The Lancia Augusta was produced by Italian automanufacturer Lancia between 1933-1936. The car was powered by a 1196 cc Lancia V4 engine.
During the 1920s Lancia had been known as producers of sports cars and middle sized sedans: the smaller Augusta represented a departure from that tradition, and contributed to a significant growth in Lancia's unit sales during the 1930s. Nevertheless, in terms of volumes sold, the Augusta was overwhelmed by Fiat's much more aggressively priced 508 Ballila.

[edit] Lancia Belna
Lancia had started French operations in Paris on October 1, 1931. There were built Augusta and the Aprilia models named as Belna Ardennes. Aprilia was built around 1,500 and Augusta around 3,000.
Between 1934 and 1938 was built around 3,000 (2,500 saloons and 500 bare chassis) Lancia Belnas based on Augusta in France. Georges Paulin had invented retractable hardtop and sold it to French coachbuilder Marcel Pourtout. Carrossiere Pourtout built several models based on French Belna.
