Coches Lancia: libros - historia y técnica

Lancia, audace et élégance (Collection Prestige)

Lancia - 7 extraordinary stories / 7 storie straordinarie

As a prominent expression of the highest Italian automobile traditions, in its over 110 years of history the Lancia brand has had its share of dazzling moments of glory and disastrous falls.
Along with a review of the succession of Lancia models in time, many of which are included with exclusive photographs, this book offers an accurate analysis of all the events related to the brand, dedicating special attention to its most recent racing glory, exclusively commented by the famous sporting director Cesare Fiorio as well as the drivers Sandro Munari and Miki Biasion.

Brought to success by the great Vincenzo Lancia who died at the young age of 55, the Turin company was re-launched after World War II by his son, the engineer Gianni Lancia, with memorable models and victories in some of the world's most important races.
In gratitude, history has unjustly named him responsible for the company's crisis which, however, had other motivations. This is just one of the many novel-like events that dot the history of Lancia, a highly passionate brand, which has always been a topic of discussion.

Lancia Aurelia - Storia, corse e allestimenti speciali

S'il y a une voiture qui, dans les lointaines années 1950, a codifié pour la première fois le concept de la « GT italienne », c'est bien la Lancia Aurelia. Un chef-d'œuvre incontesté et une voiture qui, tout au long des années 1950, a représenté une source d'inspiration fertile pour tous les grands carrossiers italiens, une voiture qui, sur le plan sportif, était un excellent choix pour ceux qui s'attaquaient aux principales courses sur route et sur piste de l'époque, y compris les Mille Miglia.
Tout cela s'articulait autour d'un design mécanique sophistiqué typique de la marque Lancia.

S'appuyant sur de précieux documents d'illustration, pour la plupart inédits, ce livre retrace toute l'histoire technique, stylistique et sportive d'un événement marquant de l'automobile italienne et mondiale.

Lancia Aurelia in Detail - GT, Spyder, Convertible & Saloon

Under the leadership of Vittorio Jano, a former engineer at Alfa Romeo, Lancia, alongside Gianni Lancia and Francesco de Virgilio, introduced the groundbreaking Aurelia in 1950, marking the world's debut of a V6 engine in an automobile. Initially targeted at the discerning Italian bourgeoisie seeking superior alternatives to Fiat, the Aurelia swiftly diversified, notably with the elegant Pinin Farina B20 GT coupé in 1951.

This era ushered in Lancia's illustrious motorsport history, highlighted by triumphs in prestigious events like the Mille Miglia, Targa Florio, Le Mans, Monte Carlo, and Liège-Rome-Liège rallies. Despite the Lancia family's 1956 sale of the company, the Aurelia endured, even expanding to include a spyder variant tailored for the American market. However, it eventually made way for the Flaminia, a grand luxury model that had been foreshadowed by bespoke Aurelia iterations.

In this comprehensive history of the Aurelia range, the author, a trained historian and Aurelia devotee who has owned his B20 coupé for many years, expertly weaves together the many strands of the history of this famous Lancia, ranging from the company history through technical analysis to the successes in competition, as well as the many special-bodied versions, all set against the scene of the some times turbulent Italian post-war years.

Lancia Hyena Zagato : Una Delta all'ennesima potenza / The Ultimate Delta

The Hyena is a beautiful car, but one practically unknown to the general public. A car that could have repeated and even surpassed the commercial and sporting success of the Lancia Delta Integrale from which it was derived.
Unfortunatley just 24 examples were produced due to the debateable decision taken by the Fiat/Lancia directors of the time.

Following a rapid review of the evolution of the Lancia Delta over the year, this book, written by an enthusiastic collector, examines the difficult genesis of the Hyena, from the first steps with the publication of the very first (previously unpublished) sketches and numerous photos and then follows its development, engineering and production through to its presentation at the car shows and in brochures.

The book is completed by a comprehensive technical section, with the project list and the spare parts catalogue as well as an extensive photographic portrait of one particular example, N. 20.
Lastly, all 24 Lancia Hyenas are examined, with the intention of reconstructing their specifications, their destination and the country in which they are jealously conserved by the enthusiast and collectors who possess a precious example.

Lancia Beta Montecarlo - Le vetture che hanno fatto la storia

The Lancia Beta was inaugurated in 1972 with the launch of the saloon. The range was expanded three years later by the addition of the "Beta Montecarlo", a model that soon became part of the Italian motoring history.
Introduced at the 1975 Turin Motor Show, the new coupé immediately attracted public interest and admiration for its authentic sporting character, confirmed by its assertive and fascinating body, designed by Pininfarina, and in its two-litre, 118 hp engine.
It was no coincidence that the newborn enjoyed a busy racing career: the Group 5 turbo version even enabled Lancia to beat Porsche and win the World Championship for Makes in both 1980 and 1981.

This book is entirely devoted to the history of the Beta Montecarlo, covering the technical and stylistic evolution of the various series and, naturally, the coupé's successful motor racing life - a book that just had to become one of the series focusing on cars that have made history.

Lancia Gamma Berlina & Coupé: the Story 1976 -1984

Conçue pour rétablir Lancia en tant qu'acteur dans le segment des voitures de luxe, la Gamma semblait avoir tout pour réussir, avec son ingénierie sophistiquée, ses lignes Pininfarina élégantes et une marque historique avec une longue tradition d'innovation et de triomphes en sport automobile. Pourtant, il a échoué, reprenant une réputation de manque de fiabilité qui persiste sur le modèle à ce jour.

Rarement vue sur les routes européennes, la Gamma a été largement oubliée, même par les historiens de Lancia. Mais ce n'est plus le cas, puisque l'ancien designer automobile Matteo Licata a, pour la première fois, écrit cet hommage approfondi à la Gamma, basé sur des recherches rigoureuses sur des documents d'époque et des entretiens avec d'anciens employés de Lancia.
