The Lancia Flavia Cabrio is powered by a 2.4 naturally aspirated engine, delivering 175 horsepower, connected to a six-speed automatic transmission. The production version has specific 18 inch rims, LED tail lights and a slightly different grille, but the rest of it is carried over from the 200, itself an evolution of the Chrysler Sebring. The soft top roof opens and shuts mechanically and has apparently been designed to store away so that the car keeps its sleek lines when cruising with the top down. <center> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH831rweqgNn5BaleBrfwut-3fJvRNhyphenhyphenAcmhzCmrDrzjAr-vEg8j6OW2IKACSIdSJya11q-mmToHZN511TDRf0WgrsGQEt4NJwxaFv5_TAkpcEEwEKKp89o4V4_3OUSNWl0zmmw3SozQU/s1600/Lancia-Flavia-2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="Lancia Flavia Cabrio" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5647692326658883810" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH831rweqgNn5BaleBrfwut-3fJvRNhyphenhyphenAcmhzCmrDrzjAr-vEg8j6OW2IKACSIdSJya11q-mmToHZN511TDRf0WgrsGQEt4NJwxaFv5_TAkpcEEwEKKp89o4V4_3OUSNWl0zmmw3SozQU/s200/Lancia-Flavia-2.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 130px; height: 87px;" /></a></center> Press Release New Flavia Cabrio: four seats, four seasons Following its critical and public success enjoyed at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, Lancia decided to produce the original Flavia Cabrio which enhances the stylistic features of the Italian manufacturer the Chrysler 200 model being launched on the European market. The Lancia convertible is an interesting alternative for customers who want the benefits of a coupé without giving up the unique sensations that only an open-air car can offer. The new car indeed guarantees a fine driving experience unparalleled by any other in its segment, whether tackling the daily trip in town to go to the office or when taking to the splendid scenic roads out of town on week-ends. In terms of length (4.9 metres), height (1.4 m) and width (1.8 m), the Lancia Flavia Cabrio is at the top of segment D, offering the ultimate in interior room - it can accommodate up to four adults - and on-board comfort with its generous 276-cm wheelbase. Identifiable by an elegant and dynamic look, the new Flavia Cabrio has a sculpturesque front sporting the unprecedented grille with Lancia logo and the original front headlights and fog lights. The surface of the side panel is extremely elegant and clean, in addition to being distinguished by a sleek line that lengthens the car and gives it dynamism and by elegant 18" alloy wheels. The rear LED light cluster stylistically joined by a thin chrome-plated bar that further enhances the overall look contributes to accentuating its elegant design. This impression is further reinforced by the unusual twin chrome-plated tailpipe and by the sophisticated electrically-controlled soft top enclosed inside the hood cover, harmoniously built into the body with the third brake light at its base. So if "elegance and dynamism" describe the exterior of the new Flavia Cabrio, the guidelines inside are refinement and innovation, in perfect tune with Italian style and the craftsmanship quality that has always distinguished Lancia cars. Aesthetic refinement that flows through the entire passenger compartment and wraps around driver and passengers in a warm, sophisticated "embrace" thanks to the painstaking selection of fine materials, the attention devoted to every minimum details and the adoption of advanced comfort, safety and driving pleasure features. In short, the new Flavia Cabrio boasts a sophisticate surrounding that will without a doubt win over a customer who seeks exclusiveness, technology and Italian taste in a car. A new console has been created for him. It has elegant chrome-plated frames and a large central display; a brand new steering wheel wrapped in full-grain leather complete with built-in controls for managing radio, cruise control and mobile phone in total safety; and newly designed seats upholstered in fine leather, complete with practical "active" headrests. Equipped with the brilliant 175 HP 2.4 litre petrol engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission, the captivating Lancia Flavia Cabrio is offered in a single, exclusive version that is "all inclusive". As the name itself intimates, it offers a wealth of standard equipment, from the top quality leather upholstery, electronic stability control (ESC) and traction, latest-generation ABS and numerous airbags (front multi-stage, side and window bags) to the ISOFIX mountings for transporting children in complete safety, the innovative Uconnect® multimedia system complete with satellite navigation system, and the sophisticated "Boston Acoustic Sound System".

<center><img height="453" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/02/10-integrale-limo.jpg" width="600"></center> With the popularity of the Subaru WRX and Mitsubishi Evo, it'd be easy to dismiss the likes of the Lancia Delta HF Integrale as a relic of the past. But make no mistake about it: The roadgoing version of this Italian rally machine is as exotic and desirable as any supercar to come from the same country. All the more reason, then, to be appalled at this unfortunate conversion job. <center><img height="452" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/02/12-integrale-limo.jpg" width="600"></center> It appears that some garage in Italy has taken an Integrale (possibly two, according to reports), chopped it up and stretched it into a limousine. If you're thinking that an all-wheel drive hot hatch is the worst possible candidate for limo-ification, we're with you. Whether the conversion job retains the all-wheel drive system remains a big question mark, however, with power coming from either the Integrale's eight-valve 2.0-liter turbo four or the Evo's 16-valve version. <center><img height="449" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/02/17-integrale-limo.jpg" width="600"></center> If the two limos are based on original Delta HF Integrale cars or on standard Delta hatchbacks, and if they feature the Integrale's four-wheel drive system or not are questions that we don't have the answers to. <center><img height="454" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/02/25-integrale-limo.jpg" width="600"></center> <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/gallery/1991-lancia-delta-hf-integrale-stretched-limousine/#12">More Photos</a>
