In the modern landscape of boutique automotive ateliers, few marques channel motorsport heritage with the authenticity and engineering conviction of Kimera Automobili.
Founded in Italy and rooted in rally history, Kimera does not build restomods in the conventional sense. Its creations are not nostalgic reinterpretations — they are mechanical evolutions, designed to continue the legacy of one of rallying’s most mythologized eras.
Where others restore the past, Kimera extends it.
The Vision — Motorsport Immortality
Kimera’s founding philosophy is built upon a singular idea:
What if the golden age of rally engineering had never ended?
Rather than freeze iconic machines in time, the company seeks to reimagine them using modern materials, contemporary engineering tolerances, and performance technologies unavailable during their original production cycles.
This approach blends three pillars:
- Motorsport authenticity
- Modern mechanical innovation
- Coachbuilt craftsmanship
The result is a lineage of vehicles that feel historically faithful — yet dynamically contemporary.
Born From Rally DNA
Kimera’s identity is inseparable from Group B and Group A rally heritage — eras defined by extreme engineering, lightweight construction, and mechanical brutality.
The brand draws direct inspiration from one of the most iconic rally platforms ever conceived: the Lancia 037.
But rather than replicate it, Kimera envisioned what the 037 might have become had development continued uninterrupted into the modern era.

EVO37 — The First Evolution
The EVO37 marked Kimera Automobili’s inaugural statement — a radical reengineering of the Lancia 037 concept.
Built around a lightweight chassis architecture, the EVO37 integrates:
- Carbon fiber bodywork
- Titanium and aluminum components
- Reinforced structural engineering
- Supercharged and turbocharged inline-four powertrain
The dual-charged engine configuration delivers explosive response across the rev range — echoing the ferocity of Group B while benefiting from modern reliability.
Production is strictly limited, reinforcing its collector-grade exclusivity.
EVO38 — Rally Evolution Continues
If the EVO37 represents heritage reborn, the EVO38 represents heritage evolved.
Inspired by the never-produced Lancia 038 rally concept — envisioned as a successor to the 037 — the EVO38 explores what that lineage might look like in the modern performance landscape.
Engineering developments include:
- All-wheel-drive architecture
- Advanced aerodynamic sculpting
- Increased structural rigidity
- Track-focused suspension geometry
It transforms the analog brutality of the EVO37 into a more technologically advanced rally weapon — one bridging past imagination with present capability.
K39 — The Next Chapter
With the K39, Kimera signals its future trajectory.
While details remain more conceptual, the model expands beyond reinterpretation into original design territory — applying the brand’s rally-inspired engineering philosophy to a new performance architecture.
The K39 represents evolution without direct historical anchor — proof that Kimera is transitioning from heritage reinterpretation to full marque identity.
Craftsmanship — Built Like Race Cars
Every Kimera vehicle is constructed with motorsport methodology:
- Tubular chassis fabrication
- Composite body integration
- Hand-assembled drivetrains
- Bespoke interior tailoring
Production volumes remain extremely limited, ensuring each vehicle occupies the space between collector artifact and competition machine.
Design Language — Functional Aggression
Kimera’s aesthetic philosophy prioritizes function over ornament.
Design cues include:
- Exposed aerodynamic surfaces
- Wide rally stance
- Minimal overhangs
- Purpose-driven intakes
Every line serves airflow, cooling, or structural necessity — echoing rally engineering’s utilitarian roots.
A New Kind of Automotive Atelier
Unlike traditional manufacturers, Kimera operates more like a motorsport laboratory.
Clients do not simply purchase cars — they commission evolutions of rally history, engineered to contemporary performance standards.
This approach places the brand alongside elite heritage reinterpretation houses — yet uniquely focused on rally rather than road racing lineage.
Rally Immortality Engineered
Kimera Automobili exists in a rare space where motorsport nostalgia meets forward-thinking engineering.
Its vehicles are not replicas, nor restorations — but continuations of an interrupted narrative.
By reengineering rally icons through modern craftsmanship, Kimera ensures the spirit of analog competition remains alive in a digital automotive age.
Where rally once conquered mountains…
Kimera ensures its legend endures on roads.
