About the Lancia Flavia
The Lancia Flavia was a pioneer of front-wheel drive in Italy, featuring a sophisticated water-cooled flat-four engine and four-wheel disc brakes. The Pininfarina-styled Coupé, introduced in 1962, offered a shorter wheelbase than the Berlina and remains one of the most elegant grand tourers of the era. Its 1.8-litre engine provided a significant performance boost over the original 1.5, delivering a smooth and quiet cruising experience. While complex to maintain, the Flavia is celebrated by collectors for its exceptional build quality and advanced technical specifications that were years ahead of its contemporaries.

Lancia Flavia fun facts
- The Flavia was the first Italian production car to feature front-wheel drive and four-wheel disc brakes as standard.
