The Autoblinda Lince ("Lynx") was an Italian armored car used by the Italian Social Republic between 1943-1945 during World War II. The Lince was a copy of the British Daimler Dingo and was primarily used for reconnaissance. Its armament consisted of a single 8 mm machine gun. Some 250 vehicles were built in all. The vehicle was also employed by German forces as Panzersphwagen Lince 202(i).

The Lancia Lince's superstructure was similar to the original Daimler scout car's one.

Frontally, the armor was angled, covering the front axle and mechanical parts. Over it was a vertical armored plate in which a view slot and a circular slot were cut. The first one for the driver, while the latter was for the installation of the spherical support for the armament. All the front plates were 18 mm thick except the vertical one, which was 30 mm thick, like on the Daimler, a considerable thickness for a scout car.

On the front, it had two towing hooks, two headlights between the mudguards, usually covered, and a rectangular tool box for sapper tools and spare parts. On the right mudguard was the horn.

The Lancia Lince's fighting compartment was octagonal-shaped with 12 mm thick armored plates. It had a total of three slits (apart from the driver's view port): two for the driver, on the right side and on rear, and one for the commander, above the access hatch. On the right side was the spare tire support.

The folding roof was made of 5 mm thick armored plates and had a bulge near the armament. This was because the main armament was fed by top magazines and the roof would have interfered with the gun depression. The bulge was identical to the Autoblinde AB's one.
