SHERIDAN, WYOMING – August 4, 2025 – Lancia is making waves once again—and this time, it’s with a red elephant charging full speed into the electric future. At the legendary Balocco Proving Ground in Italy, the brand officially unveiled two dynamic additions to its portfolio: the all-electric 280-hp Lancia Ypsilon HF and the stylishly sporty Ypsilon HF Line. Both models mark a bold new chapter in Lancia’s long legacy of performance, design, and emotional driving experiences.
From Rally to Road: A Legend Reimagined
The Ypsilon HF isn’t just another sporty EV—it’s a revival of Lancia’s soul. With a 280-horsepower electric motor, 345 Nm of torque, and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.6 seconds, it channels the spirit of rally legends like the Delta Integrale, but wrapped in a sleek, modern design. The lowered suspension, widened wheel track, and signature circular taillights inspired by the iconic Stratos bring motorsport DNA to city streets.
And this isn’t just about raw numbers. The driving experience is finely tuned for thrill-seekers—thanks to a Torsen limited-slip differential, Alcon racing brakes, and a refined chassis that offers both precision and comfort. It’s fast, yes. But more importantly, it feels alive.
Why This Matters in Daily Life
The new Ypsilon HF proves that electric cars can be fun without sacrificing practicality. You get:
- Up to 370 km of range (WLTP)
- Rapid charging: 100 km in just 10 minutes
- Level-2 autonomous driving for relaxed commutes
- Wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and ambient interior lighting
In other words, it’s a daily driver with a weekend heart.
Ypsilon HF Line: Everyday Performance, Iconic Looks
Not everyone needs 280 hp. That’s where the Ypsilon HF Line steps in. With its 110-hp mild-hybrid engine, it reaches 100 km/h in 9.3 seconds—more than enough for agile city sprints and highway overtakes. Visually, it borrows heavily from its big brother: the signature HF bumpers, Red Elephant badge, and motorsport-inspired “cannelloni” sport seats set it apart from every other compact car in its class.
What Makes It Special
- Unique interior styling in electric blue and orange
- 48V hybrid technology for efficient urban mobility
- Level-2 driver assistance and keyless entry
- Dual 10.25” screens with sport-themed S.A.L.A. interface
It’s the kind of car that turns your daily drive into something to look forward to.

And for budding racers, the €38,900 Ypsilon HF Racing delivers track-ready performance at an accessible price point, complete with FIA-compliant safety features and raw mechanical charm.
Elegance on the Road—and the Wrist
Performance isn’t limited to the pavement. In collaboration with Eberhard & Co., Lancia is launching a limited-edition watch, echoing the design and passion of the HF line. Available later this year, it’s a wearable celebration of Italian craftsmanship and automotive art.
A Symbol Reborn
At the heart of this renaissance lies the Red Elephant—once chosen as a lucky charm by Gianni Lancia, now redesigned for a new generation. It’s bold, eccentric, and unstoppable—just like the vehicles it represents.
Whether you're chasing rally dreams or just want your daily commute to feel like a victory lap, Lancia’s new HF offerings are more than just cars. They’re statements of style, speed, and Italian soul.
