The Kimera Automobili EVO37 is an Insane Thrill Ride of a Car - BTS with DTS - Ep. 11

- It takes a very special car to match or even exceed the thrill of a Ferrari F40, but Kimera Automobili’s Lancia 037 tribute, the EVO37, does exactly that. In this video, Derek Tam-Scott visits Cuneo, Italy, the birthplace of this absurd creation and goes for a very wild ride with its creator, Luca Betti. Betti is a former rally driver and it shows in the EVO37. Like the original 037, it uses the center section of a Lancia Beta Montecarlo with new front and rear ends, together with a forced induction version of the iconic Aurelio Lampredi Fiat twin-cam engine. With over 500hp, rear wheel drive, and less than 2500 pounds, the EVO37 is a very spicy meatball. But it’s also beautiful to look at and very much a fitting homage to one of the most successful rally cars of all time, a car that defined the start of the iconic Group B era.

who needs a kidney? i have one of 2 ltd editions up for grabs. in exchange, ill have of these fine cars please!!!!!!! i want this car!!!! damn fine work dudes. amazing car and work. well done.
Funny, you can have a Tesla, much faster acceleration and not pollute the environment. Oh, did I mention Tesla makes spaceships too?
@@chamade166 Funny, nobody gives a shit about Tesla
Unreliable, Soulless and dull
@@chamade166 ah. nope, not for me.
how many kidneys are you willing to spend? (-;
@@chamade166 *crying..
No thank you..
I'd rather this lancia in my garage never starting rather than a tesla daily
These restomod companies are making cars which have immense character to the point where I’d rather buy them over alot of super cars
Agreed. I'd take a Singer 911 over a factory 911 any day. There's just so much more...soul in those cars.
Any day
Restomods are better than new cars in every imaginable way
Remember, it costs more than a V12 Ferrari.
@@R4M_Tommy But it's also waaay more fun n rewarding than the current V12 Ferraris. Will probably easily run circles around them too. *PLUS* it's a manual! 🤤
There is nothing on sale today that comes even close to looking as good as this. Wow, just wow.
100% correct. It’s a stunner.

Side profile lines of a supercar, headlights of a rally car, styling like an Italian artist....and that dark green with those copper/gold rims are just....woah. too bad only 37 of them for the world, wonder if this will be the only one with that color scheme combo? Love how it retains that simple 1970s interior look.
I think that the 037 stradale is the most beautiful car ever made. And what the car was capable of doing, being the last rwd to win the wrc beating the Quatro just makes it better. So happy these restomod companies are bringing it back and I hope that one day this will be in my garage next to me evo.
Absolutely, like the GT40, there is not one angle where it looks bad. It's beautiful, and the spirit of this car is beyond everything, I love those old cars where you need to make one with it to drive this monster, like the R5 Turbo or old GTIs.
DTS saying “batshit” in such a dignified way somehow matches the car really well
Group-B hell noises are back again in this monster... Cool beast !
A very sharp scalpel in the wrong hands can be lethal..
@@poplaurentiu4148 Even a butterknife ( BMW whatever model they add an "M power" badge to these days) is lethal simply because those who can afford it are usually show-offs rather than actual enthusiasts who have the proper patience willing to build up proper skills
Derek this is impeccably produced and an amazing tribute to a car I now desperately want.
Except that having a skeleton crew, meant that camera work is often pretty sloppy. 🙄
go help them then if you're so good at it :)
😕 Oh, dear. You seem confused, @@user-pp2gq8ph4e. I didn't say the entire team were useless, or that I could do better. We're all here, watching these vids, and we can compare them.
In this one, the drone shots seem fine, and some of the on-road shots are good too. I think the in-car shots in particular, are definitely lower quality than many of the others Derek presents. (Yes, I know there isn't a back seat space in the EV037, where a camera could be mounted, or a cam operator could sit. I'm still confident that much better shots have been taken in similar smallish cars, in previous DTS vids.)
A gorgeous machine. I especially want to thank you for pronouncing Lancia correctly, something that about 98% of all CZcamsr car video makers seem unable to do.
