But there's nothing concrete yet, Stellantis is still figuring out where to position the brand. However, given the work that they usually do, even if the platform is going to be shared with the rest of the group, you can be sure that the cars will keep their identity, not like the last generation under Chrysler - FCA

My favorite car in DiRT Rally

I went to Ragusa, Sicily in August 1977, to visit some family members. The mother of one of my cousin's had one of these, but in Burgundy red . I asked her, if I could drive it around for a short distance on some twisty mountain roads. Wow I was astonished at how nimble and agile this Fulvia was. It handled the narrow and twisty roads with considerable ease. What a truly great and wonderful car, a real joy to drive.

I lived in Comiso and had a 1973 Fulvia. Many fun roads to drift it through the curves. Have a Fiat Abarth now but will always miss my Fulvia.

Top Gear (Season 14) named Lancia the best car maker ever! I would say they were not wrong

An absolute beauty of a machine, I love it! Please bring more old-school Lancia, they truly were masterpieces of engineering and styling.

The Lancia Fulvia is the most beautiful front wheel drive car of all time, change my mind!

My Alfasud Sprint has the fuel jet sign too for the choke, rather than the more conventionnal butterfly symbol we're used too. And the ignition barrel is on the left of the column, so you have to turn the key towards you. I love those details

@user-sy1ed9ex5m

That's probably related to the specific carbs used for this. Most Weber and Dellorto units enrich the mixture not by closing a butterfly valve over the venturi, but by an additional jet. At least the DRLA40s in my Alfa 33 are like that.

In the Fiats it's exactly the same, with the choke and the ignition barrel.

I’m so thrilled to see you driving my old car! I had a ‘72 Fulvia just like this, except mine was yellow with a black interior. It was such an exciting car to drive, it always felt like you were speeding, and that little engine just loved to be revved. It was also not a car you see in Connecticut where I live, and everywhere I went I got compliments and questions. The key to owning one (or most Italian cars) is to not drive them in wet conditions. My car had spent its first 35 years in Ibiza and was kept dry, I kept mine garaged in winter and on rainy days. It was also an easy car to maintain myself, except for really complex jobs. It was my second favorite car to drive that I ever owned, the first being a 1973 Lotus Europa John Player Special in black and gold. It handled like no other car I’ve ever driven, like the steering wheel was connected to my brain. It was a seriously fast little car that loved to be driven fast. I’m assuming you live in Massachusetts from where you get most of your cars from? Well, if you’ve never driven up to the top of Mt. Greylock in the Berkshires, you need to. I’d often take the Lotus or the Lancia up and down it totally mind blowing (as long as you’re not afraid of heights). Most of that area of the Berkshires has great roads for sports cars.

Italian old school! ;) And that v4 that roars... awesome Thanks for the review!

Absolutely gorgeous Coupé Lancia

I visited Rome in the summer of 1981, and in a city full of Fiat 500s and 750s tearing around within an inch of their red-line, there were still some of these to be seen for the person who could afford something in a class above the Fiats. Among the small FWD Italian cars, the Lancia Fulvia (1500 or 1600 cc's at that time) were the top of the heap.

first time I've heard Lancia pronouced correctly haha! what a car though, so much history, Lancia made some seriously amazing cars in the 20th Century, piloted by some of greatest drivers of their time.

From Naples to USA! I love the "Blue Lancia" paint on that beautiful car.

Hate to say but by 1972 Fiat had purchased Lancia and they gutted the company. They used Russian steel which is where Lancia got the reputation for its cars rusting in the showrooms and they used cheaper components everywhere they could. If you put a ‘69 Fulvia next to the ‘72 you’ll take the early car every time.

Inb4 Tedward drops a video with the road version of the 037 or Delta S4, what a dream. Your reviews are the best man, definitely wish you success, you deserve it

Beautiful looking car. I've heard of the Lancia Fulvia. And I've seen pics of them. But I've never seen one in person. 🙂

I was unnerved by last week's Maybach, but I could not place why it did work for me. I realized that any car company currently around would make exactly that Maybach if given enough money. The vehicle isolates you. It has no soul. There isn't an original though in The Maybach. Watching this Lancia be odd nails it. This Fulvia has a soul. It proudly has fun and does it with chutzpah.

Tedward that knob under the dash that you referred to is the choke and the dash lamp indicates when the choke is on. Those cars are funny that way; the heat control and the hood release are also located under the dash. Unless the interior of the car you drove has been reupholstered the seats are vinyl. I had to look at the backing of the seats on my ‘66 Fulvia to determine that as the quality of the vinyl is that good. I agree that the 4-speed gearbox has a much nicer feel to it.

This thing is awesome man🔥🔥

Loved my Lancia! The mechanical hand carved feel of everything is something special. Mine was a blue 2 liter Beta coupe. Top Gear did a hit job on the car I know. To be fair they were sadly bad for rust. They had been bought by Fiat true but they were true Lancias. The engine was an inline 4 from Fiat but Mr. Lampredi's little four banger was pretty wonderful too. I have very found memory of drifting down little gravel roads. Amazed at how happy it was in it's element. Your videos have great sound just wish I could feel and smell the inside of that car too. Sounds crazy but I'm sure you know where I'm coming from.

One of my fave cars in Dirt Rally XD

Lancia has won in rallys and not with all types of cars. FWD, RWD, 4x4, NA, Turbo, Supercharged, Turbocharged+Supercharged. I don't think a real car guy could not love this brand. And the Fulvia is one of the best of them all

lovely car. I would so love one of these. A coop is where you keep chickens.

Those italians license plates were from the 70s, when Italian vehicles were plated by regions. As an example the one in the trunk had the NA initials which stands for Napoli (NA) naples

PS, I also love slow cars because you can play around even if there's traffic. Its something I really love about my RX-7, it'd be generous to say it has 90hp at the wheels, but it is just so much fun to drive.
