Lancia

At the 1976 Geneva Motor Show the Lancia Gamma was introduced. It was a four-door saloon resembling a hatchback, but with a conventional boot at the rear. Though Fiat had planned to use one of their V6 engines, Lancia developed unique flat-4 engines for the Gamma, enabling Pininfarina chief stylist Aldo Brovarone to lower the coupé's bonnet line and to steeply rake its windscreen. Initially available with a displacement of 2,484 cc, it was later joined by a 1,999 cc version. In 1977, a two-door coupé was added to the range. In total, 15,272 saloons and 6,790 coupé's had been manufactured.