You can't expect people from other countries to pronounce names of rare car brands correctly. Most of the world doesn't speak italian, and we don't learn how to prononuce car names in school. I can give you some old Norwegian car brand names and complain about your pronounciation, if you want.
@@Wormweed But his job is to know about cars. Being able to pronounce the name of a manufacturer or model is not an unreasonable expectation for that profession.
@@Blackferret66 It's quite unreasonable imo, as everyone understand what they mean if they don't pronounce it correctly. Take Murcielago for example, every youtuber pronounce it differently.
Maybe it's just me, but it's something you see everywhere, and i think it's a bit unfair. just try to pronounce Arkansas the way it's written and the entire comment section is ruined.
Launch - uhh?
Like a rocket launch?
SICK. ABSOLUTELY SICK. What a work of art. I mean firstly the video and then the car and that says a lot. Thank you for making such an exceptional video. It was just absolute pure joy to watch. I appreciate the history lesson and the attention to detail and sophistication is unparalleled. Thank you for giving us so much joy that no one else can deliver.
What could be more sick 😂? - Old school street driven sleeper engine of lancia 2L 8V is also potential and just needs a little bit more engine love. 8V engine showed around 618Hp / 783Nm in dyno. Integrale 8V had more power than in modern Ford WRC 16V rally cross engine, which also was tuned and tested for comparison. 16V WRC type rally cross engine of course has more potential but nasty class mod. limitations prevent 600+.
That car is so right in so many ways. Love how DTD described the induction noise.
Thought I'd never see a B/DTS video since the Drives series released, I found this presentation style more consistent and presentable
I miss the old style.
The old style is easily more entertaining. And it's why you're here in the first place. Because it enthralled you. The current style is more of history lesson than driving.
I loved the drives back in the day. Where the history was 35% of the video and the rest was driving and car porn.
Now it's 88% history and the miserly balance is left for driving.
Just now enough now
@@londoriath3764 Which videos from "back in the day" are you referring to? The "ISSIMI Drives" series? The oldest video is 8 months old...
@@francoisbeaune3289 The earlier DTS videos
CHeck em out.
@@francoisbeaune3289 And you must be on the wrong channel
The oldest DTS video is two years old
There are even older videos on the channel with Cammisa
@@londoriath3764 I believe I'm on the right channel? I was looking at the Drives playlist of that channel, since that's what you mentioned. I'm simply wondering if there's more that I haven't found yet. Maybe another, older channel? I really like DTS' style. Anything else with him?
Love the 037, I'm on a journey to budget restomod my Lancia Scorpion/Montecarlo. I don't want batshit crazy just something that enhances the original capable platform. So I figure a 230hp flat six lump is a good place to start. I don't give a crap about views or subs but if you're curious I'm happy to share my progress. Will be jumping back into it after a hiatus of madness and work.
A Lancia Gamma OHC 2.5l flat 4 with a Volumex supercharger would be more suited... more Lancia !
@@jean-charlesweyland129 Thanks for the comment Jean-Charles, however this is a budget build with a (more) modern engine for reasons I explain in my opening build episode. Best regards!
@@rivenmotors7981 I watched you first episode on the build and I get it. The Gamma flat four is also an all alloy engine (330lbs gearbox included!), fuel injected (80 to 84) and front wheel drive so that you've got drive shafts coming out the side of the gearbox just like on your SVX powerplant.
I live in France and Gamma engine are also real cheap (around 300$), Volumex supercharger are more expensive and often priced between 1500-2000$.
I recently bought 4 good ones for 3k, I plan on mounting one to my 78 Gamma Coupe and for the time being I enjoy driving my 84 Beta HPE VX.
@@jean-charlesweyland129 Wow a Gamma Coupe AND an HPE?! Both beautiful cars, there was an HPE on the property where I found the Montecarlo/Scorpion and I so wish I could've gotten it as well.
a Honda K20A2 would rip in a Scorpion, a straight six doesnt make any sense
The car speaks for itself...but those rims:
GREATEST LOOKING WHEEL DESIGN IVE EVER SEEN🔥🔥
The writing on this video was extremely eloquent. Props to the main script writer.
