It also marked the end of Gianni Lancia\u2019s dream to stay competitive, if not victorious, in the highest form of motorsports.<\/p>\n<p>On July 26, 1955, there was a hand-over of the D50 blueprints, tooling, manufacturing equipments, and lots of parts from Lancia to its most covetous competitor, Scuderia Ferrari.<\/p>\n<p>Ferrari introduced an overhaul of the D50. It brimmed with brilliant renovations, hence putting the new D50 on a path of destiny towards triumph.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the most important improvements:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The two pannier fuel tanks that were positioned astride the mid-section of Lancia D50 were replaced by a single fuel tank placed directly behind the driver\u2019s seat.<\/li>\n<li>The bodywork was extended to encompass the two independent spaces once occupied by the pannier tanks, and the more integrated body shell provided better aerodynamics.<\/li>\n<li>Down below, behind the left- and right-side panels were two bundles of exhaust pipes, each with four pipes that were bent to protrude before the rear wheel, emitting both exhaust and distinctively Ferrari roar.<\/li>\n<li>The maximum output was increased to 265 hp, and further enhancement was possible by changes of cylinder heads, valve control, crankshaft and pistons.<\/li>\n<li>The two oil coolers between the pannier tanks and the body shell were abandoned for a tube oil cooler installed in front of the radiator.<\/li>\n<li>Modifications were introduced to the tubular frame and the suspension systems, including the relocation of the rear transverse leaf spring to a higher horizontal position.<\/li>\n<li>The tires were switched from the Pirelli brand to Englebert.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Eventually with a total of five Grand Prix victories to his credit, Juan Manuel Fangio was able to finish the 1956 season by clinching his fourth Drivers\u2019 World Championship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After taking over the D50 project from Lancia, Enzo Ferrari was busy turning the newly-acquired Grand Prix racer into a \u201ctrump card,\u201d and Scuderia Ferrari was heading for a very successful season in 1956.
