1994 Lancia Thema Turbo LS 16v from UK and Ireland - Comments

Minor electrical problems and belt services.

On the whole a wonderful car that's a match for all, but the fastest vehicles.

Enables four adults to travel fast and with complete anonymity, because nobody knows what it is.

I agree about the anonymity, these cars drive and go so well, but just look. well, dull! And I am a fan of them, but at least no-one feels that they have to race you because you have a fast car, mostly only you know that you do and, to my mind, that is enough.

I own a L reg 1994 model thema turbo. I love it to pieces. It's just so fast and so comfortable. I leave BMW'S and Mercs behind, I love the feeling of having over 200BHP at my feet! The only cars that can keep up are Impreza Turbos, but hey, my car cost 1/10th of the price! :)

Hi, I'm a Lancia fan from Budapest, Hungary.

Been driving Lancias since ages. My first Lancia was a Dedra from the 2.0T 8v series. I'm about racing.. but I do it without adrenalin blindfould. My Dedra had it all. Provided Confort and also, kickded ass on the road when need arose. After some alterations it conveyed 210 hps which sound modest in comparison to my current roadster, a thema turbo 2.0T 16v LX, which spins its wheels so fast, that only those heavy evo's can put on the gloves against it. Righ now it's on 240-250 hps. Eased exhaust system, direct filters with cold air intake tunnels, and "chip" tuning play major role in the increase of power, which anyways is 201 hps fight off the assembly line for this type. With some changes, the sluggishnes in the indruductory acceleration righ on sarting the vehicle can be eliminated... but one has to know how to drive the turbo Lancias. My passegngers..somethimes wheeties from backseat experience were impressed and scared to death by the acceleration the moment the turbo starts its work. I can oly compare it to the jet feeling on arirlains on take off..Amazint even in 4th speed. The car's absulutely worth the price and gives you a driving experience only real big cars can. I competed all kinds of big marks of those german dinasty. They were humiliated to dust. Even the S8 Audi.. at 240 km/h speed pulled down..disturbed..not understanding what's goin'on.

Impressas from the 280 hps series are match and challenge, but passengers turn neck at high vibration when racing with impressas. Ine one: Lancia 2.0 turbos are great, conrollable an fun to drive vehicles.. and the fuel consumption is acceptable..Anyways. Whoever buys this care.. will not care about consumption, just 'cos what it gives back in exhange is invaluable...Now take care. P.
