Italdesign Хетчбек в хронологічному порядку

Lancia presented 4×4 prototype at the 1982 Turin Motor Show. The prototype kept the original model's basic mechanicals, but it had a 1600 cc engine supercharged by turbocompressor, delivering an output of 130 HP. Permanent transmission to all four wheels was obtained by adding a torque-splitter with longitudinal drive for rear-wheel transmission to the original gearbox-differential unit. A two-section shaft transmits drive to the self-locking rear differential. The most important novelty from the Lancia Experimental Workshop was this torque-splitter differential which was inserted into the engine/transverse gearbox unit and the crown wheel and pinion for transmission to the rear wheels.

Автомобиль построен по заказу швейцарца Роланда Аффольтера (Roland Affolter). За основу был взят Volkswagen Golf (Typ 17), в который установили двигатель и трансмиссию от Porsche 928 S.
