Lancia Aurelia B52 Gran Gala Boneschi

The Lancia Aurelia B52 Gran Gala by Carrozzeria Boneschi.

Vehicle Overview

The Lancia Aurelia B52 Gran Gala, crafted by Carrozzeria Boneschi, is a rare and distinctive version of the legendary Lancia Aurelia. Debuting at the 1952 Turin Auto Salon, this model drew attention for its sophisticated design and luxurious touches, marking it as a unique take on Lancia’s engineering excellence. Boneschi, known for its bespoke coachwork, built the B52 Gran Gala in a limited series, focusing on refinement and exclusivity. Based on the B52 chassis, which Lancia designated for specialized coachbuilt bodies, the Gran Gala diverged from the standard Aurelia models by emphasizing style and luxury over raw performance. Boneschi’s design introduced a streamlined body with elegant proportions, featuring flowing lines, bold chrome accents, and a refined grille that gave the car a stately appearance. Its balanced stance and signature touches, such as uniquely shaped fenders and polished detailing, made the Gran Gala stand out even among other custom-built Italian cars of the period.,The Aurelia B52 Gran Gala’s interior was equally remarkable, reflecting the era’s penchant for opulence and attention to detail. High-quality materials like premium leather and polished wood adorned the cabin, creating an inviting space that was as comfortable as it was stylish. The model combined Boneschi’s artisanal craftsmanship with Lancia’s cutting-edge technology, including the innovative V6 engine that made the Aurelia series famous for its smooth power delivery and advanced performance.,Although the Gran Gala was built in small numbers, its exhibition at the 1952 Turin Auto Salon underscored its significance within the coachbuilding world, representing a peak in Italian automotive design and bespoke luxury. This limited-production model remains a prized collector’s item, not only for its rarity but also for its role in the Aurelia’s storied history as one of Lancia’s most influential and revered models. The Aurelia B52 Gran Gala by Boneschi continues to be celebrated for its elegance, marking a beautiful intersection of Lancia’s engineering with Boneschi’s creative vision.
