1954-56 Lancia D50 F1 GREAT & RAW V8 Sound In Action!

[@ivanleal4432]

Amazing history behind this car! Lancia was truly an innovative manufacturer, and its engineers a bunch of crazy geniuses. That V8 is something else, what a sound.

[@jcgabriel1569]

The man who designed the the car (and especially the engine) is Vittorio Jano. That man REALLY know how to make a very good engine, performance or sound-wise.

[@m0ther_bra1ned12]

I think thats the best sounding V8 I've ever heard.

[@pjk750]

Ive seen it first hand flat out at the revival.. trust me.. it is....

[@puebespuebes8589]

Mercedes grand prix car of the 30s sounded more brutal but yes this sound very powerfull especially compared to modern car

[@MrHotshot-ez2dc]

That is one hell of a deafening roar

[@m.cooper1854]

This engine is a rather unusual 90 degree V8, acting as a stressed member long before that was more common. I wonder if that 90 degree configuration contributes to that incredible sound.

[@rickyvalley]

Saw this at the Goodwood Revival this year and my god did it sound fabulous! Brilliant V8 thunder. I urge anyone to go there and see them in person - terrific noise and a great event.

They're pretend car lovers if they don't love this, plain and simple...

[@jcgabriel1569]

The car with the Italian Police escort is, I believe, one of two (somebody correct me if I'm wrong) surviving original Lancia D50. When the team got sold to Ferrari at the later part of 1955 season, Gianni Lancia kept two (?) cars, the rest went to Ferrari. The other cars in the video (the #14 and 17) were recreations built around many original components by a group of Italian Lancia enthusiasts from what I've read. The team managed to find original D50 engines in Italy (one of the engines they bought is still in its original delivery crate, with dyno tags!), and also a number of original D50 transaxles. They also have several original blueprints which helped them in recreating the cars. Hell, the constructor even has the contract of Alberto Ascari with Lancia as its works driver!

[@ericohara2582]

When you look at the spectators faces in the last clip it makes you realise how exciting these cars would have been in the day, especially on the street circuits in the hands of Fangio and Ascari :). Thank you for sharing.

[@rofufoja]

One of the best V8 sounds ever. It even comes close to the sound of the BRM V16

[@MJ-YT-USR]

Not really seen (or at least noticed) this car before. But it's on the Feb-23 page of my office wall calendar, so I came here to check it out. What a beauty!

[@posniknelb6114]

These cars from this era look the greatest of all from history.

[@50gary]

What a beautiful car. I had a plastic model of that as a kid, in the late 1950s great detail, A-arms and it steered, One of the best looking race cars ever. TOPS.

[@patrickdenengelse9293]

Che spettacolo Stefano. Con una vettura gemella Ascari finì in mare a Monaco nel GP '55. Al Museo Auto di Torino ne abbiamo un'altra ancora....

[@19Bozzy92]

Eh sì, mi son letto per bene tutta la storia, gran macchina

[@bio4546]

Fun fact: this is the first car where the engine is part of the chassis, thus acting as a stressed member, 14 years before the Lotus 49 and its Cosworth DFV...

[@donaldshannon3764]

I loved this car .. I had a scale model "slot car" modeled on it that I raced in 1964 - 1966. Still like it today!

[@yurixruz]

Quando Lancia faceva ancora auto serie e degne di nota..

[@TheMick26]

Hi Bozzy. As you know, I appreciate all the time and effort you put into these videos, the highly detailed description, etc. Fantastic footage, man! These cars were absolute beasts and sound so magical. I have seen them at Goodwood FOS, but the other scenes were new to me. Watching these things on actual city streets puts things into perspective and somehow makes me realize how different and special they are. I really enjoyed the show, mate. Have a great weekend!

[@19Bozzy92]

Hey Mick! Yep those "unseen" scenes are from the first edition of the Parco Valentino motor show in Turin in 2015 and that parade lap was a sort of Lancia D50's celebration. Believe or not but that car actually raced around those streets for the Gran Premio del Valentino. The race was held for 10 official times in alternate years and it was a non-valid race for the F1 championship (especially the 1952 and 1954 editions, since before 1950 the so called "F1 championship" didn't exist yet) but still an extra F1 event with the presence of famous drivers. The 1955 edition was won by Alberto Ascari with this Lancia D50. In any case those things simply sounds mental, love them. Thank you so much for the comment my friend! Wish you a lovely Sunday ;)

[@TheMick26]

19Bozzy92 That is so cool.😎 I would have never known that. You are a wealth of knowledge on motorsports, Bozzy. There are many others in the world with that knowledge and more, but the best ones take the time and don't mind sharing it. Very much appreciated! Cheers, bro!👍

Yes

[@sparkeyjones6261]

I used to watch F1 races live every year back in the 80's and early 90's. The sounds were also pretty amazing compared to current F1. Something about that hybrid engines they use now..... It's lost much of it's excitement for a spectator.

