This 1975 Lancia Stratos, body number 445, chassis number 829AR0-001976 & engine number 829A000-001248 is presented in stunning blue and was first registered in Italy in October 1975. The car produces 192 bhp, by the means of its 2,418 cc DOHC Dino V-6 engine with triple Weber carburettors. The car is equipped with a five-speed manual transmission, front and rear independent suspension with front coil springs and rear MacPherson struts, and four-wheel ventilated disc brakes. The Lancia Stratos is without a doubt one of the most successful and recognisable rally cars in existence. It began in 1970, when Italian design house Bertone arrived at the Turin Motor Show with a radical concept, the Stratos Zero. The Zero looked like a futuristic spaceship and stood out not only to the throngs of media and show-goers but also to Lancia Director of Public Relations Sandro Fiorio. Fiorio and his son, Cesare, Lancia’s then rally team chief, pondered about how a production version of this radical design could be introduced in order to reverse the manufacturer’s relatively staid image and its struggling motorsports division.
