Espetacular Lancia Aurelia Spider de 1956

The 1956 Lancia Aurelia B24S America Spider is set to go to auction in January. RM Auctions will be selling it off, at an event in Arizona on January 18th, yet if you were thinking of buying it, we have a word of warning: it is extremely expensive, as it is a ‘proper Lancia’ from the good ol’ days.

Expected to get very close to the $1-million mark, this drop top, with its stunning curvaceous body is the stuff of dreams for most motoring enthusiasts, yet very few can actually afford it. It is also a historic model, as it is the first production car ever to use a V6 engine, apparently, and this particular model, the B24S America is one of the most desirable post-war Italian sports cars, and the most desirable Lancia from that period.

It is truly a beautiful car in the full sense of the word, and if you have between $800,000 and $1-million just lying around the house, and you want to invest it in an Italian classic which will only gain value the more you hold onto it, then this is definitely the car for you!

F1: Alonso junta Lancia Thema à sua garagem de luxo

Não valerá tanto como o título mundial mas, pelo menos, ajuda a ultrapassar o momento. Fernando Alonso foi presenteado com um Lancia Thema, também conhecido por Chrysler 300 nos Estados Unidos (e também no Reino Unido e Irlanda), pela sua performance no último Mundial.

Este é mais um exemplar de luxo para a garagem já de si bem recheada do piloto espanhol. Afinal de contas, para quem gosta de automóveis, é difícil imaginar uma melhor coleção do que a de Alonso.

O piloto possui, só de ofertas desde que integrou a Ferrari, um Ferrari FF, um Ferrari 458 Italia, um Maserati GranTurismo e um Fiat Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari. Agora junta-lhe o Lancia Thema. E não esquecer do óbvio: falamos de alguém que tem como profissão...conduzir um Fórmula 1.

O Lancia Thema oferecido a Alonso possuiu um motor V6 de 3.0 litros e 239cv de potência.

Spotted: Lancia Stratos Prototype - PistonHeads

Classic cars, and their values, are all about provenance. Who's owned the car, where it's been driven and whether it's still original all become imperative when contemplating a classic.

With that in mind, how about this for a car of historical significance? The very first Lancia Stratos produced, chassis number 003, used by Lancia as a dealer demonstrator to gauge reception on the project.

It is currently for sale at Joe Macari's and, with the Stratos being a little more special than a regular Spotted, PH got on the phone to secure some more details.

This particular Stratos is a pre-production car, and was built in 1973. It was used by Lancia during that year as a prototype and shown to dealers with the intention of building 500 for world rally homologation. The reception given to the Stratos, as perhaps could be expected, was universally positive, and road car production began in 1974. On the world's rally stages, the Stratos dominated; its compact dimensions and mid-engined layout ensured great agility and it won Lancia three consecutive world championship titles between 1974 and 1976.

he demands of rallying meant that the production Stratos differed fractionally to this prototype. According to Macari's, this car has a slightly deeper front grille which was later made shallower, presumably to avoid damage from errant rocks on special stages. Small idiosyncrasies and detail changes like this are, of course, all part of the development process, but they seem all the more exciting on such an iconic car.

Mechanically, the pre-production Stratos is identical to the customer cars. So the engine is a 2.4-litre V6 from the Ferrari Dino mounted in the middle. Peak power of 190hp is produced at 7,000rpm, whilst three Weber carburettors provide fuel until a cut-out at 7,800rpm.

The gearbox is a five-speed manual, but with some recent modification from Macari's. As a pre-production car, this Stratos was as much about how it looked as how it drove. The original 'box was simply enough to get it about and was fairly obstinate in the best Italian tradition. The linkage has been updated to make it 'usable', which is helpful.

So what does such a stunning piece of automotive history cost? Macari's has it listed at £325,000, which is undoubtedly a huge sum of money. However, with the values of the Stratos' Dino sister-car climbing, Macari's is confident every Stratos is an appreciating asset. Yes, cars that will supposedly rise in value have been flavour of the week at PH these past few days, but can you ever imagine a pre-production Stratos depreciating?

As a final Lancia-related aside, low-mileage and good condition Delta Integrales, Beta Monte Carlos and Aurelias are much in demand. As an indicator of their spiralling values, Macari's sold a 16v Delta Integrale in 2010 that had covered just 100km, and it fetched £45,000. Today, you'll need at least that amount for an Evo 2 with 56,000 kilometres

O Design é exactamente o mesmo. []

Só fazem a supressão de duas portas, alongam um pouco a porta da frente e reduzem o perfil dos pneus.

Resultado:

Realmente... MUITO INTERESSANTE! []
