Lancia Stratos

The Lancia Stratos is one of kind car that rained its dominance form 1972-74. Since it was of course Italian it had to be two things: fast and beautiful. It filled both those categories quite well with a mid-mounted Ferrari V6 with 192 hp in a car that weighed 2,161 lbs. In the looks category I will let the pictures describe its magnificence. Back to its performance since it was so light and also had a very short wheelbase at only 85.83 inches it made its name in the racing world both on and off the dirt. With almost 200 hp and a cerb weight of just over 2,000 lbs the Stratos could go from 0-60 mph in just under 5 seconds and get all the way up to 144 mph. The Stratos had about 18 World Rally Championship viceroys roughly from 1974 to 1981 which is pretty impressive because there where only 492 ever made. Long live the Lancia Stratos.
