Let’s journey back to the golden age of the automotive industry to explore this technological marvel that changed the game. In 1922, Vincenzo Lancia introduced the Lambda, a car that stood out from the standards of its time. The Lambda was the world’s first car to feature a monocoque chassis, an innovation that laid the foundation for modern automotive design. This groundbreaking chassis, combined with independent wheel suspension, endowed the Lambda with exceptional maneuverability and driving comfort, setting new standards for on-road performance. But there’s more: under the hood, a V4 engine with 8 valves beats, incorporating cutting-edge technologies like the use of lightweight alloy in the cylinder head. This configuration allowed the Lambda to achieve remarkable performance for its time, with adequate power and extraordinary fuel efficiency. The vintage Lancia Lambda wasn’t just an engineering marvel; it was a work of art on wheels. Its elegant design, flowing lines, and meticulous attention to detail combine to create an unparalleled driving experience. The refined interiors crafted from premium materials and the artisanal care put into every vehicle conveyed a sense of luxury and class. Every twist of the road became an adventure with the Lancia Lambda. Through its history rich in innovations, extraordinary performance, and timeless design, this vintage car has become an icon that captures the imagination of all automobile enthusiasts and history lovers. A journey aboard a Lancia Lambda is a return to the past that will leave you breathless as you explore the roots of modern automotive engineering.
Our Lancia Lambda
The star of our journey dates back to 1928. After changing hands multiple times, it arrived in England, where, abandoned and in poor condition, it was purchased in 1999 by Lanfranco Bianchini, the father of Tommaso (one of the members of the FPP team). Lanfranco, a lifelong enthusiast of vintage cars and engines, decided to fulfill a long-held dream by acquiring this automobile. He embarked on a restoration journey that lasted over 3 years to bring it to its current condition. The car participated in the 2017/2018/2019 editions of the historic Mille Miglia, and two editions of the Coppa d’Oro delle Dolomiti. It also took part in various competitions in Tuscany, such as the Florence/Siena and Florence/Fiesole races.
