Lancia Pu+Ra HPE
Lancia Pu+Ra HPE is the brand’s manifesto for the next 10 years, a 100% electric concept car that embodies the brand’s vision in terms of design, interior home feeling, sustainability, electrification and effortless technology. It is a drivable car with an unconventional sleek body for maximum efficiency, with a vision in terms of range, charging time & efficiency. It is the first car of the new Lancia era, a low roof, 4 doors, inspired by the world of Italian interior design, thanks to the collaboration with Cassina, leader in the upscale furniture industry, for a typically Italian home feeling experience. The name Lancia Pu+Ra HPE is based on Pu+Ra, the brand's new pure and radical design language, whereas HPE stands for High-Performance Electric. This concept car fully embodies the principles of the new Lancia design, where the volumes of the car are created from the intersection of elementary geometric shapes, such as the circle and triangle, combined with certain iconic details of the brand's heritage, such as the Venetian blinds seen in the Lancia Beta HPE. Lancia Pu+Ra HPE features 70% tactile surfaces made with eco-friendly materials that epitomize the Italian spirit, redesigned tradition and the “home feeling”. Lancia Pu+Ra HPE is the first car equipped with S.A.L.A. infotainment, which centralizes the audio, climate control and lighting functions, enabling the environment inside the car to be adapted at the touch of a button or by the sound of the voice.
