The last of a series built by Lancia for sports car competition, the D 24 carried Manuel Fangio, Piero Taruffi and Eugenio Castellotti to the first three places in the 1953 Carrera Panamericana.
The following year it won the Sicily Tour and the Targa Florio for Taruffi, the Mille Miglia for Alberto Ascari and the Oporto Grand Prix for Luigi Villoresi. Designed by Vittorio Jano’s technicians, the D 24 is a magnificent example of car engineering in keeping with Lancia’s long-standing tradition.
