01 / THE STORY

History & context

The Lancia Astura Cabriolet 4-seater by Stabilimenti Farina stands as a testament to the early collaboration between two automotive visionaries: a young Giovanni Michelotti, inspired and guided by the experienced Mario Revelli di Beaumont. This partnership resulted in the creation of a masterpiece that epitomized luxury and sophistication. With only two specimens ever built, this Astura Cabriolet showcased exquisite design elements typical of its era. Adhering to the styling norms of the time, it featured a tilting windshield and an abundance of chrome accents that accentuated its elegance. A prominent emblem adorned the hood, concealing the commanding V8 engine by Lancia, a symbol of power and performance. Adding to its allure, the Lancia Astura Cabriolet Stabilimenti Farina boasted two pairs of headlights, a design choice that enhanced its presence on the road. As one of the luxury flagships crafted by Stabilimenti Farina, it represented the pinnacle of automotive opulence, attracting the admiration of enthusiasts and collectors alike. Beyond its visual appeal, the Lancia Astura Cabriolet Stabilimenti Farina embodied the collaborative spirit and innovative flair of its creators. The fusion of Michelotti’s youthful creativity with Beaumont’s seasoned expertise resulted in a timeless work of art that continues to captivate automotive enthusiasts to this day.
