Automobili Amos is the Italian restomod house behind the Lancia Delta Safarista, a rally inspired evolution of its earlier Lancia Delta Futurista built for the thrill of driving rather than the showroom. The Safarista reworks the Delta with new front and rear bumpers, a redesigned wing, custom wheels and a central exhaust, while the cabin is stripped to a two seat, motorsport configuration with a snap off racing steering wheel and competition pedals. Under the skin sit a sequential gearbox, motorsport differentials and an uprated engine, all aimed at one goal: making every drive an event.
What is the Automobili Amos Lancia Delta Safarista?
The Safarista is the second restomod from founder Eugenio Amos, following the celebrated Futurista. Where the Futurista chased coupe elegance, the Safarista leans into rally heritage, echoing the Delta HF Integrale that dominated rough stage events in period. The redesign covers new bumpers, a fresh wing, bespoke wheels and a central exhaust pipe, giving the car a purposeful, dust ready stance.
How is the Safarista different from the Futurista?
This Lancia Delta restomod is built around driver engagement. Inside you find a two seat layout, a motorsport steering wheel with a snap off hub, race pedals and other competition details. Mechanically the Safarista pairs a sequential gearbox with motorsport differentials and an upgraded engine for a meaningful jump in total output. The result is a custom Lancia Delta tuned for feel and feedback rather than lap times alone.
What is the Safarista program?
The Safarista program from Automobili Amos is about creating unforgettable voyages for car enthusiasts. The cars are not display objects but facilitators of shared experiences, a way to explore landscapes that run from frozen Swedish ice rings to the sand dunes of Arabia. The non-competitive format lets owners safely reach the limits of both car and driver, with travel companions and logistics planned in advance so the journey stays free of friction. Independent coverage from Top Gear calls the result rally spec restomod perfection.
The AAmici community
Beyond the cars, Automobili Amos nurtures a community of dedicated enthusiasts known as the AAmici. What started as a joke on Instagram took on a life of its own, bringing together very different people united by an intense love of cars. Through projects like the Safarista program, the brand turns ownership into belonging, involving members in experiences that push the potential of their machines. For more on the model and its limited run, see the official Automobili Amos page.
