Lancia Scorpion Description

The Lancia Scorpion is derived from the Lancia Montecarlo. The car is so called because the name Montecarlo was already used in America by Chevrolet.

The Scorpion differs from the Montecarlo in a number of ways:

• Smaller engine (1800 cc) because the 2 liter unit in the Montecarlo had not passed smog tests.
• Different bumper (fender) configuration to meet American crash tests.
• Pop-up headlights

Unlike the Montecarlo, only one production run of Scorpions was made. A total of 1801 were produced between 1976 and 1977.
