudinal central engine, a four-cylinder in-line 2,150 cm3 with turbo and supercharger, delivering now 600 HP of power and 550 Nm of maximum torque, compared to the previous 505 HP. Numerous changes improve the mechanics, including a larger turbine size and the addition of a pop-off valve to reduce turbo lag.
The distribution system has been updated to widen the red zone of the tachometer. The gearbox remains six-speed manualbut with a shorter ratio than the EVO37, while a electro-actuated sequential gearbox with front clutches.
Structure and mechanics
The Kimera EVO38 introduces the four-wheel drivemanaged by a sophisticated system that allows the driver to adjust the distribution of traction between the front and rear axles, and to block the differentials at will. This configuration also allows you to transform the car into a rear-wheel Drive. Through steering wheel controls, it is possible to adjust the suspensions with motorized shock absorbers and a lift system to adapt to different driving conditions.
The rear maintains a central shock absorber with double spring side, while at the front there is a modern layout with shock absorbers push road. Despite the addition of all-wheel drive, Kimera Automobili's goal is to keep the weight around 1,100 kgcompensating for the increase in mass with the extensive use of fiber carbon and titanium to lighten the chassis, mechanics, systems and bodywork.
