Lancia launches in 1984 its top-of-the-range sedan: the Thema. Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, it was part of the cubic trend of the 1980's and was available with engines ranging from the 2-liter four-cylinder to the 150 horsepower V6 PRV. An unexpected variation was presented in 1986: the "8.32", whose objective was to dethrone the references in sports sedans. From the outside, only the five-spoke wheels, the discreet retractable spoiler, the piping running along the body and the yellow 8.32 badge on the grille differentiate the model. The 32-valve, 3.0-liter V8 engine from the Ferrari 308 Quattrovalvole is retained, with power reduced to 215 horsepower. The brakes are taken from the Delta Integrale, front and rear anti-roll bars are added, the Thema Turbo IE gearbox is redesigned and a Bosch ABS box is installed. Rightly considered as a four-door Ferrari, the Thema 8.32 is not a pure sports car, but it provides an outstanding comfort to the sound of the Ferrari V8. Our example is one of the very first models put on the road on January 19th 1987. Navy blue with a light beige alcantara interior, it has the status of its time but it will need some expenses to bring it back to its former glory. In the same hands since 2003, it has only had 2 owners and has just under 20,000 km on the clock! A more important revision will be necessary for the future buyer who wishes to undertake new long distance trips.
