Own every Lancia.
Vincenzo Lancia was a former Fiat works driver who founded his brand in Turin in 1906. Lancia became known for its innovative engineering. It dominated rallying in the 1970s and 1980s. Fiat bought it in 1969 and made it one of its marques in northern Italy.
The start of their anecdote. The album's other cards are for you to discover in the game.
Lancia
1953–1963 · V4
The Via Appia lent it its name, and the Appia was the last of a line of Lancias going back to the 1922 Lambda: V4 engine, sliding pillar front suspension, rear-wheel drive and no centre pillar. To save weight, the first few thousand had aluminium doors and rear wings.

Lancia
1937–1949 · V4
The Aprilia was Vincenzo Lancia's last design: production began in February 1937, the month he died. It was one of the first cars designed in a wind tunnel, with Battista Farina and the Polytechnic University of Turin, and reached a record low drag coefficient of 0.47. Its four doors had no central pillar.

Lancia
1939–1953 · V4
Under the Ardea's unusually short bonnet sat what was reportedly the smallest V4 ever sold in a small family car, just 903 cc. Its name came either from the town of Ardea near Rome or the Via Ardeatina leading to it. The third series of 1948 was the first mass-produced car with a five-speed manual gearbox.
