Civilian
In November 1970, Bertone unveiled the original Stratos at the Turin Motor Show, and
the Stratos, designed by Marcello Gandini, was met with great enthusiasm.
In November 1971, a second prototype car was presented to Lancia.
This car featured a completely new design incorporating a mid-engine layout, and
its development goal was to win the WRC title.
The following year, the prototype participated in various rallies, and
preparations for mass production progressed.
In October 1973, production of the Stratos began.
The production car's body features a steel monocoque in the center and
FRP front and rear cowls, which open wide for easy maintenance.
The engine is a V65-degree 6-cylinder DOHC developed for the Ferrari Dino 246GT. The
Stratos's Stratos engine, originally developed for road racing, has been re-tuned to prioritize low-speed torque,
producing a maximum output of 190ps/7,000rpm and a torque of 23.0kg/4,000rpm.
The suspension features a double wishbone at the front and
a MacPherson strut coil at the rear,
designed to allow for a wide range of adjustments even in a production vehicle.
Because the Stratos was developed as a rally car, the interior is equipped with minimal features, and
like its exterior dimensions, it is not spacious. However,
the opinions of the 180cm tall works driver, Sandro Munari,
were incorporated to the greatest extent possible.
500 production cars were manufactured, and
Group 4 homologation was obtained in October 1974.
The Stratos remained popular, and another 500 units were produced.
The Stratos made its debut at the 1974 WRC Round 5, the Sanremo Rally, and
won the manufacturers' title that season.
Its dominance continued into 1975 and 1976, when it entered full competition,
and it achieved the remarkable feat of winning the manufacturers' title for three consecutive years.
Developed as the world's first purpose-built machine, the Stratos
remains a popular supercar and one of the most iconic rally cars of the 1970s.
