The Lancia entrusts the construction of the body to the 3 best Italian coachbuilders, Pininfarina, Touring, Zagato. The Zagato (Milano, 1919) is specialized in sports vehicles and creates a coupé lighter than those of the other two competitors and it is able to reach 190 km/h. In 1962 the engine was also powered by 3 carburetors, this is why the car is identified by the addition of the 3C code. During those years the Zagato had an excellent designer, Ercole Spada, class 1938, lover of aereodynamic lines, who defined the winning model: the FLAMINIA SUPERSPORT in 1963.
