01 / THE STORY
History & context
The Lancia Lambda (1929) was coachbuilt by Stabilimenti Farina. The Lancia Lambda was developed during a period marked by significant advancements in automotive design and engineering. As one of the earliest models to utilize a unitary body structure, the Lambda showcased innovative construction methods that contributed to its strength and reduced weight. The coachbuilding process involved meticulous attention to proportions, resulting in a streamlined silhouette that reflected the stylistic context of the late 1920s.
Mechanically, the Lancia Lambda featured a notable configuration with a unique V4 engine, which was engineered for improved performance and efficiency. The chassis, numbered 20667, was designed to accommodate the advanced engineering of the era, including independent front suspension, which enhanced ride comfort and handling dynamics. The overall layout exemplified Lancia’s commitment to pioneering automotive technology.
Production data indicates that the Lambda was limited in number, with surviving examples documented in various collections. The model was exhibited at notable automotive shows of its time, drawing attention for its innovative design and engineering prowess. Documentation indicates that surviving examples are recorded in private collections and institutional archives, providing reference for researchers of postwar coachbuilding.
