Lancia Thema (2011)

The Lancia Thema of 2011 was a segment E saloon built by Lancia from 2011 to 2014, the second generation of the Chrysler 300 rebadged for the European market and sold from October 2011. Shown at the Geneva show in March 2011, it gave Lancia a flagship again after two years without a representative saloon, thanks to the partnership that followed the acquisition of Chrysler Group by Fiat Group. It is a large three volume saloon 5.066 metres long on a 3.052 metre wheelbase with a drag coefficient of 0.32 and, unlike its rivals, it used only V6 engines: the 3.6 litre Chrysler Pentastar petrol of 292 horsepower and two VM Motori 3.0 litre diesels. When it left the price list, Lancia had no flagship for the next twelve years, until the Gamma.
