This is the Lancia Delta Integrale 16V Martini (night version) #5 Rally Safari 1990 in 1:18 scale by IXO.

The Lancia Delta Integrale 16V Martini, designated as the night version and numbered 5, was expertly piloted by Finnish driver Juha Kankkunen alongside co-driver Juha Piironen in the 1990 Rally Safari. Juha Kankkunen, a seasoned rally veteran known for his calm demeanor and precise driving style, brought his extensive experience to tackle the grueling conditions of the Safari Rally held in Kenya. This event is renowned for its challenging terrain, including rough gravel roads, deep ruts, and the potential for wildlife encounters, all of which test the endurance and skill of both driver and car. The night version of the Lancia Delta Integrale allowed Kankkunen and Piironen to navigate through the Safari's stages under difficult nocturnal conditions, demonstrating their exceptional teamwork and the car's robust performance capabilities. Kankkunen's second-place finish in the 1990 Rally Safari highlighted his prowess and the Delta Integrale's reliability in one of rallying's toughest endurance tests, cementing its legacy as a formidable competitor in diverse racing environments.
