Lancia Kayak

The Lancia Kayak by Bertone: The modern Aurelia.

Vehicle Overview

The Lancia Kayak, presented for the first time at the 1995 Geneva Motor Show, was a Bertone interpretation of a modern Lancia coupé in line with the traditions of the manufacturer. The Lancia K Kayak. The line will take up the classic canons of the post-war italian school of bodywork. If it sees the return of the long bonnet; the well-lit, cosy four seat driver and passenger compartment; and the short sloping boot, it is a truly refined italian sports coupè. The Lancia Kayak is a modern reworking of the style canons of the Italian coupé, of the great cars of the 1950’s and 1960’s. In keeping with Nuccio Bertone’s characteristic desire to challenge the design ideas of the times, the Lancia Kayak was a modern reinterpretation of the past. At the 1995 Geneva Motor Show, the Lancia Kayak, designed by Luciano d’Ambrosio came to be seen as the frontier between what had made the Italian automobile great in the past, and the contemporary resurgence of the cabriolet and coupé. At the Turin Motor Show in 1996, Bertone presented a working prototype on a Lancia K base, intentionally characterised by proportions which recall the classic design tenets of the Neapolitan school of styling. This marked a change in the basic design of front wheel drive cars: a return to the long bonnet, evoking a powerful engine and high speeds, to the light, compact cockpit with four bucket seats, and to the short, sloping tail well blended with the wings. In short, this was a real Italian-style coupé, with tight, harmonious styling, the kind of car that Lancia had excelled at in the past. An Aurelia B20 for the year 2000.

The Unfulfilled Promise of the Lancia Kayak

In the vibrant tapestry of automotive history, certain moments stand out as missed opportunities – instances where a concept car, though brimming with potential, fails to materialize into a production marvel. The Lancia Kayak, a sleek and sporty concept designed by Luciano D’Ambrosio and crafted by the renowned Italian coachbuilder Bertone, stands as one such lamentable example. Unveiled in 1995 at the Geneva Motor Show, the Kayak was poised to be a modern heir and reinterpretation of classic postwar Lancia coupés like the iconic Aurelia B20. In this article, we explore the distinctive features of the Lancia Kayak and delve into the reasons behind its unfortunate fate, contrasting it with the lackluster Lancia Kappa coupé that eventually made its way into production.
