Specifications

The Kappa's Tipo 64 side valve inline-four was Lancia's first engine with a separate cylinder head, as opposed to the earlier monobloc designs.[1] Displacing 4,940 cc, it produced 70 hp at 2,200 rpm for a top speed of 125 km/h (78 mph).[1]

The separate body was built on a ladder frame; front and rear there were solid axles on semi-elliptic leaf springs, brakes were on the transmission and on the rear wheels. The transmission was a 4-speed gearbox with a multi-plate dry clutch.

La Kappa era il primo nuovo modello realizzato dalla Lancia dopo la prima guerra mondiale: lanciata nel 1919, disponeva di un motore a 4 cilindri molto simile a quello montato sulla precedente 25/35 HP Theta, quindi altrettanto potente (70 HP): la vettura risultava addirittura leggermente più veloce (125 km/h contro 120).
