Lancia Fulvia Sport Zagato |
||||||||||||||||||||
|
The sport body comes from an
idea of Elio Zagato, who had created interesting and
advanced racing car. Starting from the chassis of Coupé, Ercole Spada designed an avantgarde body with more aerodynamics than Coupé and advanced stylistic solutions. These cars were assembled in the factory of Zagato near Milan. Front track is 1300mm, rear track is 1280 mm, wheelbase is 2330mm just like the Coupé. The Sport is lighter than the Coupé because of the extended use of light alloy parts in the body, this fact made Sport too much delicate for long distance race, especially with 1.6 engines, and that's why it hadn't got the same fame in sporting like the Coupé. Only 1.2 and earlier 1.3 models had complete peralluman body; following 1.3 and 1.3 s first series maintained only doors, bootlid and spare tyre door in light alloy: the peralluman body was abandoned to strengthen the coachwork and also for economic reasons. Second series adopted steel coach and steel door because they where easier to produce, but the first second series cars, quite rare (600 specimen known as 1 and ½ series), had still aluminum moving parts with bootlid side opening. A spider prototype was also built in 1968. |
