The Lancia Florida II was a concept car created by Pininfarina for Lancia in 1957. It was the successor to the original Lancia Florida concept car, unveiled at the Turin Auto Show in 1955.
The Lancia Florida II featured a sleek, futuristic design with a low-slung profile, aerodynamic lines, and a sloping roofline. The car's front end was dominated by a large, curved windshield that extended into the roof, giving the car a distinctive look. The front grille was also unique, with a rectangular shape flanked by dual headlights on either side.
The Florida II was powered by a 1.2-liter V4 engine that produced 52 horsepower and was mated to a four-speed manual transmission. The car had a top speed of around 90 miles per hour.
The Florida II featured a luxurious interior with plush leather seats, a wood-trimmed dashboard, and a unique steering wheel with a polished metal center.
The Lancia Florida II was never intended for production; only one prototype was built. However, the car's design significantly influenced the styling of other Pininfarina-designed cars, including the Lancia Flaminia and the Ferrari 250 GT Coupe.
Despite its status as a concept car, the Lancia Florida II remains an important piece of automotive history, representing the best Italian design and engineering in the mid-20th century. Its sleek, futuristic styling and luxurious interior inspire designers and car enthusiasts today.
