Lancia Fulvia Coupé & HF – Le Guide ASI

Product description

The Fulvia Coupé was one of the most iconic models of the Lancia brand but also loved for its younger, sportier and more dynamic image compared to the contemporary sedans (from which it itself derives), while retaining intact its qualities of class, elegance and distinction proverbial of the company of Borgo San Paolo.

Designed by Piero Castagnero, taking inspiration from the Riva motorboats, at its presentation it made an impression on the hearts of young driving enthusiasts and ladies of the upper middle class but, above all, with the fast and light HF, it would enter the legend by winning the most important rallies in the world – above all that of Monte Carlo 1972 with the unforgettable Munari/Mannucci duo – bringing Lancia back to the Olympus of the most competitive racing car manufacturers and preparing the field for an epic that would inflame the hearts of sportsmen with models such as Stratos, 037, S4 and Delta Integrale.

Today the Fulvia Coupé, available in three series and with three different engines – 1.2, 1.3 or 1.6 – is instead among the favorites of rally and regularity enthusiasts, for its reliability, road holding and brilliance. That’s why we couldn’t help but include it in this series dedicated to the most iconic models in history.
