What Powers the Lancia Thesis?
Cars need engines to move, and the Lancia Thesis had several different types. These engines varied in size and power, offering different driving experiences. The power of an engine is often measured in "horsepower" (hp).
Petrol Engines
The Lancia Thesis offered a few different petrol (gasoline) engines:
- 2.0 TB: This engine had a turbocharger, which helps it produce more power (185 hp).
- 2.4: A slightly larger engine with 170 hp.
- 3.0 V6: A V6 engine means it has six cylinders arranged in a "V" shape, giving it more power (215 hp).
- 3.2 V6: The most powerful petrol engine, also a V6, producing 230 hp.
Diesel Engines
Diesel engines are often more fuel-efficient. The Thesis had modern diesel options:
- 2.4 JTD: An early diesel engine with 150 hp.
- 2.4 Multijet: A more advanced diesel engine, available with either 170 hp or 185 hp.
