(1976 - 1984)
Car articles about Lancia Beta Coupe 1300 by year
Forty years old, the Lancia Beta series has matured into a classic. This applies to the now rare saloon as well as the pretty coupé, the open Spider variant, the practical HPE and the sporty Montecarlo. This report briefly introduces the reader to the model series and shows the different variants in old and new pictures, supplemented by sales brochures from the time.
After Fiat had rescued the luxury brand Lancia in 1969, the Beta Series 2 in particular was intended to revive Lancia sales from 1976. The factory promised "a comfort sedan that is unparalleled in its class". The stylistically and technically revised Beta also had sporting talent. This test report from 1976 explains whether the hoped-for success would have been possible.
Based on the Lancia Beta Berlina presented in 1972, a whole range of variants was created. The HPE sports estate impressed with its elegance, sportiness and versatility, but the early examples have become very rare. This driving report is about a 1600 version and is based on current and historical images.
When the Lancia Beta Montecarlo was launched in 1975, there was actually already a mid-engined sports car in the Lancia range, namely the Stratos, which rushed from rally victory to rally victory. And the Montecarlo should actually have been born as a Fiat, but as is so often the case, everything turned out differently. The compact sports car remained exclusive and ultimately reached customers in two series, while racing modifications ensured success in the one-make world championship and the DRM. This driving report portrays a Lancia Montecarlo from the second series and tells its story, illustrated with many pictures from then and now, supplemented by a sales brochure and a sound sample.
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 The luxury class Lancia thus remained a marginal phenomenon and was withdrawn from the range in 1984.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.