Since lots of people are commenting… the seat and steering wheel position in this car were not final as it is a preproduction car (Chassis 001). The driver is also 6’4 😁
Another frequent question is regarding the engine. It is a twin-charged engine with the supercharger engaging below 4,000rpm when it disengages using a clutch and the turbo takes hold. Similar to the Delta S4
Ah, makes sense now!
How much !!!! $ ?
@@user-pd9vm9ts1o 480 000€
@@rjung_ch Still, as someone 6'5" and more than mostly leg - that does not look comfortable to drive.
@@DanielCooper1 Yes, I'm 6'2 and that meant I could never ever fit into a Lotus, the older small ones. I always felt sad about that, but it's built for most people under 6' I guess.
Thank you: This car is gorgeous both physically & mechanically and this video takes me back to the early 80's. At 15, I had a Saturday job helping out at a local Lancia garage, before leaving school to start an engineering apprenticeship with Audi. Spending a lot of my weekends on rally stages, it was the most wonderful time to be a petrolhead. I was torn between my heart (Lancia) and my head (Audi) but new cars were beyond my reach, so at 18 I bought a beautiful used Beta HPE. My friends laughed and joked that it would wash away in the rain but it had such character, that I could forgive it anything.
Forty years later, I'm still torn and both my 'rally heroes' are still beyond my reach but in my fantasy garage, there would be both a Sport Quattro and an 037 - just because, head and heart.
Bro I feel your passion
In my mind one of the most beautiful cars ever made
That looks amazing. Leg room looks an issue but wow what a car. The 037 is one of my favourite group b cars.
It is design for normal Humans !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
18 hours! I have to wait 18 hours? It better be a great one Hyphen.
And here I thought for years and years I wanted to build a Stratos kit car and make it my own in every way (which I still may do) This though is an absolute work of art.. With how much it costs I can say confidently that I would much rather have this than any super, top tier luxury, or hyper car on the market hands down and is now one of the most exclusive, true enthusiasts machines money can buy. I sincerely hope that they do another limited release modern rendition of the S4 in the same vein.
100 percent
Every detail of this lil super turbo ripper is so perfect, I would drive it then stare at it, then repeat asap, so dang cool
I instantly, and desperately, want one of these. What a stunning vehicle. I wouldn't change anything, other than requesting a RHD version.
It is just a perfect combination of 'beauty' and 'beast'!
I love the 037, but this is defintly a masterpiece.
Italian car-manufactoring at it's best
Been waiting on this to premiere my only complaint is the content is so good I can’t get enough fast enough from this to Icons and revelations love everything you guys are doing
Jason Cammisa moved Icons and Revelations to Hagerty last year.
This car is incredible. Beautiful color choice. The drivers back then had some serious balls, driving literally an experimental championship car.
I loved the old clips, backstory and evolution.
Thomas would probably give you his whole channel for this car, second only to an Alfaholics GTA-R. I’ve seen it in person and it’s mind-blowing, especially if you’re a rally fan. Thanks for such a high quality deep dive on this rare beast BTS.
So lovely to watch! My father bought a Lancia Beta Montecarlo at the beginning of his mid-life crisis. A beautiful car...colour scheme was 'ick' Canary yellow with dark green interior.
I'm very glad that Jason Cammisa and Hagerty popularized the "driving sounds" outro for car videos.
Great review Derek. Your channel has really stepped up the quality to best in class for car reviews. You are a natural for narration of this type of video. I’m sure a great deal of work went into researching the details for this car and we all appreciate your effort.
another masterpiece content by ISSIMI , thanks a lot guys.
Lancia is such a precious brand...I hope it will have a come back!
Of all the restomods that have come out this 037 Kimera is the most beautiful and alluring of them all.
Everything about this car is pure mechanical artistry. The design and execution is simple and sublime.
Loved mustang for years….but I’ve never loved a car more. I could absolutely rock this car.
So happy to see BTS with DTS back! hyphen rocks this format!
Absolutely love this series another great one
the most magical part is the feeling of the dash on your knees
We just addressed this in a “pinned” comment. Thanks for watching!
