Latest Maturo Delta Integrale a Purple over Green Classic Stradale Specification

At Tailored Driver, a remaster has a specific meaning. It’s not restoration for preservation’s sake, nor is it customization for modification’s sake. A remaster is a classic car reimagined through a specialist’s tailored yet consistent formula—mechanically strengthened, dynamically sharpened, and visually re-written with a level of specificity the original manufacturer never had the freedom to pursue. Maturo’s Lancia Delta HF Integrale fits that definition, and this latest example is highly unique.

Maturo refers to the car’s spec as a Maturo Classic with the Stradale exterior package, which basically translates to form vividly in line with the Evo variants of the original, while “Stradale” makes it clearly aligned to road use versus the more down and dirty rally surfaces Delta Integrales are also known for.

This car is finished in metallic purple over a fully custom green leather and Alcantara interior. That makes for a specification that immediately signals this is not a factory built car – not even an über-rare special, but a reinterpretation—one that understands the Integrale’s mythology and aims to remaster it.

A purple Lancia—but not that purple

It’s worth being precise here. Purple was never a standard production colour on the Delta HF Integrale, regardless of year or evolution. That fact alone makes this car notable. However, the purple used here is not a direct echo of the known 1994 Maggiora-built Integrale “Viola” one-off, which wore a lighter, more saturated, almost jewel-like violet tone.

By contrast, Maturo’s metallic purple appears darker, and slightly more restrained, with less saturation based on what we can see in photos of each car. Where Viola appears more flamboyant and celebratory—very much a product of mid-1990s Italian tastes—Maturo’s purple feels more modern and more understated… maybe more German more conservative in its flamboyance, like a mid-1990s Volkswagen Corrado VR6. The metallic content plays elegantly on the Integrale’s squared-off arches and upright glasshouse to catch light in a way the more solid colors simply can’t accomplish.

As with many remasters, Maturo has not published a formal colour name or paint code. That omission suggests the finish is preferred mysterious and maybe custom-mixed, possibly tuned through flake size, groundcoat tone, and clear depth rather than lifted from any legacy palette.

Green inside: rare, but rooted in reality

If the exterior challenges expectations, the interior quietly reinforces the Delta Integrale’s factory specifications. While purple never really appeared on Integrale order sheets, green interior trim did exist in-period, particularly in Alcantara, making it was one of those period details that feels surprising today despite being historically plausible. Perhaps some Lancia strategist had Alitalia-themed special editions dancing in their heads.

Maturo expands on that original green interior specification with a fully bespoke green leather and Alcantara interior, elevating what might once have been an eccentric factory option into something more deliberate. This isn’t about replicating a 1990s Lancia cabin stitch-for-stitch; but rather using colour, texture, and material quality to deliver a cabin that feels contemporary while remaining consistent with the Integrale’s original character.

The green also does important visual work. Against the darker metallic purple exterior, it creates a complementary contrast that feels tailored but not theatrical. It’s unexpected and whimsical without being cheesy or contrived.

The Stradale brief, mechanically applied

As with every Maturo remaster, the visual statement is backed by substance. The Stradale package is not an appearance kit; it’s a holistic re-engineering of the Integrale for modern road use:

• 300 hp / 400 Nm engine output
• Fully rebuilt powertrain
• Reinforced chassis
• Adjustable suspension
• Upgraded big-brake system
• Fully custom interior

These figures aren’t about chasing contemporary hot-hatch benchmarks. They’re about unchaining and enhancing the Integrale’s formula—torque-rich, confidence-inspiring, and usable—without the fragility or compromise that often comes with untouched originals.

A remaster that understands restraint

What makes this purple-over-green Integrale work is restraint applied in just right ways. The colorway is undeniably rare, but it’s executed with subtlety to let the car’s form and mechanical bonafides lead.

To our definition of the term, this is exactly what a “remaster” should be: a classic, respectfully deconstructed and reassembled with clarity of purpose, using modern capability to express ideas the original could only hint at.
