First Lancia Delta images

These are the first official pictures of the Lancia Delta, which will go on sale in the UK later this year.

It will be the first time a Lancia has been sold in the UK since 1994.

The car, which will be officially unveiled at the Geneva motor show in March, is based on the current Fiat Bravo, and initial engine choices are expected to range from a 118bhp 1.9-litre diesel to a turbocharged 220bhp 2.0-litre petrol.

Six-speed manual and automatic gearboxes will be offered, as well as Fiat's new dual-clutch semi-automatic transmission.

Although there has been no official confirmation, prices are expected to start at around 14,000.
