Kimera Automobili unveiled the EVO38, an “Integrale” version of the sold-out EVO37, featuring a host of exterior, interior, and mechanical upgrades. The highlight of the EVO38 is the addition of an all-wheel-drive system, taking inspiration from the never-materialized evolution of the rear-drive Lancia 037 rally car.

The new model is described as “Ultima Evoluzione” which is Italian for “Final Evolution”. The styling stays true to the successful recipe of the EVO37, although the EVO38 has a redesigned bodykit. At the front, the bumper has larger intakes and the hood has a deeper vent. On the profile, the fenders are wider and slightly boxier than before, highlighting the new rally-inspired alloy wheels shod in Pirelli P Zero tires. Finally, there have been revisions in the engine cover, diffuser, and rear wing, while a new single exhaust pipe is mounted between the round taillights.

Kimera has yet to announce the detailed specifications of the EVO38 but we know there are improvements under the skin. The engine has been upgraded with a larger centrally-mounted turbocharger, improved ventilation, and new chimney-style exhausts, resulting in more power compared to its predecessor. The biggest difference however will be the AWD system, making the EVO38 faster than the RWD EVO37 together with a revised chassis setup and an improved weight distribution. The company also said that the new model has better ergonomics inside the cabin.

As hinted at by the name, the EVO38 will be produced in a limited number of 38 units – which is one more compared to the previous iteration. Pricing has yet to be disclosed but no one expects a heavily re-engineered Lancia 037-inspired restomod to come cheap.

Besides the EVO38, Kimera has also announced the upcoming K-39 “hyper restomod”, which will be destined for motorsport activities with a very limited production run and an even wilder aerodynamic package.
