Lancia’s Glitzy Ypsilon Promotional Videos


Lancia has released new videos of its 2012 Ypsilon, the posh supermini that made its world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this week alongside the subtly revised Delta and the Chrysler-sourced Thema sedan, Grand Voyager MPV, and Fulvia Saloon and Convertible (the last two shown as concepts).

The videos clearly link the new Ypsilon to fashion and luxury, essentially building on the image created by the supermini’s predecessors. Although the outgoing Ypsilon was perceived more of a lady’s car, the automaker wants to send the message that its successor targets both hairdressers male and female buyers.

VIDEO: Eminem Meets Italian Opera at Lancia's Presentations of the 2012 Thema and Flavia Concepts


The 81st Geneva International Salon marked Lancia's biggest but also, most controversial motor show appearance in recent years. Biggest because Lancia rolled out a total of six new vehicles and concept models, most controversial because four of those cars including the Thema flagship, the Flavia sedan and convertible concepts, and the Grand Voyager MPV are nothing more than rebadged Chryslers.

Lancia and Chrysler CEO Oliver Francois presented the Chrysler 300-based Thema under the sounds of an odd music mix. "Introducing this car of two continents in Geneva became a very personal affair, therefore I personally worked out a little piece of music, a blend of two musical cultures, Eminem's typical Detroit beat with a touch of Italian opera," said Francois just before the 2012 Thema saloon entered the stage.

Classic Flashback: The Ferrari-Powered 1986 Lancia Thema 8.32


All the talk about the Fiat Group's plans to re-badge the redesigned 2011 Chrysler 300 (see our high-res gallery here) and re-brand it as the Lancia Thema in Europe, brought to mind the original Thema of the mid-1980s and -1990s, and especially, the Ferrari V8-powered 8.32 model.

Introduced at the 1984 Turin Motor Show, the Thema was Lancia's flagship sedan, sharing the "Type Four" platform with the Fiat Croma, Alfa Romeo 164 and the Saab 9000.

Shaped by the hands of Giorgetto Giugiaro, the boxy sedan model featured a 0.32 drag coefficient, which was an impressive figure at the time. Being a luxury model, it featured a comprehensive list of standard and optional features, including automatic air conditioning and heated seats wrapped in leather or Alcantara.

New Lancia Stratos: Full Tech Specs and Performance Figures Plus Presentation Video


The PR people behind the New Stratos project continue to slowly reveal additional information about Pininfarina's one-off supercar. This time they released the full tech specs and performance figures.

Based on Ferrari F430 Scuderia underpinnings, the retrotastic Stratos packs a considerable punch. It measures 4.1 meters in length and tips the scales at just 1.247 kg (2.749 pounds) with the weight distributed 44% in the front and 56% at the rear. Power-to-weight ratio is 2.3 kg/hp, thanks to the 4.3-liter V8 engine, which churns out 540 hp and over 500 Nm (369 lb-ft) of torque. That’s 30 ponies more than the Scuderia’s stock powerplant.

After Pininfarina presented the New Stratos to the car's owner Michael Stoschek, the Italian design house invited Ferrari head-honcho Luca di Montezemelo to take it for a spin around the Fiorano circuit in Maranello.

And that's not all, as the Ferrari CEO called his technical director, Roberto Fedeli, and suggested he should also take a look at the car.

1970 Lancia Stratos Zero: Birth of a legend [Photos & Video]


The Lancia Stratos is a rally legend and one of the most iconic sports cars of all time with legions of fans. One of those fans, German businessman Michael Stoschek, even went as far as commissioning Pininfarina to build a one-off modern-day iteration of the Stratos based on the hardware of a Ferrari 430 Scuderia.

But not many people know that the first spark that ignited this firestorm was a Bertone concept. Enter the 1970s Stratos Zero prototype. It all started when Bertone had the idea to mount the Fulvia's 1.6-liter V4 engine on a new base. This is how the Stratos Zero concept car was born, a 3.58 meter (141 inches) long and just 84 cm (33 inches) tall prototype envisioned by Marcello Gandini, the same man responsible for the designs of the Lamborghini Countach and Miura.

DIY Video: How to Scrap a Lancia Delta


Agreed; the previous -second- generation of the Lancia Delta wasn't anything special (not that we care about any first-gen Delta other than the Integrale models), but to destroy any car all in the name of a Youtube video, just doesn't seem right any way you hummer-sledge it.

Geneva Video: 2009 Lancia Delta Presentation

Automakers have a tendency to create “mini Broadway shows” when presenting new cars to the members of the press. Lancia on its behalf, unveiled the all-new Delta under the sounds of an… opera band at the Geneva Auto Show. Leaving the presentation aside, the new Delta hatchback can be equipped with diesel and petrol turbo engines, with power outputs from 120 to 200 HP, and manual, robotised or automatic gearboxes. Sales of the new Delta will start in Europe this summer. –Video after the jump

Mama Mia... Carla Bruni in 2008 Lancia Musa TV Spot

Who are we kidding here; we don’t give a rat’s merde for the recently facelifted Lancia Musa. The only reason that we posted this video is because it stars former Italian supermodel, Carla Bruni who by the way, is currently dating French President, Nicolas Sarkozy. Even though Carla is 41-years-old, we’d let this femme-fatale burn our motor anytime, anywhere... -Follow the jump for the video and image gallery



2008 Lancia Delta HPE - Factory Scoop Video

A Fiat employee managed to take a short video clip of the upcoming Lancia Delta HPE’s body shell that was located somewhere in the Italian carmaker’s factory. From the looks of it, Lancia won’t stray too far away from the original concept that was previewed at the 2006 Paris Motorshow. The production version of the Delta HPE will make its official premier at the upcoming Geneva Show in March, with sales starting in Europe this summer. -Video after the jump

Video: Lancia Delta S4 Group B Rally Car


The Lancia Delta S4 was one of the most bad-ass cars that ever appeared in the history of rallying. It competed in the short lived Group B category of the World Rally Championship in 1985 and 1986. Despite its name and resemblance with Lancia’s hatch, the S4 shared nothing in terms of construction with the production front-engine Delta. The all-wheel drive S4 featured a mid-mounted 1.8-litre 4-cylinder engine that utilized a supercharger and a turbocharger producing 550 HP (unofficially, more than 600 HP).

Lancia Delta S4 Group B In An Indoor Go-Kart Track!


WTF; a 500Hp+ Group B rally car in an indoor (!) go-kart track? And if you thought that’s insane, check out the cars parked inside the tire barriers, heck, there’s even a damn Lamborghini Countach in there! What a car though, and what a sound it makes indoors. Pure ecstasy. Via: Diariomotor
