The Lancia Lambda is an innovative automobile produced from 1922 through 1931. It was the first car to feature a load-bearing monocoque-type body, (but without a stressed roof) and it also pioneered the use of an independent suspension (the front sliding pillar with coil springs). Vincenzo Lancia even invented a shock absorber for the car and it had excellent four wheel brakes. Approximately 11,200 Lambdas were produced. Nine versions of the Lambda were built: * 1st series, produced 1923, 400 built. * 2nd series, produced between 1923 and 1924, 1,100 built. Minor modifications for engine. * 3rd series, produced 1924, 800 built. Engine modified. * 4th series, produced between 1924 and 1925, 850 built. Modified windscreen. * 5th series, produced 1925, 1,050 built. 4-speed gearbox. * 6th series, produced between 1925 and 1926, 1,300 built. Car is sold now with bare chassis and with two wheelbases. * 7th series, produced between 1926 and 1928, 3,100 built. New bigger engine. * 8th series, produced between 1928 and 1930, 3,903 built. Again bigger engine. * 9th series, produced 1931, 500 built. Last series sold only bare chassis. ==Engines== The narrow-angle aluminum Lancia V4 engine was also notable. All three displacements shared the same long stroke, and all were SOHC designs with a single camshaft serving both banks of cylinders. First engine had 13° V angle, second 14° and 3rd 13° 40'. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lancia Lambda」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
