The Lancia Thema, launched in 1984, marked a pivotal moment in the Italian automaker's history. This executive saloon was a radical departure from Lancia's previous offerings, eschewing the traditional rear-wheel drive setup for a more modern front-wheel drive layout. The Thema was born from a joint venture between Fiat and Chrysler, leveraging the American company's expertise in front-wheel drive technology and platform sharing. This collaboration resulted in the Thema sharing its underpinnings with the Chrysler K-car platform, albeit with significant modifications and Italian styling. The Thema's exterior showcased a blend of Italian elegance and American practicality, featuring sharp lines, a sleek profile, and a spacious interior.

Underneath the stylish facade lay a range of powerful and sophisticated engines, including a 1.8-liter turbocharged engine, a 2-liter naturally aspirated unit, and a flagship 2.8-liter V6. The Thema offered a range of transmissions, including a five-speed manual and a four-speed automatic, catering to diverse driver preferences. The car's interior was a testament to Italian craftsmanship, boasting high-quality materials, comfortable seating, and a range of innovative features for its time. The Thema was a technological marvel, incorporating features like power steering, air conditioning, and even an optional sunroof. This luxurious and technologically advanced sedan aimed to compete with the best European executive cars of the era, challenging established players like BMW and Mercedes-Benz.
