I have always been drawn to the boxy turbo goodness of the Lancia Delta Integrale. Now it appears this gem is getting the "singer treatment" by Automobili Amos. Apparently the founder of Singer Vehicle Design has already placed an order for one. I am not sure if I like it better than the stock car which is already awesome, but either way it's always been one of my favorites.

If you could have any car as your daily driver, what would it be?
Another car forgotten is the 1986-1989 Mitsubishi Starion also rebadged and sold Under Chrysler Conquest. This car was Mitsubishi’s answer to Nissan Z car, Porsche 944, Mazda RX-7 and others. The naturally aspirated 2.6 liter 4 cyl was used in everything from forklifts to dodge caravans. mistubishi slapped a turbocharger on this engine and the Starion was born. Just Look at the body lines!
@Towmanred Thanks. Not many people think this is a beautiful car. Probably including me. But having driven a lot of Alfa 75s it is hard not to fall in love with it. When I look at it I see a design that works surprisingly well and which I've lapped the Nürburgring Nordschleife with countless times. Being the ultimate Alfa 75 the Evo is just "more of everything with a sprinkle of crazy on top". It is probably the hardest car to drive that I've driven (mine has been lightened a bit, the engine can easily be configured to put out enough horsepower to make it spin both rear wheels on dry tarmac under acceleration, I have huge brakes on it, a more efficient turbo, and a quicker steering rack so I won't kill myself when the rear lets go :))
I do like that Lancia. Damn, so many dream cars I have. I'll pick one of my top 3. As a daily driver, I don't care if it's not practically, I would love to drive one of these all day long.. and that would be a white, black or silver Porsche Flat(or a.k.a. Slant)Nose 911 930. I'd be almost equally happy with a silver Porsche 959 or a white Lamborghini Countach LP500 S or LP5000 QV .. what can I say? I grew up and a product of the 80's.
This!
PS: That's a Lancia Delta HF Integrale (EVO) the Lancia Delta S4 was a pure rally-car, mid-engined and had flat bonnet, rear side-scoops and smaller fender flares.
I still regret not getting a mint HF Integrale 16V EVO2 back in 2010..
