Lancia Stratos
The Lancia Stratos was an automobile made by Italian manufacturer Lancia.
The Stratos was famous as a rally racing car during the 1970s and 1980s. It was designed by Bertone and based on a concept car first shown at the Turin motor show in 1970. Lancia took on production and produced them over the 1970s.
The Stratos had a distinctive crescent-shaped wrap-around windshield providing maximum forward visibility with almost none to the rear (which was unnecessary for rallying anyway). The body was wedge-shaped, and unusually short and wide, providing maximum traction.
The engine was a mid-mounted 190 bhp (142 kW) 2418 cc V6 taken from the Ferrari Dino.
With only 492 ever made, and many of the cars destroyed in rallies, now this car is very rare.
