The Italian automaker Lancia will unveil a special edition Ypsilon created in collaboration with the ELLE brand at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show. ELLE is a symbol of modern femininity that sets trends each season with a vast range of women’s clothing and accessories and is the perfect accompaniment for any woman on the go. The car is covered in a very unique metalluro-effect pink and is highlighted with chrome plated features as well as other intricate details. The reflective metallic theme continues into the radiator grille, rear bumper, door handles and moldings. However the matching pink 16 inch wheels are sure to be a favorite for women everywhere.
The interior of the ELLE Ypsilon is wrapped in special purple leather and Alcantara upholstery complete with contrasting stitching with bright white leather piping. The little Lancia also features some very fine trim that was chosen for its bright white color and fabric like feel. The car’s cool color scheme is carried over with the easy on the eyes chrome interior displays and center console that is sure to please even the pickiest of women. If that doesn’t work, the purple seat matching shift gate and gemstones are sure to win her over.

Lancia will present in Geneva the "Angels and Demons" collection created to celebrate the presence of Lancia’s models in the Columbia Sony Pictures’ Angels and Demons, a film based on the bestseller of the same name by Dan Brown. This is a follow-up to The Da Vinci Code, also directed by Ron Howard and with Tom Hanks in the role of Professor Langdon.
The participation of Delta in the film seems natural as it summarizes the characteristics of the Lancia range: “Angels for emissions and Demons for performance”. In this sense, then, it is possible to see a very strong parallel between the dualism expressed in the title of the film and the characteristics we find in the cars in the Lancia range – Delta, Musa and Ypsilon – whose advanced engines (1.9 liter 190 HP Twinturbo Multijet, 1.3 liter 95 HP Multijet and 1.3 liter 105 HP Multijet) are at the top of their respective categories for low C02 emissions and the high power delivered.

Lancia is the brand that perpetuates the stereotype of mid-priced Italian cars more than any other brand. Historically, its designs are the most likely to make your heart flutter; its engine and handling will make your adrenaline rush; and its tendency to rust while still in the showroom will make your blood boil. The last reason is why it is no longer sold in the U.S.
But Lancia is poised for a comeback, including sales to England again, and so they are going after car-lovers hearts once again. It will present version of its Ypsilon small car at the Paris Auto Show a model built in collaboration with the Versace Group brand. The car will be limited to only 500 units and will go on sale from March 2009.
The car features special Bronzino Bronze body color that bears a screen-printed ‘Versus’ logo on the roof. The exterior also boasts bronze 16" alloy rims. The original bronze chrome finish is also repeated on the grille, handles, molding on the doors and rear bumpers and tailgate handle, sporting the Versus logo.
The same personality is evident inside, as borne out by special upholstery produced with a band in a cloth that recalls the world of fashion – and a central area in brown leather with a ‘Versus’ logo heat-printed in relief, just as on the accessories produced by the fashion brand.
