Simon Cars - Lancia Flaminia Zagato

Lancia Flaminia Sport Zagato

The Flaminia Gran Turismo coupe was shown in 1959 on the shortest (99-inch) of the Flaminia floorpans, and was much lighter than even the slighter longer Pininfarina Coupe. Later that year Carrozzeria Zagato presented the Flaminia Sport Zagato on the same floorpan. Designed by Ercole Spada, the Sport Zagato was offered as a Series I with faired headlamps, a Series II with open headlamps, and a revised Super Sport with a Kamm Tail and restyled front. Zagato had the cars built by six different coachbuilders.
