#Lancia Beta

Lancia Beta 2000 Spider, 1977. The car the Felber FF Spider was based on. The Beta Spider was first introduced in 1975, Pininfarina had designed the targa-style Spider bodywork based on short wheelbase Coupé that had been designed in-house at Lancia. The construction process was complex. The coupé bodies-in-white were sent to Zagato for the roofless conversion, then back to Lancia for rust-proofing, then returned to Zagato for paint, interior and trim, and then back to Lancia for engine installation and final assembly. Lancia probably lost money on every car built. In total 9,390 were made before production stopped in 1982. It was not replaced

Lancia Beta 2000 HPE 

Introduced at the March 1975 Geneva Salon, the Lancia Beta HPE was more of a ‘lifestyle estate’ than a serious load lugger. Indebted to the existing Coupe and Berlina variants for its visage and wheelbase respectively, the newcomer was powered by a choice of 1600cc, 1800cc and (later) 2000cc ‘twin-cam’ engines. Sharing the same all-round independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, rack and pinion steering and five-speed manual transmission as its siblings, the High Performance Estate was praised by the contemporary press for its performance, handling and roadholding being labelled ‘a driver’s car’. Known simply as the Lancia HPE from 1979 onwards, the stylish three-door remained in production until 1984. Sadly, Lancia’s well-documented rust issues mean that survivors are a rare sight on today’s roads.

It's engine was derived from the relatively new Aurelio Lampredi-designed Fiat twin-cam, which at that point was one of the world's most advanced four-cylinder production engines. Its aluminum cylinder head, with hemispherical combustion chambers, was modified by Lancia, and it helped the engine outpunch its Fiat counterpart. Like the Fulvia and Flavia before it, the Beta featured front-wheel drive; the engine was mounted transversely, and tilted back by 20 degrees to allow for a better center of gravity and a lower hood.

Oh that sounds interesting! What anime was that?

Random question: What cars do we most associate with fanfic? There's an argument to be made that it should be none of them; that fanfic is so often written and/or read on public transit, antithetical to cars. But personally, I think there is an answer, and it's these three:
