I think the death you're thinking of is Alberto Ascari, who was Lancia's GP driver in 1955. But he actually died while testing a Ferrari at Monza. Lancia was losing money (in large part because of the enormous costs of the F1 team), so the Lancia family sold off controlling interest in the company. That led the new owners to transfer the assets of Scuderia Lancia to Scuderia Ferrari near the end of the 1955 season. So it was known as the Lancia D50 from 1954 through most of 1955, Lancia-Ferrari D50 at the end of the 1955 season, Ferrari D50 in 1956, and Ferrari 801 in 1957.

It's another cutaway, but the vehicle represented also has its engine positioned at an angle.

And it's a Jensen CV8, for those unfamiliar.

Edit: Oops, I didn't realize I was tree'd. Apologies for not amending the post.
