The Lancia Flavia was introduced in 1961 as an entirely new design for a mid-size sedan, and in typical Lancia style of the era, virtually all the Italian coachbuilders took a swing at special editions. The original Flavia was a four-door sedan designed at Lancia, but shortly after introduction, Pininfarina created a coupe version, Vignale developed a two-door convertible, and Zagato did a sweeping space-age design two-door lightweight.
Engine power for the Flavia started at 1.5 liters arranged as a water-cooled flat-four. This little plant developed 77 hp and 81 lb-ft of torque, which yielded a 0-60 time of almost 19 seconds, and an absolute top speed of about 93 mph. Even so, the Flavia sedan was reasonably popular. The early coupe and convertible versions received a dual-carb setup that boosted power output to 89 hp and 85 lb-ft of torque.
In 1963, engine displacement was raised to 1.8 liters and output bumped up to 92 hp (100 hp for dual-carb models). That dropped 0-60 times to about 15 seconds and added 10 mph to the top speed. In 1965, fuel injection was added as an option that yielded 101 hp. The 1.5-liter engine remained available in the base model.
Another twist to the Flavia was that all models were front-wheel-drive, a highly unusual feature in 1961. The early Flavia came only with a four-speed fully synchronized manual transmission with column-mounted shifter.
