Lancia Didelta

The Lancia Didelta, probably also called the Lancia 20/30 HP Spinto Corsa or Lancia Type 57, was a competition car that Lancia built in 1911 on the basis of the contemporary Delta 20/30 HP. Information is almost non-existent, but it seems that a further uprated sporting version of the Delta was made in modest numbers. Apart from power and speed, its main technical features should not differ much from the Delta, an inline four-cylinder of about 4.1 litres, with a top speed estimated at over 120 km/h. Driven by Mario Cortese, it set the fastest lap in the sixth Targa Florio in 1911 and finished second overall, behind the SCAT of Ernesto Ceirano.
