The Lancia Gamma (Tipo 830), stylised as Lancia γ, is an executive car (E-segment in Europe) manufactured and marketed by the Lancia subdivision of Fiat. Following its debut at the 1976 Geneva Motor Show[1] as Lancia's new flagship, the Gamma was marketed as a 4-door fastback saloon known as the Berlina (1976-1984) and as a 2-door coupé (1977-1984), both designed by Pininfarina – with 15,272 and 6,790 manufactured, respectively.[3] The Gamma superseded the Lancia Flavia.

The fastback style of the Berlina featured a conventional boot at the rear, rather than a hatchback. At the car's press launch Pininfarina said a hatchback was avoided to save the inconvenience to back seat passengers when luggage is loaded, ostensibly draughts.[4]
