Notes Engine  12° V-type - "Variante 1016" engine. The cylinder head of the Variant 1016 engines was prepared by the Lancia Esperienze Meccaniche Department, following the specific requirements of the Reparto Corse. Final assembly and racing preparation were completed at the factory competition workshop. These heads can be identified by the distinctive ESPER-MEC stamp beneath the intake manifold, and by the 1600 HF marking followed by the number 45 on the exhaust side. Built in 1968 in very limited numbers, they were fitted to some official works cars and remain exceptionally rare today. Engines equipped with these heads carried very low serial numbers, stamped on the flywheel housing (often below 100, such as 1021 or 1052), along with the marking VAR. 1016 or V.1016. The stamping itself was carried out by engineer Gianni Tonti, responsible for the Reparto Corse racing preparation. Unlike the standard HF heads used on the 1200, 1300 and 1600 versions, the Esper-MEC cylinder heads do not bear the usual three-number code in the coil ignition insert area. The Esperienze Meccaniche workshop was the special in-house facility where Lancia tested new components and developed its future engines.
