1926 Lancia Lambda
Lancia Lambda
Production: 19221931
Manufacturer: Lancia
Engine: 2119 cc Lancia V4
2370 cc Lancia V4
2568 cc Lancia V4


The Lancia Lambda was an innovative automobile produced from 1922 through 1931. It was the first car to feature a load-bearing monocoque-type body, and it also pioneered the use of an independent suspension (the front sliding pillar with coil springs). Lancia even invented a shock absorber for the car. Approximately 11,200 Lambdas were produced.

The narrow-angle aluminum Lancia V4 engine was also notable. All three displacements shared the same long 120 mm stroke, and all were SOHC designs with a single camshaft serving both banks of cylinders.

Engines:

  • 2119 cc (75 mm bore, 13° vee), 49 hp (36.5 kW) at 3250 rpm
  • 2370 cc (79.37 mm bore, 14° vee), 59 hp (44 kW) at 3250 rpm
  • 2568 cc (82.55 mm bore, 13°40' vee), 69 hp (51.5 kW) at 3500 rpm
