The start of Lancia Automobiles S.P.A. (formerly Lancia Co.) started as many Italian sports car manufacturers. It was a way to offer a better car to racing fans in Turin, Italy. Vincenzo Lancia and Claudio Fogolin wanted to create a light and economical car that would attract those who choose to run as a sport. Vincenzo Lancia spent many years driving cars and was firmly convinced of how to build one. He was a pioneer in this area mainly because he understood the importance of vehicle mechanics. At the end of the 19th century, Vincenzo spent a lot of time in the shop of Giovanni Ceirano, who was partly responsible for the creation of Fiat. Lancia left school to pursue his passion for automobiles. In 1906, Lancia decided to separate from the Ceirano factory to pursue a car completely designed by him. He persuaded Claudio Fogolin, another Fiat test pilot, to join their ranks. Both raised 50,000 lire each and opened the store on November 29, 1906. P>
In 2014, Sergio Marchionne announced that the Lancia brand would be retired everywhere except in Italy for 2017. The Chrysler line continues to build new stylized models to satisfy both Chrysler and Lancia. There would be no replacement for the luxury brand in any other part of the world, except to change its name to Fiat. Lancia continues to use its letters of the Greek alphabet to designate its new models as Ypsilon, Musa and Delta. Its marketing remains true to its original values of being a luxury brand that offers the best possible car for motorists. His image continues to make Vincenzo Lancia proud. P>
