Throttle House introduces the Chimera Automobilei 037, a resto-modded masterpiece paying homage to the legendary Lancia Rally car. Crafted by the skilled hands of Chimera Automobili, this car is a true delight for driving enthusiasts. With its manual transmission, mid-engined layout, and rear-wheel drive, it promises a thrilling experience on the road. But what truly sets it apart is the 2.1-liter four-cylinder engine that roars with the intensity of a Maserati MC20 mixed with the entire cast of The Fast and the Furious. It's an emotional symphony of power.
To achieve such impressive performance, Chimera's engineers have employed a clever combination of a supercharger and a turbocharger. The supercharger takes charge in the lower RPM range, delivering power with minimal loss. Then, as the revs climb, the turbocharger seamlessly takes over, propelling the car to its redline. The result? The best of both worlds, with the positives of both forced induction systems and none of the drawbacks.
This Chimera masterpiece also boasts a satisfying six-speed shifter, reminiscent of the ones found in the Audi R8 and Lamborghini Gallardo. However, this one offers even more linkage, adding a touch of pervy pleasure to the driving experience. It demands purposeful shifts, but the reward is an ear-to-ear smile that lasts throughout the drive.
Comparisons are made to the C63, another four-cylinder car, but the Chimera outshines it in terms of power. With different engine maps, it can unleash up to an impressive 505 horsepower. And while some may argue that it's too much for the road, it's a testament to the Chimera's capabilities and performance.
Throttle House is absolutely smitten with the Chimera Automobilei 037. Its absurdity is a thing of beauty, and its four-cylinder engine produces a soundtrack that stirs the soul. This resto-modded marvel is a true homage to the rally icon, delivering an engaging and involving driving experience that leaves a lasting impression.
