The Secrets of Lancia Aurelia, Italian POV | Johnny's Garage

During WWII, Lancia was thinking about the new car to substitute Lancia Aprilia.
They developed many different solutions on prototypes, as:
- middle V8 engine
- central drive steering
- V8 frontal engine
- V6 engine with different angles to avoid vibration, between 40° and 80°
In the end, they made a V6 60° frontal engine, transaxle rear gearbox, drum brakes close the differential to central weight, and to lower the not suspended masses of wheels.
All of this developed between 1942 and 1950.  
This car was produced from 1950 in 1958.
