Rare Italian V8: 1930 Lancia Dilambda

Lancia Dilambda is a passenger car that was manufactured by Lancia between 1928 and 1935. In 1929, the car was formally unveiled at the Paris Motor Show. The engine is a 4 litre V8 with a 24 degree V angle.
The Dilambda was produced in three variants:
The first series, constructed between 1928 and 1931, totaled 1,104 units.
The second series, manufactured between 1931 and 1933, totaled 300 units. Gearbox and brakes have been modified.
Third series, manufactured between 1933 and 1935, totaling 281 units. It was created with an extended wheelbase and a modified chassis for a more aerodynamic appearance.

About Italian V8: 1930 Lancia Dilambda
The Lancia Dilambda was constructed in three series between 1928 and 1935. The Series 1 versions were manufactured until 1931, therefore the 1930 specimen seen here is an older type. The bodywork for the Lancia Dilambda were designed by British coachbuilder Carlton. The coachbuilding firm was started in 1924, just four years before the launch of the Dilambda. Each Lancia Dilambda had a distinct appearance, since it was still the Golden Age of coachbuilding, when you could order a chassis with an engine and a distinctive body to your requirements.

While most Lancia cars had modest engines, the Dilambda was a high-end model aimed for the American market. As such, it was equipped with a 4.0-liter, 24-degree V-8 engine. At first look, the engine seemed to be a large inline-four due to the tight angle. It had 100 horsepower (74 kilowatts), which the owner believes is enough for roughly 90 mph (145 km/h). There was unique aerodynamic bodywork, but these were only available on Series 3 long-wheel-base models.

Aside from having a lot of power (for the time), the Lancia Dilambda also had a sliding pillar and independent front suspension. While the technique goes back to 1898, in the early 1920s, Vincenzo Lancia modernized it by integrating a hydraulic shock absorber in the sliding pillar. The Lancia Dilambda also included drum brakes on both axles at a period when most vehicles only had rear-wheel brakes. They were still cable-operated mechanical brakes in the Dilambda, but with a vacuum-actuated servo.

Lancia is now owned by Stellantis, and after many years of neglect, the automotive giant wants to relaunch three new models between 2024 and 2028. Lancia, like the majority of Stellantis' brands, intends to go all-electric, with plans to phase out gasoline and diesel cars by 2028.
