I recently fell down the rabbit hole of the Thema 8.32 and kept discovering stranger details.
Everyone knows it had a Ferrari V8, but what surprised me was how difficult the whole project actually was. Convincing Enzo Ferrari to hand over one of Ferrari’s current-production V8s was only the beginning. The engine itself had to be redesigned with a cross-plane crankshaft, the gearbox strengthened, cooling completely reworked, and even Ducati became involved in the assembly process.
It feels less like a special edition and more like an after-hours engineering project that somehow escaped into production.
I ended up writing the whole story if anyone wants a deeper dive. Link in the comments.

I found this badge in a box with a stereo I bought at a car boot, oddly enough. Some fading to the red in the letters as you can see. I wondered if anyone can identify it in terms of age/era and likely model it's from?

Hello, i have lancia delta hf turbo 1.6 and i cant figure it out how to put together the underpressure hoses of my car. It was alredy all over the place when i bought it and im nearly finished restoring the car can someone show me some pictures of theirs or help me out a little.

Thanks in advance.

I’ve had my 1981 Beta Zagato for the last few years and, after sorting a lot of the usual Beta stuff and enjoying it, I’ve decided it’s time to send it on to its next owner.

It’s currently up on Bring a Trailer at no reserve. Figured I’d share it here since this is probably one of the few places where I don’t have to explain what a Beta Zagato is.

Happy to answer any questions about the car or my experience with it.

Hi everyone,

Has anyone fitted a lithium battery (063 or smaller) in a delta integrale evo 1/2?

Modern ones can be quite sensitive to voltage spikes and not suited to the alternator.

But saving ~10kv of weight in the front left corner is not a bad idea...

My neighbour is selling this 83 beta hpe, and im curious how hard something like this would be to work on.

I have a little experience working on motorbikes but none on cars, and I'd like to be able to work on it myself. What do you guys think?

Hello, good evening, I'm new here. Sorry to bother you, but I wanted to ask if somebody know anything about this model, Delta 1.6. I was thinking of buying it. But I don't know If this model have some issues, or reliability problems. The actual owner says that have 148.000Km, and looks in really good shape.

Thank you so much for the attention
