"Quadrige"

Lancia D50 from 1954
1574 Brass nails

Quadrige -  Kind of ancient chariot mounted on two wheels, harnessed by four horses arranged abreast, used as a ceremonial vehicle, then for races.

!

After the Second World War Lancia engaged in an unprecedented assault on the tracks, with highly advanced racing cars.

​

The D50 is an exceptionally compact racer, with all weight concentrated between the wheels and a very low centre of gravity.

​

One of the most unusual features of the D50 were the fuel and oil tanks, which were mounted in two big panniers between the wheels.

Size :  L 192cm / W 75cm / H 50cm

​

The body work is made of ash and the nails are of brass. The cockpit is covered with a swamp oak, walnut and a zebrano veener.

 

The wheels and tires are made of lime wood. The steering wheel is made of steel, brass and aluminium. The exhaust pipe is made of steel.
