The permanent collaboration between Lancia and Zagato for the production of light sporting cars started with the Appia model and continued with the Flaminia and Flavia range. In 1965 Lancia presented at the Geneva Motor Show the Fulvia Coupé and few months later at the Turin Motor Show Zagato presented its version designed by Ercole Spada.
The engine was the same of the production car its higher speed and smaller consumption were the result of better aerodynamics and lighter body. The production of the 7.102 units of the Fulvia Sport by Zagato ended in 1972 and all the cars were built in coupé form. Only two cabriolet were built. The first was introduced at the 1968 Turin Motor Show.
Elio Zagato built a second prototype for the Spanish importer of the Zagato who wanted to present it at the Motor Show in Barcelona to collect orders for a small series. Only this one survives today.
