The Lancia Ypsilon HF will be available starting from the month of maggio 2025with an electric motor, a power of 280 hp and an acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.8 seconds. The brand’s CEO himself officially announced it, Luke Napolitanowho said: “We are definitely warming up the engines for the next chapter of our Renaissance!”
And so, while the new Lancia Ypsilon can be ordered at dealerships, Eugenio Franzetti, Lancia Corse HF Director, is working on the return of the Lancia brand to Rally and Miki Biasion tells you what it feels like to drive the Lancia Ypsilon Rally 4 HF and the new Ypsilon.
Miki Biasion’s special test
Yesterday we showed you a video on Instagram with the sound of a “mysterious” engine, today here are the photos of Miki Biasion driving the Lancia Ypsilon Rally 4 HF. “The first sensations are definitely excellent – said the driver -. We worked to improve the performance of the car, fine-tuning various parameters: engine response, trying different mappings; grip on the ground and road holding, working on springs and shock absorbers; braking, perfecting the braking system, Gearbox responsivenesstesting new ratios. I am very honoured to be able to contribute to the development of both the Ypsilon Rally 4 HF and the new Lancia Ypsilon HF, two fundamental models in the Lancia Renaissance plan”.

Miki Biasion guides the Ypsilon Rally 4 HF
The Lancia Ypsilon Rally 4 HF is in fact committed, we remind you, to the official return of the brand to the world of Rally in Italy in 2025 (the category will be the Rally 4where young talents compete). Equipped with front-wheel drive, with 5-speed mechanical transmission and mechanical self-locking differential, the Lancia Ypsilon Rally 4 HF is equipped with a 1.2 litre turbo 3 cylinder and 4 valves per cylinder that develops 212 CV.
What Biasion thinks of the new Ypsilon
On the same day Biasion also drove the new Ypsilon and this is what he said: “It is a very agile city car with great ease of handling, which even a rally driver like me can enjoy, on the bends of a hilly route and with a prompt response when starting at the traffic lights.

Excellent acoustic comfort, thanks to the soundproofing package created specifically for a typically Lancia interior environment, always welcoming, in any conditions, even on difficult roads, or even when driving at high speed”.
