The Lancia Dikappa is the sporty version of the Kappa, which offers improved engine layout. This model was produced for only one year, as it was quickly replaced by the Trikappa. This new Lancia was a considerable evolution mechanically, as it replaced the in-line 4-cylinder engine with a V-shaped 8-cylinder.
