The year 1960 saw the introduction of a new leaf in the Lancia tree; the Lancia Flavia. For the Flavia Lancia saw a position between the smaller Lancia Appia series and the larger Lancia Flaminia series. The birth of the Lancia Flavia introduced front wheel driven cars to the Lancia stable. By choosing the front wheel drive concept Lancia was able to build the Flavia less complex than the other model series like the Flaminia.
Innovative,
complex, state-of-the-art constructions used by Lancia since 1922 made
the cars very expensive. Now was the time to make an excellent car but
also to get a grip on the costs to introduce the Flavia for a
competitive price. 4 cylinder
