Fiat Auto's Lancia — makers of luxurious oddballs like the Thesis (and the previous Pope's one-off Dialogos Giubileo) — will reportedly wipe the cosmoline off a new concept at the Biennale del Cinema di Venezia next week. The image above is likely a speculative rendering of what the concept may look like, though how the final design will translate into the company's new Delta HPE model, due in 2008, is anyone's guess. At the least, the concept will introduce a design language that, for the first time in half a decade, won't be influenced by farm animals.
