In March 1976 Italian car maker Lancia
introduced the Lancia Gamma (Tipo 830) at the Geneva Motor Show. The
Gamma, designed by Pininfarina, was Lancia's new flagship after the
demise of the Lancia 2000. It was the last car developed by Lancia
after the 1969 takeover by Fiat. The front-wheel drive Gamma had a
longitudinally-mounted boxer engine (2.5 L (Gamma 2500) or a 2.0 L
(Gamma 2000)) with a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed
automatic transmission.

In 1977 Lancia introduced a coupe
version, technically identical to the saloon, but with a completely
different Pininfarina body. Sergio Pininfarina and his chief designer
Aldo Brovarone had to follow the wishes of the manufacturer when
designing the Berlina, with the coupe they got carte blanche.
