The Lancia Montecarlo (Type 137) is a Pininfarina-designed two-seater, mid-engined sports car manufactured and marketed by Lancia in Italy for model years 1975-1981, across two series.
The first series (1975-1978) were marketed as the Lancia Beta Montecarlo and the second series (1980-1981) as the Lancia Montecarlo.[3] In both cases Montecarlo was spelled as one word, unlike the city of Monte Carlo. Both series were offered in Coupé and Spider bodystyles, the latter featuring a unique roll-back manually-operated targa style convertible top. A modified version of the Spider was marketed in the United States as the Lancia Scorpion(1976-1977).
Total production spanned from 1974 to 1982 with a hiatus in 1979 — reaching 7,798 total.[4] 3,558 first series and 817 second series targa models were manufactured; along with 2,080 first series and 1,123 second series coupé models — as well as 220 competition models built (Lancia 037).
