Lancia Stratos (1972–1978)
The Lancia Stratos HF is one of the greatest and most dramatic motorsport cars ever homologated for road use. Designed by Bertone and powered by the Ferrari Dino 2.4-litre V6 engine, the Stratos was purpose-built from the outset as a rally car. It won the World Rally Championship in 1974, 1975 and 1976 — a dominant record that cemented its legendary status. The road car is an extreme machine — tiny, mid-engined and demanding to drive. Just 492 road cars were built to meet homologation requirements. The Stratos is one of the most valuable and sought-after classic cars in the world.
