  • Lancia Ypsilon ELLE is Part of Artissima 2014

    Lancia-Ypsilon-ELLE-THUMBLancia Ypsilon ELLE is partnering with the “Artissima” International Contemporary Art Event, which will take place in Turin from 7th to 9th of November. The exhibition incorporates 194 galleries, in which in display will be artists from 34 different countries, 9 of which are new additions with respect to the Fair’s last edition. For the “Artissima 2014”, Lancia is providing the organizers with a fleet of cars for an exclusive ‘VIP Courtesy Car’ service.

    An example of the new Ypsilon ELLE will also be present. The car was recently unveiled at the Paris Motor Show and marks the collaborations between the company and Elle magazine. Precisely, the new “ELLE” edition is made with new paints, materials and exclusive finishes. It sits atop of the model range and also represents Lancia’s design philosophy.

    The company has entered three new colors created to the range. This is an example of the refined lines and the distinctive personality of the Ypsilon. In particular, this car can be covered with a Glam Powder Pink paint, which was created by Centro Stile Lancia exclusively for the model. The second one is the Glacè White and the third is a two-tone combination, in which Glam Powder Pink is sharply contrasts the Vulcano Black roof.

    This is further strengthened by the dark chrome finishes on the grille, fog light frame and handles and body-coloured mirrors. Ypsilon ELLE runs on 15″ diamond-finish or 16″ Powder Pink diamond-finish alloy wheels, and it stands on the pillars are the “ELLE” logo in dark chrome and the exclusive Houndstooth graphics.

    The same glamorous touch can be also seen applied inside the car. A specific has been used for the seats with cushion and backrest in black Alcantara with electro-welded ELLE graphics and Powder Pink leather bands with black stitching. The same leather can be also seen on the door panels, the dashboard fascia and the mat edges.

    In addition, black leather with Powder Pink stitching covers the steering wheel and gear knob. The front Alcantara headrests were adorned by the ELLE logo and the Glam Powder Pink key cover also features this logo.

  • 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 Diamond

    Lancia is presenting the Ypsilon Diamond show-car at this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show. This precious “cut” of Lancia’s little jewel represents the ultimate in luxury, typified by prestigious interior materials and a refined body finish created by a unique paint treatment and finish. The Diamond is no mere exercise in styling but a genuine experiment by Lancia to identify luxury content for a possible production model.

    The Diamond’s colour scheme features Lancia’s new “eco-chrome” finish, which achieves a chrome effect by means of a special paint rather than by conventional chrome plating. Tinged with a warm, “white gold” nuance, this unique new eco-chrome finish has been applied to various parts of the body, including the sun roof, mirror covers, grille, headlight surrounds, pillar and tailgate logos, door handles, bonnet, spoiler, exhaust terminal and alloy wheels. The rest of the body is finished in an elegant soft-touch effect colour called “Chiffon White”.

    The team at the Lancia Style Centre has paid special attention to the Ypsilon Diamond’s refined colour scheme. After all, colour has never been simply a matter of aesthetics for the Ypsilon. On the contrary, it is an integral part of a product philosophy based on elegance, glamour, personality, play, creativity, style and the widest array of customisation options.

    Lancia Ypsilon Diamond
    Lancia Ypsilon Diamond

    The Ypsilon Diamond’s fascinating and original exterior finish is backed up by an interior that achieves a perfect blend of elegance and refinement. The upholstery is characterised by Lancia’s trademark attention to detail and by the use of superior quality materials, from luxurious, bronze-black galuchat hide on the central sections of the seats and on the head rests with the Ypsilon logo, to glittering, soft, embossed nabuk hide on the seat sides, dashboard and door panels.

    This two-tone theme extends to the rest of the interior too. The roof is covered in a light Alcantara fabric that matches the paint finish of the door pillars and sun visors, while the bottom section of the dashboard is finished in a contrasting dark shade. The steering wheel, instrument cowl, and handbrake and gear lever boots are in sumptuous black leather. The connotation of sartorial craftsmanship is reinforced by double stitching and embroidering in both contrasting and matching colours.

    Finally, in perfect harmony with the outside of the car, the special eco-chrome finish reoccurs inside on the air vent surrounds, glove compartment handle, door handles, steering wheel spokes and gear lever surround. The gear lever is made even more exclusive by a crystal effect, methacrylate gear lever knob made to look like a gem stone, reminding occupants of the name of this Lancia show-car.
