The Lancia Flavia is an elegant sedan dedicated to the upper classes of the Italian company produced in various versions in the factories of the Turin company between 1960 and 1971. It was the first Lancia sedan to be equipped with front-wheel drive and represented an example of innovation and luxury for future generations. One of the innovations, for example, was the provision of 4 disc brakes. The second series, besides being the most complete, was also the most powerful. The top of the range is represented by the rare 2 liter lx (luxury) version with Bosch electronic injection which in 1969-71 reached the enviable power of 126 horses in a time when the competition had about 50 horses / liter.
The 2.0 L models were only made with revised Pininfarina coupé and revised Lancia sedan bodies. Then in 1971, after Fiat took control of the company, the “Flavia” badge was discontinued as were the smaller engines, leaving only the 2000 Berlina and coupé.
