Lancia Aurelia B52 Bertone
Chassis
#B52-1074
The Lancia Aurelia B52 one-off by Bertone designed by Michelotti.
Vehicle Overview
The Lancia Aurelia B52 Bertone stands as a remarkable example of Italian automotive craftsmanship, being one of only 98 chassis produced by Lancia, each uniquely bodied by various coachbuilders. This specific chassis, B52-1074, is a one-off masterpiece created by Carrozzeria Bertone, showcasing a beautifully proportioned design by the acclaimed Giovanni Michelotti. The car was prominently displayed at the 1952 Turin Motor Show, capturing the attention of enthusiasts and collectors alike. In 1951, the carrozzieri at Bertone also explored the Lancia platform of the 650 Aurelia, which featured a lengthened wheelbase of 2910 mm. This additional space allowed for a more spacious and luxurious interior while maintaining the elegant lines that defined the Aurelia series. The B52’s custom body not only emphasized the aesthetic appeal but also housed sophisticated mechanics, including a 1750 cc V6 engine that produced 56 horsepower at 4000 rpm. This blend of power and design contributed to the Aurelia’s reputation as one of the most coveted and expensive cars of its time. The B52 Bertone was designed as a five-seat, two-door saloon, combining practicality with style. Its elegant lines, distinctive grille, and carefully crafted details exemplify the artistry of Bertone and Michelotti. This car is not just a mode of transportation but a work of art that reflects the golden age of automotive design. For those interested in learning more about this exceptional vehicle, a video interview with its owner provides deeper insights into its history and significance. The Lancia Aurelia B52 Bertone remains a treasured piece in the legacy of Lancia, representing a harmonious fusion of innovative engineering and stunning design that continues to capture the hearts of car enthusiasts around the world.
