Vibration Testing to Improve the Riding Comfort of a Vintage Luxury Car
22 March 2023
To improve the vibrational comfort of a 1960s vehicle gem - a Lancia Flaminia, we did some vibrational testing and analysis.
Currently, an enthusiastic vintage car collector owns the car. When the engine was running, he felt unexpected vibrations. Though he is very knowledgeable about NVH, he commissioned a Dewesoft customer, EASTING, to do the vibrational comfort analysis of his car.The Lancia Flaminia
Lancia was an Italian automobile manufacturer founded in 1906 and known for producing a range of luxury vehicles. Lancia introduced the first Flaminia in 1957, and the Italian car design firm and coachbuilder, Carrozzeria Pininfarina, designed the sedan version. The car was named after Via Flaminia, one of the great Roman roads laid down in 220 B.C. The free encyclopedia, Wikipedia, shares these facts about Lancia Flaminia:
The Lancia Flaminia (Tipo 813/823/824/826) is a luxury car produced by Italian automaker Lancia from 1957 until 1970. It was Lancia's flagship model at that time, replacing the Aurelia. It was available throughout its lifetime as a saloon, coupé, and cabriolet. The Flaminia coupé and convertible were coach-built cars with bodies from several prestigious Italian coachbuilders. Four "presidential" stretched limousine Flaminias were produced by Pininfarina for use on state occasions.
There were 12,633 Flaminias sold over 13 years. Coupés outsold the four-door saloon, an unusual occurrence otherwise seen at the time only in American compact and midsize models whose coupé versions were standard factory models that cost the same or less than the sedan, while the Flaminia coupés' coach-built bodies made them considerably more expensive than the limousine-like Berlina.”
Lancia introduced the first Flaminia in 1957, and the Italian car design firm and coachbuilder, Carrozzeria Pininfarina, designed the sedan version. The Flaminia was the last model developed before the carmaker went bankrupt and ended up being bought by Fiat in 1969.
The vehicle tested is owned by a collector with a passion for technology and vintage cars and is today used for weddings and other festive vents.
