context_page_description: Italian automobile company Lancia was the first to manufacture cars with V4 and V6 engines in series-production. This started with a number of V4-engine families, that were produced from the 1920s through 1970s.
  The Lancia V4 pioneered the narrow-angle V engine design, more recently seen in Volkswagen's VR5 and VR6 engines. By using very shallow V-angles — between 10° and 20° — both rows of cylinders could be housed in an engine block with a single cylinder head, like a straight engine.
  A determining characteristic was the use of overhead camshafts, in which a camshaft would serve the same function for all cylinders — in both cylinder banks.
context_section_description: The V4 returned after the war with the 1953 Appia. It featured an even narrower 10° cylinder bank and just 1.1 L; 66.5 cu in (1,090 cc) of displacement, fitting below Italy's 1.1-liter tax threshold. An initial 38 hp (28 kW; 39 PS) of power grew to 43 hp (32 kW; 44 PS) in 1956. 48 hp (36 kW; 49 PS) was available in 1959.
