Description
The Lancia Aurelia is a car that was produced and sold by the Italian company Lancia from 1950 until the summer of 1958, divided into six series. The versions included a four-door sedan, a two-door convertible (B50/B52), a two-door GT coupe (B20), a two-door spider/convertible (B24), and a rolling chassis for coachbuilders. The Aurelia is known for using one of the first mass-produced V6 engines. Continuing a post-war Lancia tradition, the car was named after a Roman road: the Via Aurelia, which runs from Rome to Pisa. At the rear was an innovative combined transaxle integrating the gearbox, clutch, and differential, and internal drum brakes. The front suspension was a sliding pillar construction, with the semi-trailing arms at the rear being replaced by a De Dion tube in the fourth series. The Aurelia was also the first car to be equipped with radial tires as standard.
