The '''Lancia Dikappa''' is a [[Car|passenger car]] produced by [[Lancia]] between 1921 and 1922. It was a factory-offered sport version of the [[Lancia Kappa (1919)|Kappa]] model, with [[overhead valve]]s and a lighter body. 160 were made in the two years of production.{{sfn|Amatori|1992}}

==Specifications==
The Dikappa's ''Tipo 66'' [[inline-four engine]] was based on the Kappa's ''Tipo 64'', but had two parallel overhead valves per cylinder instead of [[side valve]]s.
Displacing 4,940&nbsp;cc, it developed 87&nbsp;hp at 2,300&nbsp;rpm.{{sfn|Amatori|1992}} The Dikappa was offered with a light [[Torpedo (car)|torpedo]] body, of [[Juglans|walnut wood]] construction covered with [[aluminium]] sheet metal;{{sfn|Amatori|1992}} [[wire wheel]]s also contributed to the weight reduction. Top speed was {{convert|130|km/h|mph|abbr=on}}, up from the Kappa's {{convert|125|km/h|mph|abbr=on}}.{{sfn|Amatori|1992}}

The rest of the mechanicals were akin to the Kappa's: [[ladder frame]], [[solid axle]]s on semi-elliptic [[leaf spring]]s front and rear, [[transmission brake]] and rear-wheel [[drum brake]]s, 4-speed [[Manual transmission|gearbox]] and a multi-plate dry [[clutch]].
