Find out about the genius of Vincenzo Lancia.,
By A Customer
This review is from: LA Lancia (Marques & models) (Hardcover)
An excellent book full of technical drawings, specifications, photos and colour plates which combine to tell the story of one of the greatest automotive engineers and his company.The book includes anecdotes that allow the reader to understand the persona of Vincenzo Lancia, the man that gave the world independent suspension, unitary construction five speed gearboxes, anti-roll bars and was hero worshipped by Enzo Ferrari. Until you read this book, you won't realise that Lancia are responsible for more significant motoring firsts that have shaped the cars you drive than any other car company. The V6 engine, transaxles are a few Lancia innovations. The text is interspersed with competition results that highlight Lancia as the only manufacturer ever to hold World Championships in Formula 1 Grand Prix, Rallying and Sportscar racing. A great deal of time is spent on the rally competition heritage as the most successful rallying car ever with 11 World Rally Championships in only 20 years of competition. This book is a must for everyone interested in innovation and automotive engineering, and as an insight into the mind of a genius. |
