Lancia Stratos

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.”

Although, the Lancia Stratos ceased production in the mid-1970s, it has continued to be an iconic rally car, loved by enthusiaist the world over.

The upsurge of historic rallying in the last few years has provided the Stratos with a new lease of life.

In Europe, several Lancia Stratos compete in the FIA Historic Rally Championship, and in the UK, Steve Perez, rallies a Lancia Stratos in the British Historic Rally Championship, and usually competes in his Lancia Stratos each year in the Roger Albert Clark Rally.
