TheLancia D24 was asports racing car introduced byLancia in 1953, and raced in the 1953 and 1954 seasons. It kept the overall layout of its predecessor theD23—that is a multi-tubular frame chassis,double wishbones/De Dion suspension,transaxle transmission and abarchetta body—but had a large 3,284 ccV6 engine. The V6 produced 265 hp (198 kW), giving the car a top speed of 260 km/h (162 mph).
Some of the D24's most significant overall victories are those byJuan Manuel Fangio in the1953 Carrera Panamericana, byAlberto Ascari in the1954 Mille Miglia, and byPiero Taruffi in the 1954Targa Florio and Giro di Sicilia.
In 1955, the President ofLancia presented a D24 to PresidentJuan Perón ofArgentina who raced it nationally in the blue and yellow national livery. It was returned toItaly in the 1980s and restored by the Count Vittorio Zanon. This is one of just two D24s in existence; the other is in theLancia Museum.[2]
