The Lancia Megagamma is a small, almost
1978 Turin Motor Show.[3] In retrospect the Megagamma was more influential on later designs than it was itself successful, becoming the "conceptual birth mother of the MPV/minivan movement."[4]
Featuring high seating
flat-4 engine and Bosch L-Jetronic
fuel injection.
Italdesign showed an enduring commitment to exploring
one-box designs, having preceded the Megagamma with the 1976 Alfa Romeo New York Taxi
concept and followed the Megagamma with the 1982 Capsula, 2000 Maserati Buron and 2010 Proton Emas.
The Megagamma itself presaged many attributes of the modern
Chrysler Minivans
.
At the time of its debut, Lancia's parent company, Fiat, viewed the concept as too risky[7] and it did not reach production. However the tall, box-like styling language of the concept would appear again in Giugiaro's later supermini designs for Fiat in the form of the Panda (1980) and Uno (1983).