Uggh, I am fully saying this without pretension or intention to use cliches. However, 😂 it’s truly a work of art. From the look to the sound to the performance, just 👌🏼Grazie di tutto
Now we definitely need the sound only video for this car like the mclaren F1
This is absolutely beautiful to look at ❤️and that sound is just delta s4
If I won the lottery this car would be no 1 on my list
Forget supercars
I loved watching the 037 in the group b days
I absolutely love this and massive respect to all who were involved in building this ❤
I think this may be the most aesthetically beautiful car I have ever seen!
that's it, that's the most beautiful car i've ever seen
Love these videos! Would have never known this existed with our 95 year old host.
I'll take one. :)
Typical Italian seating position. Right leg impaled into centre console. Left leg left with tonnes of room and no support. My Fiat Coupe 20v Turbo was exactly the same. Love Italian cars :)
My 147, although and aguarbly more modern have similar ergonomics if you can call them that. But then you wind that 16V twinspark engine and turn the steering towards a few bends and everything is Ok 😎🤌
How tall are you? if you are like me 170cm tall. all italian cars even small fiat 850 Coupe fits perfectly, 🙂i think the average Italian guy that some of these cars where molded for is why many people are complaining about the seating position 😀
@@DArkwIng2 I’m 172cm. I fit no problem on the 147, but ergonomically if I want to set distances properly for both legs and arms and sitting fairly upright, you always have to compromise. It’s either legs Ok and arms stretched or arms bent properly with squashed legs 😅
It’s not a space issue it’s just position. But I’m used to it now so 😎👌
@@DArkwIng2 Yeah OK I confess I am 6' 4inches.But that not the issue. All Italian cars I've driven have this weird offset driving position. Perfectly illustrated in this video. Not sure why.
I love the 037 always have. I came across it in a video game and actually fell for its looks.. looking into the car later on I j fell deeper and deeper in love. My appreciation for rallying grew. As before I mainly enjoyed looking at cars. The 037 sparked my love for all types of racing. This EV037 is quite literally one of the most beautiful cars I’ve ever seen. Back then it sparked my love for racing. This is now sparking my love for restos
Old boy was damn near driving with his knees
All hail Hyphen
The 037 has to be the most gorgeous rally car ever designed. How much are these supermodel thrill rides, as it wasn't mentioned (?)
We agree! They start at around half a million dollars.
The sound is just cathartic. Don't think I've heard even a Lambo or Ferrari that sounds that good before. I'd love to see these guys do something similar with a Stratos
Glad to hear some enthusiasm in ole Hyphen’s voice. These videos used to be boring because it sounded like someone was reading a transcript to a sociologist. This has quite a bit more character than the last time I watched although you can still tell that Derek is reading a script. Much better though…keep it up, big homie. 🤘🏻
I'm very glad to have grown up in the 80's. The spectators in the footage sums up what we have lost. Personal responsibility for risk management so you can do whatever you are prepared to accept the downside of. Excellent video, thanks!
The car looks amazing. The driving position, however, doesn't look like it's make for adults.
It's the Italian way. My Fiat Coupe was exactly the same. Always got out of it after a hard drive not being able to walk properly for several minutes. Didn't mind though it's worth it for the drive.
Where was this channel all my life, exquisite production 💯🤌
Luca looks insufferably cramped in his new(ish) creation.
We just addressed this in a “pinned” comment. Thanks for watching and for the comment!
What an amazing, well written, filmed, editted and produced video. Great work.
Fantastic review, truthful and well put together. The 037 is legendary and deserves a product like this to homage it
Certainly looks the part!
I wonder about interior space though... Seems very tight and potentially uncomfortable in there!
I don't know... The knee position looks very uncomfortable
We just addressed this in a “pinned” comment. Thanks for watching and for the comment!
Excellent. You found another gem, and brought it in for show and tell! 👍
This is one of those rare gifts from the YT algorithm. What a great presentation of an amazing recreation. And yes, it might be the best sounding 4-cyl. car ever!
I liked the show, but I wanted to hear more about the new car and the history of the vehicle could have been another episode.
You won't know anything about what makes the new car significant without the history of the old car. You're just easily bored.