[@tonymontana3873]

Even sound better than the modern v8 f1s

[@svenska.våktare]

*Great machine with great engine! One of the finest that The Genious Vittorio Jano ever created! p.s. Ferrari likes to kill the competition (the true motorsport fans will understand me) ...*

[@jcgabriel1569]

The car in the first and last part of the video is demonstrated there as it won the race it was entered at that very place, the Gran Premio del Valentino at the Valentino park, Turin. The car being demonstrated is an original example, owned by Lancia themselves, the other cars in the video (the one with the green nosecone and the one with race no 17) were all rebuilt from many available original bits, apparently.

[@JaredR1996]

Back in the early 50s, F1 sounds like a mix between GT3s and NASCAR engine

[@jcgabriel1569]

In that case, you should search for the first cars that raced in the inaugural F1 World Driver's Championship. There were big, naturally aspirated 4.5 liter staight-6s, and V12s, and 1.5 liter supercharged straight-8s, straight-6s and V12s, and even a V16.

[@MyNameishidden-l2f]

is it Flat Plane crankshaft or Cross Plane Crankshaft?

[@identiticrisis]

Cross-plane. Back then they thought its better balance would result in a smoother running engine; once engine speeds rose, crank torsion became an issue and the flat-plane was actually smoother. On one of the featured cars (the "Ferrari") you can also see evidence for the other drawback, namely in the individual exhaust pipes per cylinder. Flat-planes are a lot simpler to package and tune the exhaust for performance. Both Coventry Climax and BRM subsequently went through this same process in the early '60s.

[@MyNameishidden-l2f]

just awesome..thanks for the serious knowledge

[@Berchol]

I had the same doubt.. Thanks a lot

Don't forget every car before 1966 is street legal because there was no regulation. You can actually drive this car down to the shops. Not sure why you'd want to but you can.

Wasn't this car taken over by Ferrari in 1955 developed more as Lancia backed out of F1 after Ascari died in their Lancia D50. And Enzo of course re-named it Ferrari D50.

[@jcgabriel1569]

Yes, hence the Ferrari shields on some of the cars. And Ascari didn't die in a D50, he died after he crashed a Ferrari sports car in a test drive at Monza.

[@driffbro3380]

Weird thing I realised about this is that NASCAR engines still sound like this 😂😂

[@saucecake2722]

ArmadiloBil yeah but the amazing thing is that NASCAR engines are up to 7 litres in displacement, this is only 2.5 it is a beautiful engine and proves high displacement isn't needed for a good sounding v8

[@darrellgrant7615]

Lol I thought the same thing

[@Charlie-Charlot]

look at the BRM v16, it has a small displacement of 1.5l but it produce around 600hp and sound like a nascar on steroids

[@saucecake2722]

Well... They could have used the back-end (which ferrari ended up doing so in a revised version) but placing the fuel tanks alongside the driver improved weight distribution.

[@josetomasfreire7261]

Why Lancia? if It has the cavallino on the chasis

[@richardverney6702]

This car was designed by Lancia and was well ahead of the competition. It is one of the great innovative Grand Prix cars with the fuel equally distributed in its panniers situated within the wheel base, which design also aided better aerodynamics. Unfortunately Lancia went bust before the car was fully developed (tyre design in particular was also a significant problem). Because it was the fasted car on the grid, the Italian Government insisted that it should be raced, and it was transferred to Ferrari together with Lancia's leading engineers/designers. FIAT provided Ferrari with the finance to race it, and the following year it won the world championship for Ferrari (not Lancia). Ferrari did not want to develop the car since it was not a Ferrari, and did not like running something better than a 'real' Ferrari, so it concentrated on creating a new vehicle. As a consequence the D50 never reached its full potential.

[@jcgabriel1569]

@@richardverney6702 no, they did develop the car the best they can, but the thing is, the regulations would ban alcohol-based fuel in 1958 in favour of Avgas, which proceeded to adversely affect all the engines that used to have alcohol fuels. This caused Ferrari to develop their F2 car, the 156 Dino, and give it a bigger engine, from 1.5 to 2.5L l, because the F2 class didn't use alcohol fuel anyway...
