Lancia Thesis
The Lancia Thesis is a large luxury sedan produced between 2002 and 2008. It is the successor to the Lancia Kappa and represents the Italian brand's latest attempt to rival the great European premium sedans such as the BMW 5 Series, Audi A6 and Mercedes E-Class.
Officially unveiled at the 2001 Geneva Motor Show and launched on the market in 2002, the Thesis is distinguished by a highly original design that blends classic references with contemporary style. Its luxurious interior, often trimmed in Poltrona Frau leather and precious woods, illustrates Lancia's tradition of craftsmanship.
Despite its qualities and remarkable comfort, the Thesis remained a relatively confidential model on the European market, with a limited production run.
