Ypsilon Sport
|
 The Lancia Ypsilon Sport concept car, showed at the 2005 Geneva Motor Show, is an original prototype, developed with the Zagato Design Centre, that marks Lancia’s return to the sports car world. The model was designed with the aim of creating a car for everyday use but one that would offer the driver the behaviour and sensations of a real sports car, in the right situation.
The Ypsilon Sport maintains the sober elegant line of the basic model which the public obviously appreciates, livened up by a number of more dynamic, aggressive elements. More substantial changes have been made on the inside, as you would expect of a car with a great temperament, because the driving position is the fulcrum around which the interior is designed.

 But it is under the bonnet that the prototype really differs from other cars: it is the first time that the powerful 1.9 16v Multijet turbodiesel unit boosted to 150 bhp (110 kW at 4,100 rpm), with peak torque of 306 Nm at 2000 rpm, has been used in the city car segment.
The result is an extremely up-to-date car, which explores innovative stylistic and engineering ideas, a concept car that embodies appealing styling, a great temperament and outstanding engineering. These are the Lancia Ypsilon Sport’s most striking features and the result of collaboration with Zagato, but also with a number of important partners such as Pirelli, Toora, Lear Corporation, MOMO, TRW, Olsa, Siemens, VDO, Marelli and Delphi.
