Although the production life of the Stratos was very short, its impact on the sport of rallying was immense. It was the first purpose-built rally car, and arguably the most beautiful, and led to the development of the immensely powerful Group B rally cars, the still-born Group S cars, and now the current set of WRC ( World Rally Championship) cars.
In the words of Cesare Fiorio, whose dream became reality, "With the Stratos, we had made a tremendous car, frightening other manufacturers, so that some dropped out."
