For a totally new model with transversal engine and front wheel drive, Ford choosed to keep a famous name identified with rear wheel drive and big success in racing/rallying scene.

As Giugiaro conceived it, Delta was ment the first car with a longitudinally sliding rear bench. Deprived of this feature for production, spacious cabin won over a limited trunk.

Born as Chrysler Simca Horizon and later known as Talbot Horizon, this was the last new model from the French manufacturer under Chrysler group’s control before PSA’s takeover.
