The Lancia Astura Viotti (1937) was coachbuilt by Viotti and designed by Mario Revelli di Beaumont. The Astura model was developed in the interwar period, during which Lancia sought to produce a sophisticated vehicle that combined performance with refined styling. The coachbuilding process involved a collaboration between Viotti and Lancia, focusing on the integration of innovative design elements and quality craftsmanship, with attention to proportions that complemented the vehicle’s aerodynamic profile. The construction methods employed by Viotti were characterized by traditional techniques, including hand-formed metalwork and bespoke interior fittings. In terms of stylistic context, the Astura Viotti featured flowing lines and a streamlined design that reflected the era’s fascination with modernity. Mechanically, the Lancia Astura was powered by a V8 engine, providing a balance of power and smooth operation. The chassis was designed to accommodate a range of body styles, enhancing the model’s versatility.
