In 1982 Lancia developed the LC1 as a Group 6 car for the World Sportscar Championship. It used a tiny 1.4-litre Lancia engine and could only cope with much larger-engined competition by having very lightweight chassis construction. It followed the Beta Montecarlo Group 5 car and shared its basic drive train, but had an evocative shape that was only enhanced by the Martini & Rossi livery.

Astura is a river south of Rome where the last battle happened between the Romans and Latins. It was later occupied by Roman aristocracy, the type that would fancy the best things that Italian life had to offer.

Carrozzeria Touring was responsible for the GT versions of Lancia's flagship Flaminia. It had the underpinnings of the production Flaminia with a coachbuilt aluminum body that was built to high standards. Touring built the GT Coupe, GTL 2+2 and a Convertible with optional hardtop.

Lancia gave its chief designer, Vittorio Jano, a clean sheet of paper when it replaced the Aprilia which had been the company's mainstay since 1937. Jano, the man responsible for most pre-war Alfa Romeos, worked with a brilliant young engineer named Francesco de Virgilio. The result of their partnership, the Aurelia, was one of those rare cars which owed nothing to its predecessor.

Following a promising year with the LC1 Group 6 prototype, Lancia ramped up the project 1983 with the LC2. It was the first and only Italian car built to Group C regulations. Throughout three years of racing, reliability plagued the Lancia Martini team which was one of the few willing to take on the dominant Porsche 956s.

One of Lancia's most successful products was the Delta. It was produced from 1979 to 1994 for many different road and track applications. The car debuted at the Frankfurt motor show as a Giorgio Guigaro design based on Fiat Ritmo components. Surprisingly, this Delta would lead Lancia into its mos...

Lancia is one of the very few motor manufacturers than can boast customers who are demanding aficionados of the brand and lovers of beauty yet also great connoisseurs of the most sophisticated technology. A leitmotif links all Lancia cars: a continuous quest for innovation linked to the most exclusive Italian craftsmanship. This driving force is essential not only to the spirit of Lancia but also ...

A new relationship is developing which may shape Lancia's of the future. Two companies, Carcerano and Maggio, have devleoped a new model that would fit nicely in the Lancia lineup. Carcerano is responsible for style, design engineering of this project while Maggiora manage product engineering, process engineering and prototype production.

The Thesis is Lancia's own inimitable interpretation of the big prestige saloon theme. The Lancia Thesis features clean, uncluttered form. The side line starts from the front wing and runs unbroken along the car's waistline from headlamp to tail-light. It helps reinforce the limousine effect by lengthening the car.

Built from scratch to contest World Rally, the Stratos was the first of its kind. It practically changed the sport, and started a new era in rally when manufacturers created thinly disguised race cars to homologate as production cars.

Built & Designed by Italdesign.

The Lambda was one of the most innovative cars of the twenties with its chassis, independant suspension and compact engine. It was the first to feature a load-bearing monocoque body which adopted by almost every manufacturer thirty years later. Vincenzo Lancia personally envisioned the Lambda after considering ship design and the strength that a hull needs to battle the great seas.

In compliance with the FIA Group B regulations, Lancia released the 037. It was the 37th project number which was developed closely with Abarth. Although a large car, it won the Manufacturers' World Championship in 1983.
