Lancia Augusta & Belna (1933 to 1936)

The Lancia Augusta is a small passenger car produced by Italian car manufacturer Lancia between 1933 and 1936. The car was powered by a 1,196 cc Lancia V4 engine. During the 1920s, Lancia had been known as producers of sports cars and middle sized sedans: the smaller Augusta represented a departure from that tradition, and contributed to a significant growth in Lancia's unit sales during the 1930s. At its first factory outside of Italy, at Bonneuil-sur-Marne, Lancia built the Augusta model, although named it the Lancia Belna.
