1958 Lancia Flaminia Sport (Zagato)

This striking Zagato-bodied Lancia Flaminia Sport features the Milanese styling house's renowned 'double bubble' body form in which low overall lines and a rounded streamlined shape are achieved by the simple but ingenious device of convex head-clearance roof bulges above each seat. Introduced at the 1956 Turin Motor Show and intended as a replacement for the Aurelia, the Flaminia retained the same mechanical layout, though Lancia's traditional 'sliding hub' independent front suspension gave way to a more-modern double wishbone arrangement. Aurelia carry-overs were the 60-degree, 2,458cc, overhead-valve, V6 engine and De Dion rear transaxle with inboard brakes. The Zagato-bodied Sport and Super Sport models shared a shortened wheelbase with the Touring-styled GT/GTL coupés and the convertible, and all featured disc brakes and increased power.
