Lancia Delta. Ferrari 308.
Cars we admire.
A project we shape together.
Workshop visit · Specification · Guidance
TWO ICONS. THREE STARTING POINTS.
Which car
do you have in mind?
Rediscover your Delta’s character, explore a thoroughly reimagined version, or imagine a 308 shaped by its rally history. At Maturo, each programme answers a different desire.
LANCIA / DELTA CLASSIC
The original spirit.
A new standard.
For those who already love their Delta and want to enjoy it even more.
EnlargeThe shape and atmosphere remain those of the Integrale. Work focuses on what makes it drive: engine, gearbox, drivetrain, brakes and running gear, with inspection and reinforcement of vulnerable structural points.
Three levels of preparation tailor the mechanical character to your project.
- Basic
- 230 hp330 Nm
- Performante
- 290 hp400 Nm
- Performante Ultimo
- 340 hp450 Nm
The programme and customisation options
Rebuilt mechanical components, modernised engine management and wiring. Depending on the project, the Group N gearbox, brakes and suspension can receive further upgrades.
The upholstery can be restored or reimagined. I help you choose the work that suits your car and how you use it; the details are set out in Maturo’s quotation.
LANCIA / DELTA STRADALE
The silhouette stays.
Everything else is rediscovered.
For an Integrale rebuilt in depth, right down to its interior.
EnlargeCarbon bodywork, a reinforced shell and Group A-inspired mechanics: the Stradale takes the Delta transformation further. Four-wheel drive and a manual gearbox remain central to the project.
Inside, you choose the bucket seats, materials and finishes. A car defined as much by its character as by its details.
- Claimed power
- 400 hp
- Claimed torque
- 540 Nm
- Manual gearbox
- 5 gears
The preparation and interior in detail
Reinforced gearbox, limited-slip differentials, brakes derived from the Rally programme and four-way adjustable dampers. A dog-engagement gearbox and electronic ride-height adjustment are optional.
Carbon, leather, Alcantara, aluminium and titanium form a handcrafted interior. Together we define a specification that fits the way you use the car.
FERRARI / 308 STRADALE
The V8.
The gate. The desire.
Imagine a 308 in the spirit of the rally Ferraris prepared by Michelotto.
EnlargeA genuine 308 as the starting point. Its rebuilt naturally aspirated V8, a five-speed gated gearbox and hand-widened rear wings draw on Group 4 heritage.
Structure, brakes, controls and interior are rethought around this interpretation. The images show a direction; your specification is developed with the workshop.
- Engine
- V8 naturally aspirated
- Claimed maximum power
- 400 hp
- Gated gearbox
- 5 gears
Workshop work and interior studies
Stripped chassis, integrated roll cage, welded reinforcements and redesigned brakes. The V8 receives internal upgrades and a Capristo exhaust; the reinforced gearbox uses shorter ratios and a limited-slip differential.
A bespoke dashboard, leather, Alcantara, carbon and aluminium: the digital studies below illustrate the intended customisation, not a delivered interior.
Specifications stated by Maturo. Configuration, options, budget and timing must be confirmed for each project.
MY CONNECTION WITH MATURO
An encounter.
Then a real project.
EnlargeIt all began with a client’s Delta.
On this Martini 5, Maturo worked on the engine, gearbox and air conditioning, with a specific mechanical preparation.
I supported its owner and coordinated with Maturo. This is the approach I offer you: understand what you want from your car and bring together the right people to make your project happen.
Visit the workshop with meVisits by appointment, subject to Maturo’s availability.
The Martini 5 and behind the scenes of my visit
On this Martini 5, the work included camshafts, a specific manifold and bespoke mapping, alongside the mechanical restoration.
This project concerns this particular car; it does not describe a standard Maturo specification. Already own a Delta? We can start from its history and your expectations.
YOUR PROJECT WITH CHRIS CARCHASER
From desire
to the right choices.
My role: help you define your car, understand the technical choices and anticipate the budget, from finding a car to its handover.
- 01
Choose the starting point.
Your use, budget and existing car, or a donor to find. We select a programme and have Maturo assess the car’s suitability.
- 02
Define the complete project.
Specification, workshop quote, options, transport and fees. We arrange a review of registration and insurance possibilities in France before you commit.
- 03
Move forward with one contact.
Meeting the workshop, preparing the order, following milestones and coordinating handover: I support you within the agreed mandate.
Maturo carries out the work and validates the specifications. We agree my support and fees together before the project begins.
Before you begin.
Can we start with my Delta or Ferrari 308?
We examine its condition, history and your intended use. Maturo then confirms whether your car is suitable for the selected programme.
What budget and timing should I expect?
Cost and timing depend on the donor car, work and chosen specification. Before any order, I help you obtain a detailed quotation and an indicative schedule from Maturo.
What about a competition project?
Maturo also offers Delta Rally and 308 Rally programmes for competition. Tell me which events and category you are targeting so we can define the project with the workshop.
