The Kimera EV037 is a restomod of rally's most terrifying era.
Hissing, whooshing, and burbling, the Kimera EV037 announced its approach before I could see it climbing toward me on the roof of the garage. Looking down through the parking structure, I saw flashes of blue as the car shot up each ramp. Squealing tires on the last switchback, the car lunged fully into view. Yellow rally lights on the front end looked vintage – that is, until it got closer.
Betti’s EV037 is a gurgling, growling symbol of the way the high-end restomod market has been pumping out modernized classics at an almost staggering rate. Depending on whether you prefer your updated classic from Germany, Sweden, or Italy, options abound. Betti chose the Lancia Scorpion or Montecarlo as donor car for the EV037, the same base car Lancia initially used to homologate the 037 back in 1980.
Kimera’s design ethos was simple: Take all the pieces and parts that make up a Lancia 037 and throw them out. Then redesign each 1980s-era part using 2020s technology. The result is extensive use of high-precision CNC to produce almost every piece of the new EV037. The gear shifter is a prime example of the exquisite metal shapes you find throughout. The gold details wrapped with blue metallic paint and alcantara give off Subaru World Rally Blue vibes – and it works.
Betti waxes poetic about the ethos behind the EV037, putting it in a category all on its own. “There’s no comparable car on the market,” he half-explained and half-boasted. “Our EV037 is a Group B rally car updated with modern technology. This means it is a car completely different from all other sports cars. All of them take the concept inspiration from circuit race cars, not from rally. In circuit racing you have different conditions than ‘open roads’ and the driving style changes completely.
