Lancia Y 1,2 16 V by Benz Design, "Ritorno di fiamma"
I literally fell in love with this small car at first
sight. During a couple of my visits to Italy in last few years, I saw
great number of them. They seem to be favored by the fairest sex. On one
hand their size makes them cars of choice for overcrowded streets of Rome
or Naples, and on the other hand they posses enough space for all day to
day needs. They are really driven a lot, but at first I stayed
indifferent.
Let me say a few words about this engine. Original Lancia Y 1200 16V Elefantino Rosso has 86 HP, in Benz Design version power is around 120 HP, and in version with a turbo charger Garret which was developed by Sergio Gasperini it has amazing 153 HP - Truly impressive!!! |
