Most modern turbo 4 cylinders sound utter sh!te compared to the likes of this and evos etc.

Looking for a photo on my computer and came across these from Monaco a few years ago;

I watched this video the other day, superb attention to detail passion for the brand, it is a travesty what Lancia is today.

Love this!

 

[andy9eleven]

Might not be the most special car in the world, but my goodness does this design just keeps getting nicer as it ages. Really fancy one of these at some point.

 

[trev 1515]

Definitely, has to be the 3.2 though

Or indeed the rare Cup version with the little front wing vent. Definitely something appealing about this generation of Italian cars that are still going cheap. Fiat Coupes, Barchetta, the older 80s Alfa Spiders and Fiat X1/9 etc

Try getting a cheap Cup these days....damnit I kick myself for not getting one of them or a 147GTA when they were cheap.

 

[andy9eleven]

@Jamz3k Ok, yes Cup is not cheap, but the normal ones are still pretty affordable given the way other 80s and 90s modern classics are going.

And agreed, the recent video on Car Throttle on the 147 GTA really had me tempted!

I have one of these in my imaginary collection too!

 

[andy9eleven]

@Lyons oh my, what a cracking pic that is! I could happily hang that on the wall.

I went to look at a local one for sale few months ago, car didn’t match the cars description. Very disappointed.

Ok Italian lovers, thoughts on this? This was in work today. Giulia QV Nurburgring Edition. Haven't seen the Nurburgring Stelvio yet but it's somewhat similar in the fact its also dripping with carbon. Personally the colour isn't for me but I've priced up a few of the carbon bits and they're painfully expensive!

 

[Phil_D]

I want those seats !!!

Nice to see they are doing the bare carbon roof now, why it wasn’t an option from the beginning is beyond me. Surely painting the roof costs more than leaving it bare ?

Is the rear diffuser carbon or still black plastic ?

 

[andy9eleven]

I want that entire car!!!

The bare carbon looks fantastic. It should have been an option IMO. The diffuser is just black plastic, how disappointing is that? Hell knows how much more the car would be if that was carbon, considering the little carbon trim on the gearknob, not even the whole gearknob, is £300! The seats are fantastic looking but they're like sitting on a park bench... hard as hell.

There's the Stelvio.

Apparently the Giulia is going to the museum and they dont even want to put petrol in it. Waste of a good car.

 

[carmad.]

i would drive that giulia every day wouldn’t care how much it costs

 

[TheDaniel]

I'm actually really not fond of the colour tbh. Looks like a cheap wrap IMO. Still a cool car. Much prefer the metallic grey...

This was a while ago with crappy lighting but it's probably the colour I'd choose.
