The new Lancia Thema has already been available on the European market for a couple of days now, and it’s time to see how Fiat Group hopes to revive the Lancia name without pumping a huge amount of money into the development of completely new vehicles.
The Thema will be sold across Europe with the exception of the UK and Ireland, where the actual Chrysler 300 will be marketed. But let’s focus on the Lancia, some interesting video footage having been released recently. The way this presence-rich executive bruiser/cruiser holds the road makes us want the V8 version on the road in Europe as well.
A total of three engine choices are available at the moment, and these include the award-winning (in America) 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 with 286 hp, which can be combined with the new eight-speed automatic transmission for a respectable 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) time of 7.7 seconds and a top speed of 240km/h (149mph).