@@bhr788 - I guess it's easy for you take make assumptions about people on the internet who you don't know, but I'm well aware of the history of the 037. That's why I was bored hearing it again.
@@Teritius Good for you. There's a little bar at the bottom of the video you can use the skip the parts you've heard before. Try that next time.
@@bhr788 - or you could be okay with people having a different opinion than you. I understand that some people want to start arguments with people they don't know, but that sounds a little childish, doesn't it?
This car is beautiful. I remember as a kid watching all those Group B rally cars and I wanted to do that forever. And to see a car like this modernized but still hold its look and nothing significantly changed and being true to itself is just absolutely beautiful. If I ever win the lottery, I would definitely own one of these, without a doubt.
Having owned two Lancia’s… there is something in this dna that nobody gets. As for this masterclass of workmanship, well it’s a solid wet dream. Truly not for everyone that’s for sure. I often come here from toned to time and play it, the sounds, the amazing behind the scenes development makes me understand, that this is what a real petrolhead would want to shift up through the gears only to feel subhuman with this Kimera. 😍
This masterpiece could serve as a definition of “Passion”
Showing the onboard videos at the end with just the engine sound is the perfect finishing touch….well done!
The 037 is one of my all time favourite cars but this is seriously next level. Fantastic job
You really caught all the emotion of rally driving. Amazing job.
That made me tear up, never missed the old B days so much, really good video, thank you Sir.
What an absolutely gorgeous car. The colour combo is incredible.
WOW! WOW! WOW!
This machine is incredible. So much to love in such a gorgeously small package. Excellent feature as always.
That car is the Beauty and The Beast wrapped up in one package. It looks great, sounds great and goes great. What more can one ask.
Nice! I love these modern interpretations of older cars. Beautiful bodies with more modern and reliable mechanicals. Best of both worlds!
so much more beautiful than every modern Lamborghini or Ferrari, wow breath taking!
Absolutely astonishing, and what a great video to capture it and tell the wstory.
Great work as usual Derek… keep up the good work. And make lancia great again ❤
What a perfect car! Best restomod I have ever seen, tribute to a great car.
Great video and the Lancia brand is my favorite small non Supercar brand. Your videos always give such great history and depth to the cars.
Wonderful car and video. Great job to the both of you!
Hands down one of the most beautiful cars I have ever seen….❤
Used to love watching rallying in the 80s with my dad when i was young lad.
And that's how it should be done!! Effin BRAVO!!
Amazing video and an amazing piece of art. Well done
On the floor shifter.
Limited run of 37 Evo 037. THSanks for the fascinating video.
Love the reimagined ideas in this car
How beautiful that something like this exists.
Beautiful film with a very accurate conclusion of Lancia's Group B era.
One of the CLEANEST builds I've ever seen
What a video (for both the story, the edit, the sexy shots and the sound). And then, what a car... Thank you.
Wow, watched the intro twice. Stunningly shot video and the 037 is just gorgeous with remarkable attention to detail.
🙌
DTS, great episode! Thank you!
PS. That Graziano trans you mentioned was also used in 2008-2008 DBS 6MT cars and F430 6MT cars.
The quality of video is amazing!
I absolutely love this - simply stunning
The wheels are mesmerizing! That's art.
The car is beautiful, and the video was perfect. Quality content at the highest level.
This car is pure symphony. Love the design
Watching those rallying clips at the beginning it is clear that the safest place to be is in the cars
That's how a car should look. Beautiful
One of my favourite Lancias of all time that was both massively underrated and under appreciated.
Great to see an analogue supercar with power that isn't absurd, but still thrilling for 99.9% of drivers
Wow, just WOW. I like the violence at which it kicks the rear end at every corner.
This car is just Badass!!!....Of all the restomods out there , this has to be one of the best on : looks , engine mainly. You could park this and just stare , it has no bad angle. Then there's the unique engine , this would be a joy to own and live with , no radio needed......9/10 ( if it had a five cylinder turbo 10/10 )
This car deserves a place in heaven.
Huge props to the guy. Ommage and better, smarter version at the same time. I want one,
That design, that color!!! Wow, amazing beyond belief! And then there's the actual engineering....
