The '''Lancia D50''' was a [[Formula One]] [[racing car]] designed by [[Vittorio Jano]] for [[Lancia]] in 1954. The car's design made use of many innovative features, such as the use of the engine as a stressed chassis member, the off-centre positioning of the engine to allow a lower overall height, and pannier fuel cells for better [[weight distribution]] and aerodynamics.<ref name=ultimate2/>  Six of the cars were built, and two of them are displayed in Italian museums.<ref name="conceptcarz.com">{{cite web|url=http://www.conceptcarz.com/vehicle/z13757/Lancia_D50.aspx|title=1954 Lancia D50|access-date=2008-02-20|work=conceptcarz.com}}</ref>

==Description==
[[File:Lancia - Ferrari D50 engine.JPG|thumb|left|The Jano designed V-8 in the D50]]
[[File:Lancia D50 of Scuderia Ferrari.jpg|thumb|Lancia D50 of Scuderia Ferrari]]
The D50 made its race debut toward the end of the [[1954 Formula One season]] in the hands of two-time and reigning World Champion, Italian driver [[Alberto Ascari]]. In its first event Ascari took both pole position in qualifying and fastest race lap, although his car's clutch failed after only ten laps.<ref name=chicaneF1>{{cite web|title= Car Model: Lancia D50 |url= http://www.chicanef1.com/indiv.pl?name=Lancia%20D50&type=M |work= www.ChicaneF1.com |access-date= 2008-02-17 }}</ref> Following Ascari's death, and in increasing financial trouble, the Lancia family sold their controlling share in the Lancia company, and the assets of Scuderia Lancia were given to [[Scuderia Ferrari]]. Ferrari continued to develop the car, although they removed many of Jano's most innovative designs,<ref name=ddavid/> and the car was rebadged as the "'''Lancia-Ferrari D50'''" and later simply the "'''Ferrari D50'''". [[Juan Manuel Fangio]] won the [[1956 World Championship of Drivers]] with this car modified by Ferrari.<ref name="conceptcarz.com"/> During their competition lifespan D50s were entered into 14 World Championship Formula One Grands Prix, winning five.
==Ferrari 801==

The D50s lived on into the 1957 season, much modified as "'''Ferrari 801s'''" but were largely uncompetitive against the latest generation of [[Maserati 250F]]s.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/car/1058/Ferrari-801.html |title=1957 Ferrari 801 – Images, Specifications and Information |publisher=Ultimatecarpage.com |access-date=2010-09-30}}</ref>
