I owned one of these for awhile and the only word that really describes the handling is "ponderous". It was quite a bit heaver (most of that weight concentrated just behind the front wheels) than a GTV and was fitted with skinny 400mm tires. I always liked the ornate design of these cars, but kept wishing it was a GTV. So I sold mine with no regrets. Lancia Flaminias, the 2600's direct competitor, is a far superior car in every way. 2600's feel so nose heavy I'm not sure if anyone can make them handle. Not my cup of tea, although the motor sounds great.
