A long-wheelbase eighth-series Lancia Lambda Torpedo Lungo, produced between 1928 and 1930, representing one of 3,903 examples from the marque's most successful Lambda series. The Lambda was a landmark in automotive engineering, introducing steel monocoque construction and independent front suspension decades before these became industry standards. Fitted with the enlarged 2,570 cc V-4 engine, eighth-series cars achieved 120 km/h and the type proved competitive, with a short-wheelbase example finishing third overall at the 1928 Mille Miglia.
