The Secrets of Lancia Aurelia, Italian POV | Johnny's Garage
During WWII, Lancia was thinking about the new car to substitute Lancia Aprilia.
They developed many different solutions on prototypes, as:
- middle V8 engine
- central drive steering
- V8 frontal engine
- V6 engine with different angles to avoid vibration, between 40° and 80°
In the end, they made a V6 60° frontal engine, transaxle rear gearbox, drum brakes close the differential to central weight, and to lower the not suspended masses of wheels.
