A Kimera EVO37 is being auctioned, expected to fetch over $1 million. The Lancia 037 restomod started from €450,000, but prices have soared. This EVO37 combines a brown exterior with a light beige leather interior. The Lancia 037 is a rally legend, dethroning the dominant Audi Quattro and winning the 1983 World Rally Championship with Walter Röhrl and Markku Alén. Recognizing a gap in the market for a modernized, road-legal version of this car, Kimera Automobili introduced the EVO37 restomod in 2021. Naturally, the model quickly became one of the priciest and most desirable cars in its class. The EVO37, capped at just 37 units, was initially priced from €450,000 ($512,000). Five years ago, that sounded like a lot of money, particularly for a car built by a brand with no provenance.

The company unveiled the upgraded EVO38 in 2024, but that didn’t affect the skyrocketing prices of its predecessor. Broad Arrow Auctions The EVO37 is now so sought after, that number 18 of the 37 units built, is expected to sell for between $1,081,000 and $1,309,000 in a Broad Arrow auction next month. This is more than double its original price, meaning that the car could end up being a really profitable investment. More: Has Stellantis Cancelled The Return Of Lancia’s Delta? This particular example was finished in early 2025 and stands out thanks to a special shade of metallic brown, known as Kimera Luci del Bosco. This paint is inspired by the iconic Lamborghini Miura, and looks absolutely superb complemented by bronze-colored alloy wheels. Although the EVO37’s design is very similar to the original Lancia, it looks a little more modern and aggressive, largely thanks to the huge ducktail-style lip spoiler at the rear. It’s also hard to argue with what powers the car. Broad Arrow Auctions Power comes from a supercharged and turbocharged 2.1-liter four-cylinder with 498 hp and 406 lb-ft (550 Nm) of torque. This engine works alongside a six-speed manual transmission driving the rear wheels, allowing the car to hit 100 km/h (62 mph) in just three seconds and power through to a 193 mph (310 km/h) top speed. More: When The Real Thing Costs Over Half A Million, You Settle For This The EVO37 isn’t just a one-trick pony that does well in a straight line either, as it also includes Brembo carbon ceramic brakes and Öhlins double-wishbone suspension. The cabin also looks superb. It’s trimmed in the finest beige leather and includes carbon fiber bucket seats, an Alcantara-wrapped three-spoke Sparco steering wheel, and has loads of exposed carbon fiber. Prospective customers who aren’t a fan of the paint finish or the interior configuration can rest easy knowing that Kimera itself says it’ll happily modify the car to meet the next owner’s wishes.
