The Lancia k Coupé. Some people think this Italian eye-catcher is great, others think it is out of proportion. That this noble coupé is still a hot topic of conversation is clear today. That is amazing, because this Lancia only rolled off the production line a little over three thousand times.
In the most current Auto Motor Klassiek issue we shed light on the car from various angles. We describe how the coupé came into being. What inspired it. Of course you will be shown an extensive model history. We will take you through the number of delivery variants. The coupé, which was richly equipped from the start, could also be equipped with a number of luxury accessories, which pleasantly complemented the standard equipment. And technical gadgets that are commonplace today were state of the art at the time of the introduction of the Lancia k Coupé - during the second half of the nineties. Or rather: stato dell'arte. You can read all about it in the story about this coupé variant of the Kappa, as well as a description of the coachbuilder, where this moving creation was built.
Of course, we also describe a real example of the reportage car on duty. The Lancia k Coupé 2.4 20V sprayed in Rosso Power by Dijkstra Classic Cars & Youngtimers plays a prominent role in the story. We drive the car, we describe it and can already reveal that we are deeply impressed by this noble coupé from the so noble Lancia. You can also read the technical specifications.
The eight-page story is therefore packed with impressions and model history, and that was also created thanks to a few experts of this Lancia type. But there is more. Because if you want to read more about a coupé and a convertible, then you have come to the right place with this edition. The Peugeot 504 Cabriolet and the Opel Calibra are also discussed extensively, as are engines from Honda and BMW. And speaking of Honda: there is also a story about the N360. Furthermore, you know of course: the regular columns are traditionally back. Want to know why you should not miss the current edition as an enthusiast? And not yet a subscriber?

I had a black coupe, a 2.4 with blue(!) tinted glass and tobacco-colored Poltrona Frau leather. Wonderful car. And like every Lancia, you immediately have the feeling of driving something very special. Traded in because of family expansion. Two weeks later to the dealer to buy it back; the car had already been sold to a buyer and unfortunately he didn't sell it anymore.
I drove a Kappa myself for 2 years. A 3.0 V6 automatic station with almost all options and in white, which was still a difficult color in those years. What a machine and what quality. Fast, quiet and super comfortable and there was actually only one disadvantage, it drank like a Templar. Fond memories of it.
