The Lancia Kappa is a passenger car produced by Lancia between 1919 and 1922. Lancia's first post-war model, it was an updated version of the earlier Theta.

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. With a capacity of 4940cc and a power output of 70hp and a quoted top speed of 78mph.

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.

 

This Laudette styled car has a very early version of an intercom which allowed pasengers to give instructions to the driver
