Lancia’s technical evolution from a basic four cylinder to a remarkable narrow-angle V12.
A review by Pete Vack
The technical development and history of automobile and aero engines from Fiat, Alfa Romeo and Ferrari have been thoroughly examined. There is little, if anything, left to know, research or publish.
Not so with Lancia. But now, Geoffrey Goldberg, Lancia historian, author and architect from Chicago, helps fill the gaps with this technical investigation of the first Lancia V engines.

From 1922 to 1976, Lancia largely used a series of unique narrow angle V4 and V8 engines in their cars. And while the later 60º V6 and the Flavia flat 4 of 1960 were not of this family, all of their other cars for fifty years used these narrow V engines, a rather unconventional focus for such a prestigious car manufacturer.
