LANCIA

46 entries

Italian cars with a rallying soul: technical firsts early on, and more World Rally manufacturers’ titles than any other brand.

Founded: 1906, Turin
Founders: Vincenzo Lancia, Claudio Fogolin
Owner: Stellantis Europe
Part of Fiat since: 1969

Lancia & C. was founded in Turin in 1906. Its 1922 Lambda had a unibody chassis, and the 1948 Ardea introduced a five-speed gearbox.

The brand has not competed in the World Rally Championship since 1992, yet still holds more Manufacturers’ Championships than any other. Today its only product is the Ypsilon, and Stellantis has said it will try to revive the marque.
