Lancia does not build many cars like the Lancia 2000: a 4-door sedan (car) / saloon / 2-door coupé with 1991 cc Lancia H4, built from 1971 to 1975 as the oil crises and the first emissions rules rewired the industry. Its designer of record is Piero Castagnero (saloon) / Pininfarina (coupé). Production ran to 17,066 cars.
The background
The Lancia 2000 (Tipo 820) is a series of automobiles produced by Italian automaker Lancia between 1971 and 1975. It was the last vehicle independently designed by Lancia engineers before the marque's acquisition by Fiat in 1969. The 2000 was a direct evolution of the Flavia, which it replaced.
The engineering
Under the skin sits 1991 cc Lancia H4. Kerb weight is 1230 kg. The gearbox is a 4-speed ZF Friedrichshafen / ZF manual transmission / manual / 5-speed ZF manual. The layout matters: the engine drives the front wheels, the packaging choice that gives a small car a big cabin. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Where it sits
Where it sits in Lancia's history is not in doubt: the Lancia Flavia came before it; the Lancia Gamma followed it; it was built at Turin, Italy. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Chevrolet Impala, the American Motors Corporation AMC Gremlin, the Renault 5. Its Lancia stablemates include the Lancia 037 and the Lancia Alfa-12HP.
The money
There is no federal ownership record for the Lancia 2000 — it predates the complaint database or was never sold in the United States — so MotorJury publishes no running-cost figure for it. For a car of this age the price is set by the collector market and the condition of the individual example, not by a formula.
