FactFiat chairman Gianni Agnelli got a one-off stretched Kappa limousine built just for him.
Lancia's executive car (also badged "Lancia k"), styled by Ercole Spada at I.DE.A (the coupé by Centro Stile Lancia under Enrico Fumia and the Pininfarina-built estate), produced from August 1994 to July 2000 at Rivalta on Type E platform shared with the Alfa Romeo 166; the estate arrived in 1996 and the Maggiora-built coupé in April 1997 (to April 2000). It replaced the Thema and its engines were Fiat's five-cylinder 20V units (2.0, 2.4, turbocharged 2.0), a 2.0 16V turbo four, Alfa Romeo's 3.0 24V V6 and a 2.4 turbodiesel (from 1998 the JTD common rail). Bertone showed the Kayak coupé concept on Kappa mechanicals at Geneva in 1995, and a one-off limousine was built for Gianni Agnelli. The Thesis replaced it.

It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
