  • Lancia Stratos [video]

    Petrolicious has pubished a video with a very nice Lancia Stratos Stradale – the road version of the world famous rally car.

    This particular blue Stratos Stradale in mint condition is owned by artist Phillip Toledano who managed to beautifully restore the Bertone-designed, WRC-derived model.
    The Stratos Stradale is powered by a 2.4 liter naturally aspirated V6 with 190HP (142 kW) – 0-100 km/h in 4.9 seconds and a top speed of 232 km/h (144 mph). The Lancia Stratos HF (rally version) managed to win the World Rally Championship in 1974, 1975 and 1976.

    Only 492 units were ever produced between 1972 and 1974. The pricing for 2nd hand Stratos starts from €300,000.

  • Lancia Stratos is back on the track

    Lancia Stratos is a real legend. It had been produced since 1972 to 1974 and only 492 units are put on sale.

    The extraordinary Stratos is powered by mid-mounted 2.4 liter V6 with 190bhp, which is enough to catapult the small car to 60mph in under 5 seconds and it doesn’t stop until it reach 233km/h (144mph). Remember, this is in early 70s.

    Now, it is time to give a new life to the legend. The new Lancia Stratos is almost ready. The man behind the project is Michael Stoschek, a German automotive parts supply magnate and keen historic racer. (more…)

    What’s the most beautiful car of all time? A multi-million pound Ferrari or the curvy Jaguar E-type perhaps? No, it is now officially Citroën’s humble DS, the car most famous for saving President De Gaulle from assassination. (more…)
