The Ypsilon HF, set for sale in May 2025, is an electric car featuring a front-mounted 240-horsepower motor. It runs on a 54-kWh battery and can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 5.8 seconds. Engineered on the Common Modular Platform (CMF), it shares its foundation with the Abarth 600e and Alfa Romeo Junior Veloce. In addition to the upgraded electric motor, the Ypsilon HF has a wider track and lowered suspension for improved handling.

Conversely, the Ypsilon Rally 4 HF is equipped with a traditional gasoline engine—a 1.2-liter turbocharged three-cylinder capable of producing 212 horsepower. Designed to comply with FIA Group Rally4 standards, it includes racing features such as a five-speed gearbox and a mechanical limited-slip differential. This model clearly points towards Lancia’s revived focus on rally sports.

Further emphasizing its commitment to high performance across future models, Lancia has promised that all upcoming offerings—including the Gamma and Delta—will receive what they term 'High-Fidelity' (HF) treatment over this decade.
Lancia's rich heritage underscores this current initiative; their use of the 'HF' badge dates back to the Fulvia Coupe HF introduced in 1966 under their historic HF racing team formed in 1963. Iconic models that followed like Stratos HF and Delta HF Integrale Evolution have cemented Lancia's legacy in auto sports—a lineage that today’s models seek to honor.
This approach not only revives but also respects Lancia’s storied past while aiming to position them once again at the forefront of automotive design and performance in an evolving industry landscape under parent company Stellantis' promise to maintain each unique brand identity it holds.
