The Lancia 12 HP, later known as Lancia Zeta, is a passenger car produced by Lancia between 1912 and 1914. It was intended to be Lancia's smaller offering, positioned below the 4-litre 20/30HP Delta and Epsilon models. The Zeta did not prove a success, and production is estimated at just 34 examples (for comparison, 351 20/30 HP Epsilons were made in 1911–1912); none have survived.[1]
