The Lancia Y or later Lancia Ypsilon is a supermini produced by Italian automaker Lancia since 1996. It is the replacement of the Y10, although larger and more expensive.

First generation "Y" (1996-2003)

Height

The first Ypsilon was based on and shared its underpinnings with the first generation of the Fiat Punto. However, unlike its more pedestrian counterpart, the Ypsilon was available only with a three-door hatchback body. It was available only with petrol engines from 1.1 to 1.4 litres. The 1.4 top model was an old 12-valve unit, and was eventually replaced with a 16-valve 1.2-litre, smaller but more powerful, with 63 kW (86 PS). The first generation Y got mild facelift in October 2000.

Engines

  • 1.1 8v 55 PS (54 hp/40 kW)
  • 1.2 8v 60 PS (59 hp/44 kW)
  • 1.2 16v 86 PS (85 hp/63 kW)

An all-new version was launched in 2003, still only with a three-door body, and now based on the second Fiat Punto. The Ypsilon is Lancia's best-selling model, in spite of the fact Fiat Auto is trying to market the Lancia brand as luxury. The engine range goes from 1.2 to 1.4-litre petrols alongside the 1.3 MultiJet Diesel, with power going from 44 kW (60 PS) to 70 kW (95 PS). The second generation has increased interior room and more equipment, including standard ABS, air conditioning and optional CD player, cruise control, alloy wheels and a sequential manual gearbox. A five-door mini MPV version of the Ypsilon is sold as the Musa.

Facelift

In October 2006, the Ypsilon was facelifted with slightly modified bumpers, lights and interiors. It also features new body colours and innovative equipment, such as the Blue&Me (Bluetooth connection and USB port).

Lancia Aurelia

Lancia Appia was a car introduced in 1953 as a replacement for the Ardea and in production for 10 years. The Appia was the last in a long line of Lancia production cars dating back to the Lancia Lambda (introduced in 1922) to use the famous sliding pillar front suspension. All three series produced had a V4 engine of 1089 cc, which gave the car good performance.

In addition to the saloons, a number of special bodied Appias were produced, including a Coupe, by Pininfarina, a convertible by Vignale and an aluminium bodied GT by Zagato.

The Appia was renowned for its high quality and simple engineering refinement, which helped it gain a deserved reputation for reliability and longevity.

Often overlooked by classic car enthusiasts (and the press) in favour of its more prestigious stable mates the Aurelia and Flaminia, those who own and run these cars know that they are equally deserving of recognition and preservation.

Three series of Appia was built:

  • 1st series, produced between 1953 and 1956. Only sedan (Berlina] body style built, similar style to the Aurelia.
  • 2nd series, produced between 1956 and 1959. Longer wheelbase, different boot and higher engine power.

More sportier 2-door version was also available.

  • 3rd series, produced between 1959 and 1963. New front end with new new horizontal grille and lower bonnet line and more engine power.

Approximately 98,000 Appias were built as Berlinas, 3,900 as commercial vehicles and 5,200 supplied to coachbuilders.

Engines

The Appia has V4-engine with 10,2° valve angle and one cylinderhead for both cylinder blocks.

C10

Sedan-version C10 was introduced in April 1953 at the Turin Motor Show. The body style was similar to the sister model Aurelia. At the Geneva Motor Show in March 1956 the second series was introduced with 3 centimetres (1.2 in) longer wheelbase and a modernized body. In March 1959 the third series was introduced at the Geneva Motor Show with new front end, inspired by the Flaminia. Between 1960 and 1962 a three door estate version was built by Viotto, it was called as Giardinetta.

Commercial variants

Lancia Appia ambulance version.

Lancia also built light commercial bodies on the Appia chassis: the Furgoncino (Van), Camioncino (pick-up) and an ambulance version the Autolettiga.

Coupé

Pininfarina built a coupé version between 1957 and 1963.

Cabriolet/Berlina Lusso

Vignale built a cabriolet version between 1957 and 1963. Between 1959 and 1961 the Berlina Lusso was also available with styling cues from the cabriolet.

GT/GTS/GTE

Lancia Appia GTE (Zagato).


Zagato built many coupé versions based on the Berlina between 1957 and 1962.

  • GT same engine as Pininfarina and Vignales models.
  • GTS more powerful engine, 2-door version
  • GTE had modified body

Sport

Lancia Appia Sport (Zagato).

Zagato built around 750 cars on the Appia chassis.

Performance

An S1 Berlina saloon tested by the British The Motor magazine in 1954 had a top speed of 76.1 mph (122.5 km/h) and could accelerate from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 32.5 seconds. A fuel consumption of 29.0 miles per imperial gallon (9.74 L/100 km/24.1 mpg US) was recorded. The car was not at the time available on the UK market but an Italian price of 1,328,600 Lire was reported (converted to £780). [1]

The Lancia Ardea was a small sedan produced by the Turin firm between 1939 and 1953. Its unusually short bonnet/hood reportedly contained the smallest V4 engine ever commercilised.

Nearly 23,000 of the Ardeas produced were standard bodied sedans but between 1940 and 1942 approximately 500 Ardeas were manufactured with lengthened bodies and a squared off rear cabin for use in Rome as taxis. After the war more than 8,500 commercial adaptations of the Ardea known as 'furgoncini' (light van versions) and the 'camioncini' (car based light trucks) were also produced.

The third series Ardea, produced from 1948, was the first mass-produced car with a 5-speed manual transmission.[2]

A cabriolet version of Ardea.

Instrumentation included a centrally mounted speedometer, the fuel level and the oil pressure. A third dial directly below the driver's sight line was a clock, unusually on this size of car. The three floor pedals followed the pattern still 'conventional' for a manual transmission car (clutch, brake, gas) but to the left of the clutch pedal was a small foot operated dipper switch for the headlights. Control knobs lined up along the base of the fascia included a hand throttle.

Early Italian images of Ardea interiors confirm that Lancias of the period were still right hand drive, a position elsewhere taken to imply driving on the left side of the road. However, right-hand drive is practical even where drivers drive on the right-hand side of the road as it allows a better view of the edge of the road, which is useful when driving on rough roads in mountainous districts. This did mean that drivers of cars with centrally located floor mounted gear shifts, such as the Ardea, needed to learn how to shift with the left hand. During the 1920s Mussolini required all Italian drivers to drive on the right, but Lancia would continue, through the 1950s, to supply right hand drive cars in areas viewed by other automakers as left hand drive markets.

Four versions of the Ardea were built:

  • 1st series, produced between 1939 and 1941, 2,992 built.
  • 2nd series, produced between 1941 and 1948, 4,438 built. 12 Volt electric system introduced.
  • 3rd series, produced between 1948 and 1949, 3,600 built. 5-speed gearbox introduced.
  • 4th series, produced between 1949 and 1953, 11,700 built. New cylinderhead, aluminium, higher compression ratio, more power: 30 bhp.
