A Revolutionary Italian Grand Tourer

Lancia has long been recognized as one of the most innovative automotive manufacturers, pushing the boundaries of engineering and design. The Dilambda, introduced in 1928, was a top-of-the-line model that aimed to compete with the finest luxury and sports cars of its time.

A 1930 review from Motorsport Magazine described the Dilambda as a car that truly stood out:
"Many cars of today base their claims to individuality on such trifling points of design or equipment, that their specification might almost equally well serve for nine cars out of ten. There are, however, still a few designs which break new ground regardless of the common herd, and of these the latest Lancia product stands out as something of absorbing interest to all students of automobiles."

Innovative Engineering & Performance

While the Dilambda followed the design philosophy of Lancia’s famous Lambda model, incorporating independent front suspension, it was an entirely new vehicle in many respects.

Technical Highlights:

3,958cc narrow-angle V8 engine, delivering exceptional smoothness and power
Single overhead camshaft (SOHC) configuration, ensuring precise performance
Top-of-the-line luxury and sporting refinement, making it a direct competitor to the best grand touring cars of its era

The Dilambda was a flagship model, showcasing Lancia’s commitment to cutting-edge technology, sophisticated engineering, and avant-garde design.
