Product Description
In the 1950s, the D50 racing car should have become the image representative of LANCIA in the F1 race. However, the D50 brought almost no new ideas. Famous car designer Vittorio Jano was entrusted to develop a racing car for LANCIA. This racing car not only required fashion and beauty, but also required speed. It was faster than competitors of the same type at that time, and at least able to fight against the powerful Mercedes-Benz Silver Sword at that time. W196.
On February 20, 1954, at the new car conference, Jano showed the outside world the chic and creative Bolide for the first time. The structural design of Vittorio Jano was extremely advanced at the time. The single-seater racing car used a 2.5-liter V8 engine with a power of 260 horsepower. The engine cylinders were arranged at 90 degrees, and the engine axis was set at 12 degrees to the left of the longitudinal axis of the car.
This arrangement shifts the engine drive shaft away from the car's central axis, providing valuable space for the driver's seat to be lowered, ultimately improving the car's aerodynamics. Another structural feature to be emphasized is that the engine becomes an integral part of the car's frame structure and thus acts as a stabilizing load-bearing member.
Another outstanding feature is that the layout of the two fuel tanks is very worthy of attention. Jano set up two long and narrow fuel tanks on the left and right sides of the body and between the front and rear wheels. This layout not only brings good aerodynamic characteristics to the car, but the 200-liter fuel tank capacity also eliminates the need for refueling during the race. It is based on the idea that driving characteristics will become more stable with less fuel in the tank, making it easier for the driver to predict in order to take appropriate driving behaviour. Compared with the rear fuel tank layout of competitors, the side fuel tank layout is obviously more advantageous.
The famous racing driver Juan Manuel Fangio won his fourth World Cup championship with this car.
After the LANCIA D50, CMC will also launch the 1956 version of the Ferrari LANCIA D50.
产品描述
上世纪五十年代，D50赛车本该在F1赛事中成为LANCIA的形象代表，然而，D50却几乎没有带来新意。著名汽车设计师Vittorio Jano获得了为LANCIA研发一款赛车的委托，这款赛车不仅要求时尚、漂亮，更要求快捷，速度要快过当时同类型的竞争对手，至少能够对抗当时强大的奔驰银剑W196。
1954年2月20日在新车发布会上，Jano第一次向外界展示了别致而极具创意的火流星。Vittorio Jano的结构设计在当时极其超前，该单座赛车采用一台2.5升V8发动机，功率为260马力，发动机气缸呈90度排列，发动机轴线与汽车纵轴线呈左偏12度设置。
这个布局使得发动机传动轴偏离汽车中轴线，为驾驶座降低高度提供了宝贵的空间，最终改善了整车的空气动力学特征。另一个需要强调的结构特征是，发动机成为了汽车框架结构的一个组成部分，因此，起到了承重构件的稳定作用。
另外一个突出的特点是，两个油箱的布局非常值得关注。Jano在左右车身两侧、前后轮之间设置了两个狭长的油箱，这个布局不仅给赛车带来了良好的空气动力学特征，200升的油箱容量也使得在比赛期间不再需要补充加油。它是基于这样的理念，驾驶特性将随着油箱燃料的减少更趋稳定，对于司机也方便预估，以便采取适当的驾驶行为。相对于竞争对手的尾部油箱布局，侧面油箱布局显而易见更具优势。
在LANCIA车队曾经有两位赫赫有名的优秀车手在此效力，一个是在1952年和1953年连续两次夺得GP世界冠军的Alberto Ascari，以及Luigi Villoresi。随后又有其他著名车手陆续加入。
LANCIA D50赛车的首次亮相是在1954年10月24日的西班牙巴塞罗那大奖赛。Alberto Ascri在排位赛中取得了最佳成绩，由此拿到杆位。但是，在正赛中他却因故障退出。1955年Ascari赢得了在意大利举行的并不计算在世界冠军赛在内的F1比赛。在摩纳哥大奖赛上Ascari先前处于领先位置，但后来却不幸冲出赛道，连人带车掉入了港湾。
Ascari在意大利蒙扎的一次私人测试驾驶过程中发生了灾难性的致命车祸，加之财务预算出现困难，LANCIA车队不得不出售给法拉利，其中也包括LANCIA D50赛车。
随后，法拉利的工程师对LANCIA D50进行了系统的改造，改进后的赛车被命名为法拉利LANCIA D50，从1956年起开始参加各类GP大奖赛。
著名赛车手Juan Manuel Fangio正是凭借该赛车，赢得了他的第四个世界杯冠军。
CMC在LANCIA D50之后还将推出1956年版的法拉利LANCIA D50。
