The badge will first grace the back of a new hot Lancia Ypsilon, the marque’s small hatchback based on the same underpinnings as the current Peugeot e208. All-electric, the car will feature lowered suspension, a wider track and 240PS from its electric motor, for 0-62mph in 5.8 seconds. A proper little pocket rocket, then.
Even the standard Ypsilon has been getting some love lately thanks to its Stratos-inspired looks. The hot HF treatment should only serve to enhance that aesthetic, though painfully, there’s no confirmation of it reaching our shores just yet.
“I am delighted to unveil the new HF logo, which will make its debut on the New Lancia Ypsilon HF, before being used on the future high-performance versions of the brand,” said Luca Napolitano, Lancia brand CEO.
“After the presentation of the New Lancia Ypsilon, the first car of the brand new era, today we take another step ahead in the path to Renaissance, to emphasize the brand most brutal and radical soul and its commitment to focusing on performance models.”
