You're right! If you can tell me which coachbuilder built it, I'll award you with a well-deserved point :)

There you go!

The Hyena was never built by Lancia, but by Zagato. It was seriously considered by Lancia, but in the end Zagato ended up building a few of them. The car was very good (it should be, with engine and chassis from the Delta Integrale) but what eventually killed it, ironically, was Lancia themselves - after a while they refused to sell Zagato any more engines, which meant the only other solution was to start chopping up perfectly good Integrales just for the engine. Which is not a very profitable way of making cars. A shame, really.
