Different Drummer (Lancia Lambda)




The video highlights the unusual engine note:

But most features of the car are unusual for the period: a unit body (and a 4-passenger performance car body at that), sliding pillar (independent) front suspension, a small V-4 o.h.c. engine.  Lancia never had the charisma of the other Italian marques (except maybe at home), but it never seemed to care.  Lancia just engineered and made cars that interested and challenged it.  Different drummer.
