I'd like an HF Integrale myself. One was parked at work today, LHD, private plate. Minter it was, red.
Was never too sure how / why the elephant logo on the front grille came into it though!!
Walking through the marina onto the top road was in a small window garage stood at back / euro ticket was on bonnet , I laughed myself as it was sitting next to a veyron & reventon / maybe it was for the privilege ( who knows ) I had a bottle of estrella in 1 hand & an *** in the other

The HF Symbol of Lancia Competition Cars
The HF symbol, the contraction of High Fidelity, owes its origin to the Lancia Hi. Fi. Club, which draws its members from loyal Lancia clients according to strict rules of elegibility which govern membership. The Club was founded in 1960 and the HF was taken as its logo.
The transposition of the Initials H and F on certain sports cars followed in 1961, when customers started to race Flaminia Pinina Farina in Grand Turismo events.
The "consecration" came with the launch of the legendary Fulvia coupe, and it became the official logo of the Company's sports cars, starting with the 1966 Fulvia HF coupe which remained almost unbeatable on the world rallies, until the mythical Stratos appeared on the scene to dominate rallying from 1974 - 1978.
In the mean time the HF Racing Team had been founded in 1963, initially as a simple association of amateur drivers unofficially backed by Lancia, but becoming the official sporting branch of the Company in 1965.
The HF symbol was adopted again in 1983 for the Delta turbo and thereafter on the Delta 4WD and the Integrale. With the introduction of the Evolution model of the Integrale, the letters were combined with the galloping red elephant. The elephants had been on the original badges for the Fulvia HF and the Stratos, at that time there were four elephants displayed.
There are contrasting stories and legends regarding the origin of this elephant, including the simple "the elephant never forgets". We do know that in 1953 the then Managing Director of Lancia, Gianni Lancia, chose it as a good luck token for the Company's first racing appearances. The symbol of the galloping elephant apparently originates in Eastern mythology as an auspicious emblem or symbol of victory, providing the trunk is stretched forward. This is how the elephant chosen by Gianni Lancia was drawn, first in light blue and later as now in bright red.

Thanks joz, nice one. A very interesting read
The S4 was ALWAYS my fave Gp.B car! It was a techno. tour de force what with its supercharger and turbocharger. It just looks awesome. Form following function and all that.
There's something about Lancias that simply get under my skin (and no, its not the rust!
).
Anyone know what power the roadgoing homologation version left the factory with?

From memory, all of the 200 homologation cars were 400/450 bhp but they also did clubman spec of about 250bhp which was for Group A, or N. After the finish of Group B, I'm sure cars were detuned.
Of course I could be making all this up, it was a long time ago...
