The Lancia Aurélia B20 GT - Technical and aesthetic revolution
Launched in 1951, the Lancia Aurélia B20 GT represented a true revolution in the world of grand touring. Designed by engineer Vittorio Jano, formerly of Alfa Romeo, this innovative car introduced cutting-edge technical solutions that would have a lasting impact on the automotive industry.
The Aurélia coupé was distinguished by its 2-litre V6 engine , a revolutionary configuration for the time, combined with a transmission integrated into the rear axle - a world first. This bold architecture allowed for optimal weight distribution and gave the car exceptional road qualities. Its bodywork designed by Pinin Farina harmoniously combined visual power and aerodynamics, establishing new aesthetic standards for Italian GTs.
Commercially, the Aurélia B20 GT was an immediate success with wealthy European and American customers , establishing itself as the symbol of the revival of the post-war Italian automobile industry.
Lancia - Technical excellence at the service of innovation
In the early 1950s, Lancia was undergoing a period of creative renaissance under the leadership of Gianni Lancia, son of founder Vincenzo. The Turin-based brand, renowned for its technical innovations since 1906, was seeking to regain its place among Europe's prestigious manufacturers following the upheavals of World War II.
The Aurélia was a perfect fit with the brand's philosophy: prioritizing technical innovation over mass production. Lancia had already made automotive history with revolutionary creations like the Lambda and its innovations in monocoque chassis. With the Aurélia, the company confirmed its reputation as a technological laboratory, anticipating developments in the global automotive industry by several decades.
The Aurélia, star of cinema and rallies
The story of the Lancia Aurélia B20 GT extends far beyond the automotive world to become part of 1950s popular culture. This exceptional automobile quickly became an emblem of the refined Italian lifestyle, perfectly embodying the spirit of the emerging "Dolce Vita."
In cinema, the Aurélia conquered Hollywood and European stages. The biggest stars of the time , from Marcello Mastroianni to Brigitte Bardot, were photographed at the wheel of this exceptional Lancia. The model made a particular impression in several Italian films of the 1950s, where its elegant silhouette symbolized social success and Mediterranean good taste.
In competition, the Aurélia B20 GT also wrote some fine pages of history. Entered in the most prestigious European rallies , it notably won the Targa Florio in 1952 and distinguished itself brilliantly in the Monte-Carlo and the Mille Miglia. These sporting successes consolidated its technical reputation and helped to forge its legend among sports car enthusiasts.
Even today, the Aurélia B20 GT remains one of the most sought-after Lancias among collectors, a testament to its timeless design and the quality of its construction. Its popularity continues to rise on the collector car market, confirming its status as an automotive icon of the 1950s.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.
Concretely, a 1/18 scale Ferrari model is approximately 25-30 cm long, while in 1/43 scale it measures approximately 10 cm.
What scales are available?
Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
The smaller the second number, the larger the model car (e.g. 1/18 is larger than 1/43).
