The Partnership between Pininfarina & Lancia
A short history about the partnership between Pininfarina and Lancia, and the design evolution.
The Lancia Gamma Scala was a Berlina-based four-door sedan with styling similar to the Coupe, and four square headlamps replacing the two rectangular units on the standard cars. It was first shown in Paris in 1980, but again was not taken into production.
The Lancia Gamma Scala is basically a pleasant saloon version derived from the homologous coupé version, a one off with a nice design. This proposal was made by Pininfarina with the hope to bring it to series production. Lancia was not convinced and this speciment remained a one-off. During the year 2007 the Roman collector Francesco Vallucci brought it back to Italy, recovering from England. 2 more concept cars were created by coachbuilder Pininfarina: the Lancia Gamma Spider and the Lancia Gamma Olgiata, a sort of shooting brake. The Lancia Gamma Scala is not the sole example of Pininfarina proposing a sedan version of a Coupè with hopes to mass produce it: in 1974 the Fiat 130 Opera was unveiled based on the production coupé.
