Title: Lancia Beta Trevi Bimotore 1983
Post by: Tone on October 31, 2015, 06:09:03 PM
Does anyone got more information about it?

In 1984 Giorgio Pianta, an ex-race car driver, and ex-engineer at Abarth, designed a Trevi with two engines, the Trevi Bimotore. At the UK’s Lancia Motor Club National Rally (July 15th-17th, 2005) Pianta explained that car was built “to test the principles of four wheel drive technology whilst developing the Delta S4.” The Bimotore had a 1995cc Volumex engine in the front and a second one mounted in the back. Through various modifications both were pushed to 150hp, making the entire car good for 300hp. Only one was built.

Sulla base della VX la Lancia approntò un prototipo per sperimentare la trazione integrale: la Trevi Bimotore. Caratterizzata da vistose prese d'aria laterali e dotata di due propulsori VX, uno anteriore ed uno posteriore, per 270 CV totali, la meccanica della Trevi Bimotore era gestita elettronicamente da un software studiato per l'occasione. Verniciato in rosso scuro, con i colori storici Lancia HF, questo prototipo sopravvive ancora oggi nella collezione storica Lancia.

I've seen it in the lancia collection and also when it was brought over to the UK for an LMC agm, looks very neatly done but beyond that I know no more. What has happened to the lancia collection these days I wonder?

I think the Lancia collection is still going and can be viewed, but Fiat regularly threaten to close it down and sell it off.

Was Pianta the speaker that year, and did he bring the car with him?
