The Lance Aureliaproduced between 1950 and 1958, represents a milestone in Italian automotive history. Conceived as a luxury car, its range included models ranging from the sedan to the GT coupé (B20) and the spider/convertible (B24). Big names in design, like Happy Mario Boano e Pininfarinahelped create a timeless style that still inspires designers today.
Born under the guidance of the engineer Vittorio Janothe Aurelia stood out for its technical innovation. It was one of the first cars to feature a production V6 engine and adopted radial tyres, anticipating trends that only became standard years later. Despite its positioning as a luxury car, the Aurelia also played a significant role in competitions, confirming itself as a perfect mix of elegance and performance.
Today, Lancia is preparing to write a new chapter in its history with the support of the Stellantis group. After the launch of the new Ypsilon in 2026, other models are planned, such as the Lancia Gamma and the new Delta. This renewed enthusiasm for the brand has inspired visionary projects, including the concept of a modern Lancia Aurelia GT.
A visionary concept for the Aurelia of tomorrow
Il designer Lorenzo Graziani imagined an electric reinterpretation of the Lancia Aurelia GT, capable of combining the charm of the past with the technologies of the future. This unofficial concept takes inspiration from the iconic features of the original, such as the four headlights, the long hood and the elegant silhouette, but adds a contemporary touch.
Graziani’s proposal positions the new Aurelia GT among luxury vehicles such as the Rolls-Royce Spectre, but with a profoundly Italian style. Designed for a new generation of motorists, this reinterpretation combines aesthetic refinement and advanced technology, keeping the soul of the historic Aurelia intact.
The new Aurelia GT could represent not only the relaunch of an icon, but also the symbol of Lancia’s ability to reinvent itself, offering uncompromising luxury and a unique style that looks to the future.
