The Lancia Lambda torpedo is one of the Lancia entries the open record knows by name and by date — in 1929, and by little else. That is not nothing: a name in the catalogue is where a car's story starts to be recoverable.

Family and rivals

The cars a buyer would have weighed it against include the Bugatti Type 46, the Bugatti Type 35 B, the Peugeot 201. Its Lancia stablemates include the Lancia 037 and the Lancia 2000.

Owning one today

There is no federal ownership record for the Lancia Lambda torpedo — 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.

The record

The open record for the Lancia Lambda torpedo carries no verified engine, output, weight or price yet. MotorJury does not fill gaps with guesses; this entry gives the model a home in the catalogue and grows as sourced specifications and photographs arrive. Corrections: corrections@motorjury.com.
