Lancia Fulvia Concept

[Twin Turbo]

....as seen in this months glossies and the Frankfurt show. What a lovely little car. I never thought a FWD, 130bhp motor would ever interest me, but this is a classic piece of Italian chic. If it's priced right (ie < £15k), it should sell like hot-cakes.

Such a pity we'll never see it sold here in Blighty

It's just the sort of car to help get the Fiat empire out of the do-do.

So you're not interested in it then?

Pah! It's no wonder Lancia packed up and left

As mentioned in this months LMC, I'd hang on for the Fanalone/Abarth version if they do one.

Even only weighing 980kg, 130bhp is not a lot. The show car had 103bhp.

It's one of the better re-designs that I've seen.

See, you're not the only one..

Cheers Dan

I also read the concept car was only running 103bhp, but thought that a misprint as it's based on the Barchetta platform (and I assumed it'd run the same engine).

Still a lovely little thing though.

image it in red with an open soundtrack from the tail and some sort of our italian mountain passes under her light magnesium wheels...mmmm....

Anyone heard if they are going to make this yet?

[Twin Turbo]

Not heard anything, but I really hope they do. Still, we won't see it over here even if they do.

Actually you will so long as your willing to personally import the car.

I have done this several times with a number of Lancia's and although it can be a little frustrating on the whole it's a fairly easy process.

I normally import from Italy but this is just as easy from Holland and as long as your prepared to travel which for a car this beautiful and this important I'm sure you will, test drives etc can be arranged.

As soon as the confirmation is given of a production run I will be ordering so please don't be put off by the import route and go with it.....it's the only we will get them back!
