The Lancia Stratos is known as one of the most amazing and awesome rally cars of all time. It’s wedge shape, screaming engine, and brutal performance were hallmarks of a car that was really defining in the world of rally racing. People have had all kinds of modern takes on it, but this one, which is the latest could be the best ever, even if it is kind of a wolf in snazzy clothing. See, you are really looking at a re-worked Ferrari F430 that has ben rebodied and re-worked to look, feel, sound, and haul ass in ways that the OG version could never hope to achieve.
We have no idea what these things cost but like most stuff in this genre, if you have to ask you cannot afford it anyway, right? The screaming F430 engine, the short little wheelbase, and the dynamic performance of the car shown in this video makes us want to hop a plane tomorrow, sell everything we own and try to wrangle one.
You’ll see the car cruising, you’ll see it on the dyno, and you will most importantly hear it being worked hard in those scenes. We know that the video is short on data, but do you really NEED data to fall in love with a car like this? It’s the experience, the unrelenting aggression of the look, and numbers on a page don’t define it, although you know they are all brutally good.
Italian super cars don’t typically slay us like this but wow, we’re completely in love with this tweaked hot rod.
