01 / THE STORY
History & context
The Lancia Lambda Limousine Coupé Touring (1929) was coachbuilt by Touring. Developed during a period of significant innovation in automotive design, the Lambda model was notable for its advanced construction techniques, utilizing a lightweight steel body that contrasted with the heavier wood-framed designs prevalent at the time. The design process involved meticulous attention to proportions and styling, resulting in a streamlined silhouette that was both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Mechanically, the Lambda was equipped with a unique chassis and suspension design that provided enhanced stability and handling. Surviving documentation indicates that the vehicle featured a sophisticated layout, which allowed for improved driving dynamics. The Lambda was powered by a V8 engine, reflecting Lancia’s commitment to performance and engineering excellence.
