Lancia Aprilia Cabriolet Pininfarina

A 2 seats 1940 Lancia Aprilia Spider, one-off model, with collapsible windscreen.

Vehicle Overview

The Lancia Aprilia Cabriolet Pininfarina from 1940 is a rare and distinctive one-off model that embodies the elegance and innovation of pre-war Italian automotive design. Designed by Pininfarina, this two-seat cabriolet stands out for its unique styling and the sophisticated engineering features that define the brand’s commitment to luxury and performance. One of the standout elements of this car is its collapsible windscreen, a feature that was both functional and stylish. The windscreen could be lowered, giving the car a more streamlined, open appearance when driving. The design also incorporated a completely retractable hood that disappeared neatly under a lid, contributing to the car’s clean, uninterrupted lines when the top was down. This feature was not only practical but also contributed to the overall sleek aesthetic of the vehicle, enhancing its appeal to those with a taste for refinement and cutting-edge design. The Lancia Aprilia Cabriolet Pininfarina was not the only vehicle to feature this innovative styling. Pininfarina also applied a similar design concept to another notable creation on the Fiat 6C 1500 chassis. This shared design element demonstrated Pininfarina’s ability to work across different manufacturers while maintaining a distinctive design language that became synonymous with Italian elegance and luxury. This cabriolet is a shining example of Pininfarina’s craftsmanship and Lancia’s engineering excellence. It combines classic elegance with forward-thinking features, showcasing the innovation and attention to detail that made both companies famous. Today, the Lancia Aprilia Cabriolet Pininfarina stands as a cherished collector’s item, embodying a golden era of automotive design. Its rarity, timeless appeal, and flawless craftsmanship make it a significant piece of automotive history, a reminder of the golden age of Italian coachbuilding.
