Lancia Flavia Berlina 1.5, 1960. Designed by Piero Castagnero and developed by Antonio Fessia, it introduced several technical "firsts" for Italian production cars. Features included an aluminium flat-four engine and four-wheel disc brakes. The boxer engine was mounted ahead of the front axle for improved traction. The mechanical layout was similar to that adopted by Subaru in 1966 and used by them ever since. #lancia #weirdcarmastodon Source, carsthatnevermadeitetc.tumblr.com
