Brainchild of legendary engineer Antonio Fessia, the Fulvia derived its name from a Roman road that connected Tortona to Torino. Launched at the 1963 Geneva Salon as a four-door Saloon, the newcomer was styled inhouse by Piero Castagnero who also penned a two-door Coupe derivative that entered production in 1965. Utilising the same independent front suspension, well-located beam rear axle and four-wheel disc brakes as its existing sibling, but sat on a 150mm shorter wheelbase, the Fulvia Coupe was among the best handling cars of the 1960s / 1970s. The work of Zaccone Mina, its narrow angle DOHC V4 engine ranged in size from 1216cc to 1584cc and was allied to four- or (later) five-speed manual transmission. Responsible for Lancia's first official foray into motorsport since withdrawing from F1 during 1955, the Fulvia Coupe placed 8th overall on its competitive debut, the 1965 Tour de Corse. Winning the Italian Rally Championship every year from 1965-1973 (except 1970), the Works Cars fielded by Cesare Fiorio also scooped the 1972 International Championship for Manufacturers with two rounds to spare.
