Lancia Flavia Sport Zagato

Lancia announced its Flavia berlina in 1961, the result of Professor Fessia's engineering which included a Boxer Four aluminium engine of 1488cc, disc brakes on all wheels and front wheel drive. In 1963 the Flavia Sport Zagato was added to the range with a body designed by Ercole Spada . Elio Zagato was briefed to build a car that was lighter and more aerodynamic than the standard Flavia, and it was 100 kilos lighter. Lancia fitted the Flavia Sport with an 1800cc version of the Boxer-4 engine developing 100bhp. The coupe had an opening rear window that was power driven. The Flavia Sport won races and rallies during 1964, 1965 and 1966.
