Lancia Ypsilon, 2024. Though designed in-house at the Stallantis Torino Centro Stile the new Y references design details from Lancia's past. The car's front adapts the wide-angle "grin" from Bertone's Lancia Kayak concept revealed in 1995 while the round taillights are directly linked to Bertone's Lancia Stratos HF from 1971. It is ironic that the new Lancia draws from Bertone's Lancia portfolio because far more series production Lancia's were designed at Pininfarina
