Miniature of a head gasket for Lancia Fulvia V4

Lancia Fulvia V4 Keychain

The Lancia Fulvia V4 is a masterpiece of Italian engineering. Introduced in 1963 in the Fulvia Coupé and sedan, this narrow-angle V4 with inclined cylinders was a true oddity for its time. Ranging from 1.1 to 1.6 liters, featuring twin overhead cams and later HF rally variants, it helped make the Fulvia a genuine classic. Our keychain recreates its head-gasket outline in precise miniature—at first glance elegant, at second glance an unmistakable nod to Lancia culture.

Compact to fit transversely, yet rev-happy and surprisingly powerful, the V4 became legendary in motorsport. The 1.6 HF versions earned their place in history, culminating in a famous Monte Carlo Rally win in 1972. With complex valve gear, twin-carb Weber or Solex setups, and a distinctive soundtrack unlike a V6 or inline-four, the Fulvia engine set itself apart and cemented Lancia’s reputation for innovation.

Among enthusiasts, common topics include carburetor tuning, distributor settings, piston and head variants, and the joy of keeping these engines alive decades later. Even in daily use the Fulvia V4 proved durable when cared for, while HF versions with 115–132 hp thrilled drivers with their lightness, rev-happiness, and rally-bred character. It was more than just an engine—it symbolized Lancia’s bold spirit and individuality.

This keychain is not just an accessory—it’s a small piece of automotive history. A thoughtful gift for Fulvia owners or Lancia enthusiasts, but just as fitting to keep for yourself if you admire Italian rally DNA. At first glance discreet, at second glance an insider’s signal that sparks conversations at classic meets, rally events, or over a coffee with fellow fans.
