Lancia was founded in 1906 by Vincenzo Lancia, and from the beginning, the vehicles they produced showed creativity, independent thought, and defiance of convention. After World War II, production resumed with the Aprilia and its smaller sibling, the Ardea. These were followed by the Aurelia, the first car ever to employ a V6 engine.

View info and historyThe Lancia Aurelia was introduced at the Turin Motor Show in 1950 and served as a replacement for the Lancia Aurelia. The first series was known as the Aurelia B10 Berlina, fitted with a 1,574cc engine. This was soon followed by the B21 four-door saloon equipped with a 1,991cc V-6 engine. In 1951, the two-door B20 GT coupe was announced, with a design by Boano from Ghia and produced by Pinin Farina. This sport coupe rested on a shortened wheelbase and came with a tuned version of the B21 engine. This was followed by a second series that brought with it an improved instrument panel and an increase in power to 80 horsepower. A race-developed B20 driven by Giovanni Bracco finished 2nd in the 1951 Mille Miglia, beaten only by Luigi Villoresi's 4.1-liter works Ferrari. Sharing driving duties with Umberto Maglioli, Bracco won the Targa Florio for Lancia in 1952 and 1954. Another B20 won the Monte Carlo Rally while being piloted by Louis Chiron. The factory offered the B52 chassis beginning in 1952. It had a slight increase over the B21's 2,860mm wheelbase and was powered by a 2.0-liter V-6 engine. It was offered only as a bare chassis for exacting clients to cloth in the specification of their choosing.
