Lancia Beta Fissore HPE
The Lancia Beta Fissore HPE.
Vehicle Overview
The Lancia Beta Fissore HPE is a unique and rare version of the Lancia Beta series, which was subtly reimagined by Italian coachbuilder Rayton Fissore in the early 1980s. The revisions applied to the Beta Coupe and HPE (High Performance Estate) models gave these vehicles a distinctive flair, setting them apart from the standard Beta lineup. Available exclusively through Lancia dealers in Switzerland, these Fissore-modified models were officially sanctioned by Lancia, granting them a prestigious status similar to that of the high-performance H.F. series. Rayton Fissore’s work on the Beta HPE and Coupe focused on enhancing their aesthetic appeal and refining the design details without altering the core mechanicals. These Fissore editions featured unique styling elements, including revised bodywork and interior finishes that lent a more exclusive, upscale look. The Fissore HPE retained the sporty and practical qualities of the original HPE, blending the utility of a shooting brake with the spirited driving dynamics that the Beta series was known for. This exclusive offering in Switzerland made the Fissore-modified Beta models highly desirable, particularly among Lancia enthusiasts. Because these models had Lancia’s official endorsement, they are considered by collectors to hold a special status within the Beta lineup, comparable to Lancia’s sought-after H.F. (High Fidelity) performance models. While the H.F. series emphasized performance tuning and rally heritage, the Fissore models focused on a refined design, embodying a unique blend of elegance and exclusivity. Today, the Lancia Beta Fissore HPE is a rare find and remains an intriguing chapter in the Beta’s history, celebrated for its exclusivity, limited production, and unique coachbuilding pedigree. This special variant serves as a reminder of Lancia’s openness to collaboration and customization, which added a rich layer to the brand’s legacy in producing distinctive, performance-oriented vehicles.
