The Lancia Montecarlo was a mid-engine sports car sold in the 1970s. A low-power version, the Scorpion, was sold in the United States at the same time. Spider versions of the Montecarlo featured a unique roll-back manually operated targa style convertible top.
The car was known as the X1/8 (later the X1/20) while in development, and was intended to be a Fiat-branded 'big brother' to the Fiat X1/9. It had a similar mid-engine layout, with a larger engine and roomier interior.
The car was passed to Lancia, and was constructed by Pininfarina, the original design company, in Turin, Italy. Production lasted from 1975 through 1979 for the first series, with a second version launched in 1980.
Scorpion
The US-market Lancia Scorpion and was modified to meet U.S. emissions, lighting and crash test requirements.
