Lambda calculus is beautiful, but modern computers are not lambda machines.

Is there a problem which can be solved in Lambda Calculus that cannot be solved in a Turing Machine?

A Lambda machine can be implemented using a Turing machine, but not the other way around, which means, Lambda calculus is a subset. Correct me if I'm wrong.
