Lancia Aprilia Bertone

What do you do when you grow up the youngest in a family of five and have a very reputable family name in the soup industry? Exactly, you give up the soup chicken and become a superintendent and test driver for Fiat! Later, something wonderful came out of it

Namely; La Lancia. A brand that Vincenzo Lancia created with full passion and heart for engineers. Progressive cars that were way ahead of their time. Like the Lancia Aprilia Bertone. A pre-war car from 1937 (!) with a monocoque, fully independent suspension all around, hydraulic brakes and an aluminum V4 engine. If that doesn't make your enthusiastic heart beat faster, then Tesla is for you!

The collaboration with Aprilia was simple: Vincenzo wanted a car made for the public with a few requirements; weight under 900 kilos, five seats and a minimum speed of 130 kilometers per hour on the autostrada. Everything came out as planned, except the first one for this particular model.

In collaboration with Bertone, Vincenzo created the Lancia Aprilia Mk I Bertone trasformabile. A concept of which only one remained, so for very special audience. Found by us in a collection, in original livery and with her original engine. She has been sleeping for a few years, so needs some love again to treat you to some very special topless mileage. A presto!
