The Lancia Flavia was also the first Italian car with a boxer engine and front-wheel drive. This concept of "everything forwards" was developed by the engineer Antonia Fessia and for the first time in Italy, disc brakes were fitted as standard on all four wheels, which also served to improve safety.
