Description
As the first Lancia to be completely redesigned after the Second World War, the Aurelia had to be something entirely new - and it certainly was. Starting with the beautifully designed B10 in 1950 and ending with the stylish and refined B24 convertible in 1958, the most striking aspect of the new Aurelia was the introduction of the first V6 engine in series production. Lancia engineers continued to constantly improve the formula, with a new Aurelia variant almost every year and continuous improvements on each subsequent model. Generally speaking, every successive version of the Aurelia produced over the more than eight years offered more performance and sportier styling than the previous one. The fourth series Aurelia, introduced in 1954, underwent a more thorough restyling than the preceding years and also introduced the production of left-hand drive cars; from 1954 through 1958, all left-hand drive examples were designated with "S" (for sinistra), an attempt to clearly indicate their export specification.
