Preview (beginning of the article)

When an already successful and fast rally car is given a cure at Zagato, the result is guaranteed to be an extraordinary work of art. On the initiative of Dutch Lancia importer Paul Koot, two dozen Lancia Hyena based on the Delta HF Integrale were built. Fiat was the owner of Lancia at the time and did not want to supply Delta chassis to Zagato. So it had to buy finished Deltas, remove the bodywork and then build the Hyena aluminum skin. In an interview with the magazine "auto, motor und sport" in 1994, Gianni Zagato stated: "The worldwide approval of a Zagato special body costs just under one million US dollars. These costs can no longer be recouped with small-scale production." It is therefore obvious that the Hyena was not a commercially successful project.
