Granturismo Stilnovo
|
Wedding two very different motoring concepts that were until recently believed to be irreconcilable: the practicality and flexibility of a conventional saloon, on the one hand, and the high performance of an out-and-out sports coupƩ on the other.
This is the new frontier in the field of motoring design. The Lancia Style Centre took up the challenge with alacrity and has given us two ideas that beat anything else on offer in the world. First came the Lancia Granturismo, a prototype created through a joint venture between the Lancia Style Centre, Studio Carcerano and Carrozzeria Maggiora.

Today it's the turn of the Granturismo Stilnovo, a concept car of huge stylistic appeal. It is essentially a living test ground for the shapes and styling cues of future Lancias. More specifically, this car solves the knotty problem of blending maximum practicality with exhilarating performance on a medium-segment car while accentuating a design of great visual impact and dynamism.

Granturismo Stilnovo is a heady blend of pure Lancia values, where the most sophisticated engineering is always subservient to design. It represents a meeting point between a quest for good looks, IT and virtual technology. It reveals the sculpted quality of many models from the Fifties and Sixties and expresses distinctive Brand motifs. Last but not least, the prototype is also inspired by an architectural form known as HPE (High Performance Estate), a renowned name in the Sixties.
