Lancia Trevi
The Lancia Trevi (Type 828) is a saloon car which was produced between 1980 and 1984. It had transversely mounted in-line four cylinder engines driving the front wheels. Its engines had twin overhead camshafts and electronic ignition. The clutch was a single dry plate with diaphragm and a five-speed gearbox was standard. The suspension consisted of MacPherson struts all round with coil springs and anti-roll bar. The wheels were fitted with 185/65 14 inch tyres (Pirelli P6). Steering was rack and pinion. The manufacturer's estimated fuel consumption was 29.4 mpg (9,6l/100km)at 75 mph for the 1600 manual and 28 mpg (10,1l/100km) at 75 mph for the 2000 manual. The 2000 fitted with an automatic transmission had an official fuel consumption of 25.4 mpg (11,1l/100km)at 75 mph.〔''Lancia Trevi'' (brochure), May 1981, p. 8〕
The Lancia Beta Trevi was presented at the Turin Auto Show in May 1980. It was presented to the UK market at the Birmingham Motor show of November 1980.〔''CAR Magazine'', November 1980, p. 77〕 Much of the car was derived from the Lancia Beta. The most powerful version of the Trevi was introduced in 1982 - this Volumex (VX) version had a supercharger. The name stems from the Italian "Tre Volumi" (three-box).
==History==
Developed from the Lancia Beta, the Trevi (or Beta Trevi as it was called until 1982) was introduced in 1980. The chief engineer for the Beta was Sergio Camuffo who was also responsible for the original Beta and the Gamma and numerous other models.〔''Autocar & Motor'', March 28, 1990, p. 73〕 The Beta, which was fitted with the same interior as the Trevi, was sold for two years alongside the Trevi (and sold as the Beta Berlina) Sales literature from Lancia emphasised that the car was both luxurious and sporting in nature.〔''Lancia Trevi'' (brochure), May 1981, p. 2〕 Lancia's intention was that the restyled Beta would to help re-establish Lancia's credibility after the debacle of the rusting Betas: "Lancia´s position took an unreasonably big knock as a result of the revelation that they were buying back cars with corroded sub-frame mounting points...a new Lancia today - thanks to the over-compensation that was necessary to make their point - promises to be as rust resistant as any of its rivals" wrote UK's ''Autocar'' in 1981.〔''Autocar'', July 11, 1981〕 The review continued to say the Trevi was "a conventional three-box saloon...it is a Beta under its skin but most the body panels and the interior are completely new." The sales literature explained that the designers set out to create a classic three-box saloon.〔 The appearance of the car drew this comment from Autocar: "The Trevi is, to most eyes, a rather curious looking car, an odd combination of curves and angles, that produces an incipient spoiler from the slight upturn at the rear of the roof panel". The introduction of a saloon body-style was part of a general conservative trend in which existing fastback cars or unusually-styled cars were given more conventional appearances. The VW Golf body was given a boot in 1979 to become the VW Jetta, the Citroën Visa gained a grill as did the Fiat Ritmo, and the fastback Simca 1307 was restyled with a boot and sold as a Solara, and the Saab 900 was sold in booted form as the 900 CD〔Tumminelli, Paolo ( 2011) Car Design Europe. teNeues, Kempen, Germany. p.267. ISBN 978-3-8327-9459-0〕 "The residents of Staid Lane" wrote Tumminelli, "preferred conformity...as a courtesy to Reagan, Thatcher and Kohl, the old-fashioned saloon, standard bearer of the bourgeouisie, must be reanimated".〔Tumminelli, Paolo (2011) Car Design Europe. teNeues, Kempen, Germany. p. 275. ISBN 978-3-8327-9459-0〕
The Trevi was available initially with two engines, a 1600 and 2000, both fitted with Weber or Solex carburetors.〔''Autocar'', August 1981, p. 20〕 In the UK automatic transmission was optional only on the larger engined cars. In 1981 Bosch electronic ignition was made available on the 2000IE models. This allowed the engine to produce 122 bhp at 6,400 rpm (compared to 115 bhp at 5,500 rpm). The Trevi Volumex was the last version of the car, introduced in 1982 at the Turin motor show 〔Motor, September 25, 1982, page 29〕 and designed to improve performance without affecting fuel economy. Fitted with a twin scroll Roots-type supercharger (and carburettors, rather than the expected fuel injection), this increased output to . This development meant the Trevi was the first car fitted with a mechanically-driven supercharger in nearly five decades. It had revised front seats, a matt-black chin spoiler and plusher trim,〔Motor, 25 September 1982. Page 29.〕 with the seats upholstered in Zegna materials.〔Pirotte (Le Moniteur de l'Automobile), p. 35〕 As for the 2000IE, the Volumex also received a much-praised power steering from ZF as standard.〔Pirotte (Le Moniteur de l'Automobile), pp. 30-31〕 Lancia UK did not import this version of the car to Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Production of the Trevi was discontinued in 1984. In total 36,784 examples of the Trevi were produced.〔Clarke, p. 7〕
