The Lancia Stratos HF (for “High Fidelity”) was first previewed as a concept in 1971, and then launched in 1973 as a homologation model for World Rally competition. As such, only the requisite 500 cars were built in 1973 and 1974, though some sources list the actual number of chassis released as 492.
The Stratos was a rakish-looking, wedge-shaped two-seater coupe, with a clear orientation towards rally racing. The front and rear bodywork were fiberglass, over a stamped steel monocoque cabin mated with front and rear space frames. Except for helmet-sized door pockets, storage space was nonexistent, even on the road-going Stradale models.
The rally-spec Stratos featured Ferrari’s marvelous Dino overhead cam V-6 engine, which in the Stratos displaced 2,418cc and delivered 190 hp and 166 lb-ft of torque in the road-going version, and up to 320 hp in the rally version. Two prototypes were built to FIA Group 5 specifications with a single turbocharger making up to 560 hp.
Regardless of power output, the engine was always mounted amidships, and drove a rear-wheel drive five-speed manual transaxle. It’s worth noting that several prototypes were built using the 1,584 cc pushrod engine from the Lancia Fulvia at 114 hp.
Other features on the Stratos included rack and pinion steering, four-wheel disc brakes, four-wheel independent suspension with double wishbones at all four corners with coil springs and standard shock absorbers in front and Chapman strut coil-over shocks in the rear, and an integral roll bar in the chassis design. Even the Stradale road-legal version of the car weighs in at a trim 2,161 lbs while the lightened Rally version weighs just 1,940 lbs.
The Stratos was a huge success in rally racing, winning the championship in the 1974, 1975, and 1976 seasons. The car continued to be raced by privateers into the 1980s, however, and today is a favorite on the vintage rally circuit in Europe and around the world. The Lancia Stratos was the first truly purpose-built rally car, and paved the way for the glory days of Group B rallying in the 1980s and the world rally cars of today.
