floor-integrated transmission tunnel Explanation: or transmission tunnel integrated into the floor, if you prefer a longer version. From Lancia history, Google hits, etc. it seems the Lambda was the first to have the transmission tunnel running lengthways in the floor, between driver and passenger. "His (Vincenzo Lancia's) creation (the Lambda) was essentially a large U-shaped tube with cutouts for the doors, a transmission tunnel integrated into the floor, a luggage compartment at the rear, and finally, strategically made holes to lighten it up further.
