We often ask you to take a second look at the car we"re talking about, but indulge us this time, if you will. This is the brainchild of Eugenio Amos, a 33-year-old race driver and car fanatic from Varese. In his lifetime, he watched as the proud name of Lancia went from rally legend with international prestige to a withered and emaciated husk, selling rebodied Fiat 500s within Italy"s borders. And this is his reaction. And it"s certainly one hell of a reaction a perfectly proportioned homage to one of Lancia"s all-time greats, reimagined with hand-formed aluminium bodywork and a carbon-fibre fascia. And, as you may have noticed, two doors. "It represents my romantic vision in a world that is too aseptic, too fast, that runs like the wind, superficial and intangible," says Amos. "I long for a bygone, idealised time when men, values and substance were at the core of the product. Therefore this car is pure, raw and essential."
