Lancia Flaminia Sport Zagato series 2, 1963 information

The very beautiful Lancia Flaminia series was build between 1957 and 1970. The Lancia Flaminia berlina as introduced first and was followed by a few extraordinary good looking coupe, convertible and sports models which were designed by Touring, Pininfarina and Zagato.
Top off the bill in the Lancia Flaminia series is the Flaminia Super Sport Zagato. Only 150 cars of this type have been built which makes this automobile very exclusive and scarce.

The Flaminia series was at first equipped with a 2500 cc. V6 engine fitted with one double choked Weber carburettor. Shortly thereafter the Flaminia models were fitted with uprated 2800 cc. engines and the most powerful versions were fitted with three double choked Webers. (3C in the Super Sport Zagato).
The Flaminia Supersport Zagato was built with a aluminium unitary bodywork construction and the car featured the same technical specialties as the other Flaminia models. The cars featured a "de Dion" rear axle, overhead camshafts, disc brakes all round and a gearbox mounted to the rear axle (Transaxle).
The expensive Transaxle construction made it possible to obtain an ideal weight distribution between the front and rear axles resulting in superb roadholding.

Next to the Lancia Flavia the Lancia Flaminia series should generate good sales figures for Lancia to improve the financial position of the firm. The Flaminia contained very much state-of-the-art techniques and was very complicated to build. This made that the Flaminia series was very expensive and not many cars were sold. The Flaminia Super Sport Zagato was even more expensive, only the very rich enthusiast could afford to buy this jewel.
Today the Flaminia Super Sport Zagato is a much sought after classic sports car, master piece in every Lancia collection. The car looks superb, drives superb and it is very rare.
