01 / THE STORY

History & context

The Lancia Astura Coupé Victoria Pininfarina is a one-off masterpiece that showcases the extraordinary craftsmanship and vision of Pininfarina. Built in 1935 on the third series of the Lancia Astura chassis, this bespoke vehicle is a rare gem in automotive history. The Astura was already known for its technical innovation, but when paired with the design genius of Pinin Farina, it was transformed into something truly exceptional. The car’s stunning bodywork, crafted by Pinin Farina, features smooth, flowing lines that define the elegance of the period while hinting at the future direction of automotive design. The unique coupé design, with its gracefully curved roofline and elegantly proportioned silhouette, makes it one of the most visually striking cars of its time. Every detail, from the sweeping fenders to the carefully sculpted rear, was meticulously designed to create a harmonious and sophisticated whole. The Lancia Astura itself was renowned for its engineering, with the third series featuring an improved V8 engine that provided smooth power delivery and exceptional performance. When combined with Pinin Farina’s bespoke body, the result was a car that not only looked incredible but also offered a refined and enjoyable driving experience. As a one-off model, the Lancia Astura Victoria Pininfarina is a true collector’s item. Its rarity and historical significance make it a symbol of automotive artistry and a tribute to the collaboration between Lancia and Pinin Farina. This car represents a time when luxury, engineering, and design came together to create a work of art that transcends generations, continuing to captivate car enthusiasts and collectors to this day.

Production notes
Legacy listing 53626 is retained only as a non-additive mixed-media Astura/Pininfarina page. Archive-backed chronology identifies a Pinin Farina Astura Roadster in 1935, while the documented Victoria is a 1933 Dilambda; therefore 'Coupé Victoria', 1935 as an exact vehicle year/body identity, one-off status, chassis, designer and event genealogy are not canonical here. Preserve the legacy URL without creating a distinct physical vehicle.
