Bologna Motor Show

08.12.2005 The absolute star of the Lancia stand in Bologna this week is the new Ypsilon MomoDesign, the three brightly coloured models on show vying for visitors' attention

The absolute star of the Lancia stand in Bologna is the Ypsilon MomoDesign, a new beefier-looking version of the Ypsilon that is also very trendy. It was created jointly by Lancia and the MomoDesign Style Centre, which share innovation in design, the use of cutting-edge materials and attention to detail. That is why in this new version of the Ypsilon the sporty look is emphasised together with the refined elegance that has always distinguished Lancia models.

Visitors to the Bologna show can admire three examples in different body-colours that enhance their dynamic look. The chosen colour combination is absolutely original. This version marks the first appearance on a large-scale production vehicle of the matte metallic black shade on the tailgate, roof and pillars, combined on the first vehicle with Orange, on the second with Red and on the third with Black (all non-metallic shades). Stunning Glamour cloth has been used to trim the seats. The colour chosen for the side strips is black combined with orange, red and magnesium on the seat area depending on the exterior shade.
