Cuneo, February 1, 2024
– The fever of anticipation is rising. From 37 to 38 degrees… And with it, the ambition of Kimera Automobili is reaching new heights, with the announcement of the arrival of a new car that aims to undertake a metaphorical journey, going back in time and changing history, creating an alternative reality, a sort of metaverse…

“What if?” What would have happened if…? This is the question that Luca Betti, creator and founder of Kimera Automobili, asked himself, involving once again the same “actors” from the previous rebirth of a world motorsport icon. This four-wheeled legend has been evolved by Kimera into the EVO37 that we got to know in 2021 and that 37 fortunate collectors quickly brought to a sold-out status. And with one of the actors who participated in the rebirth of the myth, Miki Biasion, a two-time World Rally Champion and European Champion on the predecessor of the EVO37, Luca Betti and the already proven and winning team of technicians and designers have been working on the new project named EVO38 in recent months.

The creature about to see the light is therefore the Group B that everyone would have wanted and that never came to be, the direct descendant of the last queen of two-wheel drive that left the scene for commercial reasons, after winning the 1983 World Rally Championship, to a model that then dominated the world stage for the next 10 years.

At the time, a prototype of this idea was also being created, they called it “Mazinga” because of its resemblance to a “comics robot” shape, a first crude experiment in evolution to try to transform that winning car that was perfect in poise, balance, and ease of driving but simply lacked all-wheel drive. The Kimera EVO38 will have shapes far from that rough prototype but will take up the philosophy and spirit of a legendary team that had brought Italian technical excellence to the world, which wanted once again to surpass its limits, and progressively, to improve its creation.

February 22, 2024, is the date on which Kimera Automobili will unveil the EVO38 to the public on all its communication channels and then finally showcase it in a world premiere at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show, scheduled from February 26 to March 3, 2024.

Here, the EVO38 will be presented in an exceptional stand, in the presence of all the legendary models of the Team Martini Racing dynasty that preceded it, and of which this car represents the Ultimate Evolution.
 
WHAT IF ? WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN IF? IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THIS!

What would have happened if the lineage of the most iconic and successful sport cars built in Turin, from 1978 to 1992 had not been interrupted? That precious heritage would have condensed and grown through natural descent into the generation of an heir, the final evolution of its species.

ULTIMA EVOLUZIONE

The EVO38 gathers and elevates this inheritance, the legacy of a time when Italy was great in the world, to remind everyone where the most beautiful creations in the history of cars were born: in Italy, in Piedmont, in Turin.

“These cars are part of our DNA, our culture, our land. They have been part of my life since forever. They move me. Today as a child. I used to go to bed with their scale model and I would remain enchanted watching them for hours and even now, despite my age and the time that has passed, nothing has changed.”

Cit. Luca Betti – Kimera Automobili

NOBLE DINASTY

EVO38 is the definitive descendant of a great lineage of cars designed for racing and put on the roads. “Pure” cars, analogic and mechanical, forged by creative, handcrafted, human inspiration.

“In sports, there are no half-measures. If you participate, you must do it in the best possible way. In motorsports, this aspect is even more pronounced: the imperative is to be superior to the competitors.”
Cit. Cesare Fiorio – Team Principal Lancia Martini Racing

UNIVERSAL HEIR

A car which is born “ultra” sporty and inherits from its noble predecessors the strong inspiration that permeates its DNA, in the image and resemblance of its heritage both stylistically and technically.

Therefore, the latest evolution of this philosophy is not definable as restomod, but more similar to a “few-off” produced in a limited edition of only 38 units.

“Kimera Automobili is made up of an extraordinary group of people. Luca Betti did a magnificent job by putting them together and unite them. And the results are exceptional. When there is commitment and motivation, results can only come.”

Cit. Ing. Claudio Lombardi.

Not a big fan of the visual changes. Also, this car never needed 4WD.
In my eyes, this isn't an upgrade over the normal Kimera EVO37 in any way.
