The Lancia Scorpion is actually an imposter. An imitation, if you will.
You see, in Europe, this car was called the Beta Montecarlo and had 120
horsepower. Due to regulations, when the car came to America, the car
was forced down to a measly 81, and because Chevy already had Monte
Carlo locked up, they went with Scorpion (we actually like that name
better anyway). If you're a movie buff, you caught us and might actually
know this car. Remember the other car besides the Bug in Herbie? Yeah,
that was one of these.
