01 / THE STORY
History & context
The Lancia Aprilia Cabriolet Viotti belongs to the distinctive coachbuilt versions of Lancia’s technically innovative small saloon developed around the end of the 1930s. Carrozzeria Viotti was among the specialists producing bodies for the Aprilia chassis, offering customers open configurations that differed from the standard factory berlina.
The Aprilia, introduced in 1937, combined a narrow-angle V4 engine with advanced chassis engineering for its class. These mechanical foundations also served as the basis for specialist bodies. Historical studies of Viotti’s output indicate that the firm offered several Aprilia body styles, including a number of cabriolet variations. Consequently, the presence of a coachbuilt Aprilia Cabriolet in the archive should not be interpreted as proof of a single one-off car.
This entry preserves the Viotti association and the early Aprilia programme chronology. Body details varied across versions, and information for a specific chassis, year or surviving example must be checked individually. No exact production quantity or exclusive attribution to one cabriolet subtype is asserted without direct supporting evidence.
