First displayed at the Bologna Motorshow in 1986, the ECV1
(Experimental Composite Vehicle) was a composite technology
concept car testing the use of carbon, kevlar, thermosetting and
thermoplastic resins, glassfibre and honeycomb in car
production. It was also considered Lancia's prototype Group S
car (a formula which never came to fruit). It was a further
development of the S4, featuring the same basic design, with
many of the components now made from composites, including the
main, load bearing part of the body. Other composite parts
included the wheels (8x16" wheels weighing only 6kg !) and the
propshaft. It was powered by a 1759cc twin turbo (two KKK units)
engine producing 600bhp @ 8,000rpm using a new design known as
"triflux" where the two turbochargers were used sequentially
depending on the engine speed. An overall weight of 930kg was
achieved. 3 shoots of the interiors my cat want his part XD a
important part of this car is the engine: the triflux, but, what
is a triflux?? The 1800cc power unit of
