01 / THE STORY

History & context

The Lancia Augusta GS Spider (chassis #2528) stands as a timeless automotive masterpiece, embodying the elegance and innovation of the pre-war era. Crafted by the skilled hands of Carrozzeria Ghia, this exquisite automobile made its debut at the prestigious 1935 Turin Auto Salon, captivating enthusiasts with its striking design and unparalleled craftsmanship. Designed by Mario Revelli di Beaumont, the Lancia Augusta GS Spider was unveiled to the world, showcasing a perfect blend of style and performance. The car took center stage at the VII Concorso d’Eleganza di Torino later that same year, where it not only mesmerized onlookers but also secured its place in automotive history by clinching the 1st prize in its class (Category “A” vetture aperte sport a due o più posti con motore di cilindrata fino a 1600 cmc). As a testament to its enduring legacy, chassis #2528 has gracefully withstood the test of time and has undergone a meticulous restoration process. The car now proudly boasts a vibrant red body paint, a departure from its original light blue hue, breathing new life into its classic silhouette. Preserving the spirit of its era, this Lancia Augusta GS Spider stands as a living testament to the convergence of artistry and engineering, encapsulating the essence of a bygone automotive golden age.
