Lancia Delta Hard Black Edition

European customers looking for a more elegant, subtle premium hatchback have a new option on their hands: the Lancia Delta Hard Black. Based on the Delta, the Hard Black edition features matte black paint and a black interior done up in leather and Alcantara micro-suede. Chrome trim offsets the decidedly un-glossy paint scheme, while the 18-inch alloys can be had in black or silver finish to the buyer's taste.

The Hard Black edition Delta also comes with a host of optional equipment as standard, and with either a 200-horsepower, 1.8-liter, direct-injection turbo gasoline engine or a 190-horsepower, 1.8-liter turbo diesel. Prices start at 31,300 euros, or about $40k in American greenbacks. Though for the time being Lancia doesn't market in North America, its partnership with Chrysler could bring the Delta to American shores in the near future.
