Summary

In 1976, Lancia presented the Gamma series, consisting of a hatchback saloon and a stunningly designed notchback coupé. With a four-cylinder boxer engine, the vehicles were sufficiently motorized, but the competition offered six or more cylinders for less money in some cases. The luxury class Lancia thus remained a marginal phenomenon and was withdrawn from the range in 1984. This report looks back at the history of the Lancia Gamma Coupé and shows an example from 1982 in detail, supplemented by historical photographs and pictures of two concept cars based on the same model.

A suit from "Brioni", as James Bond likes to wear it, is like many beautiful things in this world: it may be more beautiful, but it is not necessarily more comfortable and it does not necessarily last longer. And because beauty is more expensive, it is often also more exclusive. This is also true of the Lancia Gamma Coupé, masterfully designed by Pininfarina. It looked dazzling, was at the cutting edge of technology and remained a rarity, not least because of its price. But you were really well "dressed" with it. Aldo Brovarone, working for Pininfarina, was in charge when it came to building a sports car that would both replace the very elegant Fiat 130 Coupé and use the technical basis of the Gamma saloon designed by Pininfarina at the same time.
