The future looks bright for Lancia. At the Geneva Auto Show next month, Lancia will unveil the production version of the new version of legendary Delta. Expected to begin production this summer, the Delta will be built on a stretched Fiat Bravo platform with unique bodywork and a more luxurious interior. Lancia executives are said to be considering hardtop-convertible and crossover variants, but that's only the start of Lancia's product-led rejuvenation.
A replacement for the miniscule Ypsilon hatchback is expected to be unveiled next year, while a replacement for the Musa minivan is anticipated to follow, unfortunately based on the outdated platform of the Fiat Idea MPV. The flagship Thesis sedan, which is not a success for the company will be probably cancelled.
But Lancia has another idea for its upcoming flagship model. According to the reports from AutoVisie, Lancia is working on an exotic sportscar of its own based on the Alfa 8C Competizione and expected to revive the Aurelia nameplate. Lancia's sister company Alfa Romeo has already sold out its limited run of 500 coupes, and should have no problem finding other owners for the upcoming edition of 500 roadsters, either.
