Some Interesting Lancia Strato Facts

Designed Specifically for Rally Racing The Lancia Stratos was the first car ever designed from the ground up for rally racing, giving it a major competitive edge in the World Rally Championship (WRC).

Powered by a Ferrari V6 Engine The Stratos used a 2.4-liter Dino V6 engine, sourced from the Ferrari Dino 246 GT, producing around 190 hp in road versions and up to 320 hp in rally spec.

Revolutionary Wedge-Shaped Design Designed by Bertone, the Stratos had a futuristic, wedge-shaped body with an ultra-short wheelbase, allowing for extreme agility and responsiveness on rally stages.

Triple Consecutive WRC Championships The Lancia Stratos dominated WRC from 1974 to 1976, winning three World Rally Championship titles, solidifying its place as one of the greatest rally cars of all time.

Extremely Lightweight for Maximum Performance Weighing just 980 kg (2,160 lbs) in rally trim, the Stratos’ lightweight fiberglass body and compact chassis made it exceptionally fast and nimble.

Mid-Engine Layout for Better Balance Unlike most rally cars of its era, the Stratos featured a mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout, improving weight distribution and handling, especially on tight rally courses.

Limited Production Numbers Lancia had to produce at least 500 road-going Stratos models to meet homologation requirements, but only 492 units were ultimately built, making it a rare collector’s item.

Extreme Cockpit Design The Stratos' interior was built for performance, featuring minimalistic controls, bucket seats, and a wraparound windshield, giving the driver unmatched visibility.

Banned from WRC by Politics After dominating rallying, Fiat (Lancia’s parent company) shifted focus to the Fiat 131 Abarth, limiting support for the Stratos and ultimately leading to its exit from WRC.

Modern-Day Revival with the New Stratos In 2018, a limited-edition "New Stratos" was developed by Manifattura Automobili Torino (MAT), based on the Ferrari F430 Scuderia, paying tribute to the original legend.

Lancia Stratos Price

The Stratos HF is the most iconic rally car of all time—a 2.4L Ferrari Dino V6 (190–275hp) with wedge-shaped Bertone design, ultra-short wheelbase, and three consecutive WRC titles. Only 492 road cars were built, making originals museum-grade collectibles.
