1925 Lancia Lambda 5th Series Torpedo

The Lancia Lambda, a revolutionary automobile, was introduced at the Paris Auto Salon in 1922. Built between 1923 and 1931, the Lambda pioneered the unitary or monocoque method of car construction, where the body and chassis are built as one unit. Vincenzo Lancia was one of the most gifted and innovative engineers of all time, and the company that bears his name was the first car company to manufacture both a narrow-angle V4 engine and a V6 in series-production road cars. If that wasn't enough, it also pioneered the use of independent suspension.

This 5th Series Lancia Lambda is one of just over 1,000 built in 1925. It features rare Magnetti Marelli electrics and Zeiss headlights and is also fitted with Lancia's distinctive dog-leg windshield. The car was acquired by its current owner in 2016, and it has just been restored.
