  • Lancia Flavia “Red Carpet” Special Edition debuts at Venice Film Festival

    Lancia-Flavia-Red-Carpet-Special-Edition-THUMBDuring the Venice Film Festival the brand Lancia will make a debut of a special edition convertible of its model Flavia. The new car was designed in collaboration with Poltrona Frau, which this year will celebrate its one hundredth anniversary.

    Lancia Flavia “Red Carpet” can be seen on show at the Festival both on the catwalk on the red carpet and inside the Lancia Café area. The vehicle is characterized by its seats and armrests which have been completely covered in red Pelle Frau® Pieno Fiore leather.

    In addition, this “Red Carpet” edition model includes an elegant white livery which further improves the refined passenger compartment. This unique product will bring to the customers Lancia’s stylish design and attention to detail and the elegance of Pelle Frau® leather and the craftsman’s skill of the team at Poltrona Frau.

    All has lead up to the enriched and improved interior of the new model. The combined forces of the two brands ended eventually in a coupe environment which is extremely elegant and emotionally “enveloping”.

    And as we all know, Flavia’s spirit is already free and sophisticated. In particular, it is equipped with the 170 hp (125 kW) 2.4 litre petrol engine mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. This basically means that the new car is the perfect solution for people who would like to benefit from all that a coupe can give without compromising on the unique sensations only a convertible can bring.

    Furthermore, the front wheel drive of this Lancia guarantees an exciting driving experience unparalleled by any other in its segment. Flavia also comes in one exclusive trim level which is “all inclusive”.

    This means that it offers wide range of equipment as standard: from the top quality leather upholstery, electronic stability control (ESC) and electronic traction control, latest-generation ABS and four airbags (front multi-stage and side) to the ISOFIX mountings for transporting children in complete safety, the innovative Uconnect® multimedia system complete with satellite navigation system, and the sophisticated “Boston Acoustic Sound System”.

  • Lancia at Geneva

    Lancia-Flavia-Cabrio-thumbLancia will be bringing a touch of luxury and elegance to the 82nd Geneva Motor Show with six vehicles at their booth. It is a sort of a reincarnation for the company as it has had a glorious history, then a bit of a decline and now it’s back. Highlights deserve the B segment Ypsilon, the flagship Thema, the Voyager MPV and the not yet released Flavia Cabrio.

    Lancia Flavia Cabrio

    Yes, the Geneva Show will be a debut for the production version of the Flavia Cabrio – For now the setup destined for this convertible is a 175 HP 2.4 l unit mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. It will be generously equipped with an electronic stability control system, traction control, ABS (naturally), climate control and much much more in the sole trim package offered, baring the name “all inclusive”. At the show, the Flavia Cabrio segment will be represented by two models: one distinguished by a sophisticated Bright White body with interiors in two-tone black/white fine leather and the other characterized by an exterior Mineral Grey paint with black leather interiors.

    Lancia Thema AWD

    The Thema AWD is basically a Chrysler 300C underneath but is that a bat thing? It has a clever four-wheel drive system and is driven by an aluminum, 286 HP Pentastar V6 3.6 engine. Throw in an 8-speed automatic transmission developed by ZF and you have yourself a perfectly good executive saloon. What image does the Thema radiate? That is pretty much up to the buyer – the car can be customized with several exclusive products, among which are the 18” and 20” rims and three grilles having different colors and treatments.

    Lancia Ypsilon

    A refreshed 2012 Ypsilon will also be present there – we are talking about new equipment and styling enhancements. The now 5th Ypsilon meets the “Blue&Me–TomTom LIVE” and “Smart fuel” system”. Furthermore it has Magic Parking, a 500 W 360° Hi-Fi Music system, Xenon headlights and LED taillights.

    As a car and not a Playstation, the Ypsilon will also feature a range of drivetrains which come with TwinAir technology or MultiJet II and Start & Stop. All very green stuff really.

    The Ypsilon presentation will also foresee the arriving of the Black&Red trim level in all European markets. Again, we have a wide range of drivetrains – a 69 HP 1.2 Fire EVO II, a 85 HP 0.9 TwinAir and a 95 HP 1.3 Multijet II turbodiesel engine. The Black&Red is targeted to the younger generation which will be enchanted by the 360° Hi-Fi Music system, 15″ alloy rims and the tinted windows. Body colors are said to be four but they are frankly shades of black and red while inside we have one choice…. black and red.
