01 / THE STORY
History & context
The Lancia Aprilia Coupé (1939) was coachbuilt by Stabilimenti Farina. This model emerged during a period of significant automotive innovation, reflecting the stylistic and technical advancements of late 1930s Italy. The design process involved meticulous attention to proportions and construction methods, showcasing the art of Italian coachbuilding. The Aprilia Coupé featured a streamlined body with elegant lines that enhanced its aerodynamic performance, a hallmark of Farina’s design ethos. Mechanically, the Lancia Aprilia was noted for its advanced engineering, including an independent front suspension and a streamlined chassis that contributed to its overall handling and ride comfort. The car was powered by a 4L inline-four engine, which provided adequate performance for its class. The chassis was designed to accommodate the distinct bodywork crafted by Stabilimenti Farina, ensuring a seamless integration of design and function. Documentation indicates that the production of the Aprilia Coupé was limited, with only a select number of units constructed. Surviving examples are recorded in private collections and institutional archives, providing reference for researchers of postwar coachbuilding.
