Homologation Specials || 1994 Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evo II

The infamous ending to the Group B era of the World Rally Championship led to a new breed of title-contending cars for the 1987 season. The Group A category (which had existed since the inception of Group B in 1982) cars that emerged during the following decade were a slower and less exotic variety than their short-lived Group B counterparts, but the competition between manufacturers during this era was also some of the strongest in the sport’s history, and it produced the winningest car platform to date: the Lancia Delta HF.

In HF 4WD form, the Delta HF made its dominant WRC debut in 1987, winning nine of the season’s 13 rounds, and with only two podium absences. Lancia won the constructors’ title five additional times—in a row—afterwards, thanks to its strong driver lineups and the ever-evolving Delta. The car grew wider and more powerful during its remarkably long competitive lifespan, culminating in the Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evoluzione in the 1992 season.

It lived up to its successful heritage and helped Lancia win the WRC constructors’ title one last time, but it also marked the end of the company’s prestigious decades-long rallying program. One of the greatest examples in sport of bowing out on a competitive high note, the Delta HF rally cars are a worthy capstone to a lineage of cars that includes up a majority of the WRC’s most beloved mechanical competitors.

As the Delta was continuously wrung for more performance between 1987 and 1992, Lancia complied with regulations and released road-going variants to legalize the introduction of new parts and designs, which left the enthusiast market with a pretty diverse range of high-performance street-legal Delta variants.

This episode of Homologation Specials features the very last of these hot Deltas, the HF Integrale Evoluzione II. And although this model has the wildest bodywork, the most power, and the highest degree of overall development of the lot, it technically isn’t a homologation special at all, seeing as Lancia’s WRC program had officially concluded before the release of the “Evo 2” in 1993. We hope you’ll cut it some slack, though, and that you enjoy watching Petrolicious host Sam Hancock weaving it through some mountain switchbacks.

The Great Wave by Hokusai || Great Art Explained

James Payne discusses the Great Wave.

In 1639 Japan closed its borders and cut itself off from the outside world. Foreigners were expelled, Western culture was forbidden, and Entering or leaving Japan was punishable by Death. It would remain that way for over 200 years.

It was under these circumstances that a quintessentially Japanese art developed. Art for the people that was consumed on an unprecedented scale.

The Sports Car That Never Loses Its Value || Behind The HYPE: Porsche 911

While cars are universally known to be horrible investments, 911s inexplicably maintain value and can even resell for double and triple of their retail costs over time.

So why own a 911? The explanation is in its instant appeal for petrolheads and collectors alike. The Porsche 911 has become “the” benchmark for all sports cars, but is also impossible for rival automakers to replicate, thanks to its half-century-old formula of being rear-engined. Its iconic performance and unique shape has ingrained it into pop culture, with countless appearances in movies like Bad Boys, Fast Five, Gone in 60 Seconds and Office Space.

Celebrities like LeBron James, Kanye West, Rihanna, David Beckham, Jay-Z and Beyonce have all taken orders of theirs, and comedian Jerry Seinfeld and former fashion designer Magnus Walker both have warehouses filled with their Porsche collections.

"Yea I guess as a kid, you have limitless dreams and you can kind of think of whatever you want to do, you can do. But as you get older and especially after graduating high school, you got to think of how you can, you know make ends meet and stuff. So during those times, dreams can either slip away from you, if you let them, or you can pour your heart into it and really make it work." - Casey Brown

The Lamborghini Miura Is Still Untamed 

|| Short Film

“I think it’s the car that put Lamborghini on the map,” says Dennis Varni.

Owner of a stunning Miura P400 S since 1979, Varni is an enthusiast with varied tastes, from Bonneville Salt Flats racers to a Fiat Topolino. But the Miura…the Miura is in a league of its own. It’s also something that he’d lusted after since he first laid eyes upon one.

“These things were $19,000 new in those days, and I’d just bought a house with my wife for $11,000 in 1966, and I said, ‘I’ll never be able to own one of these’.”

But less than a decade later, he did. And as a long-time owner who was originally into hot rods, he’s enjoyed how the car has opened his eyes into a world of European sports cars.

“The most redeeming thing about the Miura would be the fact that there’s only so many of them. it’s highly collectable, it’s exciting, because it’s unusual, it’s small, it’s exotic—it’s still exotic today. And it was significant in its styling.”

“I hope I get to stay around a long time, and play with all my toys, and then when I go someone else will have them,” he says. With a vast appreciation for all things automobile, we hope that Varni continues to enjoy his beloved Miura for a long time to come.

Samoa || Tattoos

Samoan tattoos are some of the largest and most intricate in the world, with the customary male half body tattoo taking weeks to complete using painful traditional tools. 

While traditional designs and techniques have enjoyed a recent revival, patterns are changing to become smaller, simpler and more accessible to younger generations. 

But as the tattooing business booms among locals, expat Samoans and tourists, some artists are concerned that poorly qualified newcomers are devaluing the tradition.

Basquiat Confronts the Legacy of Italian Masters || Sotheby's

Ahead of New York’s upcoming Contemporary Art Evening auction, Grégoire Billault, Head of New York’s Contemporary Art Department, and David Galperin, Head of New York’s Contemporary Art Evening Sales, come together to discuss a highlight of the marquee event: Jean-Michel Basquiat’s Versus Medici.

Painted in 1982, when the artist was just 22 years old, Versus Medici is among Basquiat’s most forceful visual challenges to the Western art establishment. In the early 1980s, Basquiat travelled to Italy to take part in his first solo exhibition; during his trip, he no doubt witnessed the legacy of the Medici family’s legendary patronage – which includes artworks from Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, Botticelli and others masters of the Italian Renaissance. In Versus Medici, Basquiat is confronting the Medici legacy – that of classical art history – by adopting, respecting and subverting a range of influences. Yellow and red, the Medici colors, define the background; anatomical studies reference da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man; the triptych format brings to mind works by Hans Memling. But in the foreground, Basquiat places a black figure – literally inserting the Black body, his body, into the mainstream narrative of art history. And with his signature, a three-point crown, Basquiat claims victory over the Medici legacy.
