In the year 1963 Lancia presented the Fulvia saloon model. Two years later, in the year 1965, they introduced the Fulvia coupe. The Fulvia coupe has a very characteristic design, created by Lancia's own design studio. The Fulvia coupe is a real compact sports coupe as only the Italians are able to create. Characteristics are the short wheelbase, the low weight, the compact dimensions, aluminium engine construction and great roadholding capabilities.
