  • 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.

  • 6 Bertone concept cars will be auctioned

    Six iconic concept cars by Bertone will be sold at the RM Auctions, which specializes in rare classics. The reason is the bankruptcy of the Italian design house.

    The vehicles are just amazing – a 1963 Chevrolet Testudo, a 1967 Lamborghini Marzal, a 1970 Lancia Stratos HF Zero, a 1974 Lamborghini Bravo, a 1978 Lancia Sibilo and 1980 Lamborghini Athon.

    The Lamborghini Marzal and the Lancia Stratos HF Zero are expected to sell for between €1 000 000 and €1 800 000.

    1963 Chevrolet Testudo boasts 2.7 litre six-cylinder engine with 142BHP (106 kW).

    1967 Lamborghini Marzal is powered by a 2.0 litre 175BHP (130 kW) in-line six-cylinder engine mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox.

    1970 Lancia Stratos HF Zero has a a 1.6 litre V4 engine with 132BHP (98 kW).

    1978 Lancia Sibilo, there is no information about the car.

    1980 Lamborghini Athon is powered by 3.0 litre V8 with 260BHP (194 kW). The car was never intended to be put into production, because of Lamborghini’s financial troubles at the time sealing its fate.

    The auction will take place at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este in Como, Italy, on May 21.
