The Lancia 037 is one of the greatest rally cars of all time. It famously beat the Audi Quattro to become the last two-wheel drive car to win a World Rally Championship. Kimera Automobili is committed to making it even greater. In 2021 the Italian company introduced a modern tribute dubbed the EVO37, and followed that up in 2024 with the EVO38, inspired by the 037’s never-produced successor. But it’s not stopping there.
The Kimera K-39 is a ground-up hypercar that just happens to look like an 037. Unveiled Friday at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, it’s powered by a twin-turbo V8 from Koenigsegg. Some changes were made to the turbos compared to the Swedish automaker’s own hypercars, but this engine still makes 1,000 horsepower at 7,350 rpm and 885 pound-feet of torque at 5,500 rpm. It can also rev to 8,250 rpm.
