Lancia Astura Double Phaeton Grand Sport

At the presentation of Astura, Lancia prepared and distributed a Portfolio containing the projects of luxury car Bodyworks that could be provided for the new chassis. Among these was outstanding, signed by Mario Revelli De Beaumont, and very elegant, the “Torpedo Sport” presented as Bodywork Viotti; in fact, the body work Viotti had to alter the proportions of the design of Revelli to adapt it to wheelbase of the 230, that is 3.177 mm. What it has not dared to make Viotti, was done with great skill by Castagna, that obtained a special chassis, Lowered, wheelbase of mm. 3.400, in armony with the proportions of the sketch Revelli.
