The Lancia Stratos HF was a successful rally car during the 1970s and early 1980s. It started a new era in rallying as it was the first car designed from scratch for this kind of competition.
The production of the 500 cars required for homologation in Group 4 commenced in 1973 and the Stratos was homologated for the 1974 World Rally Championship season. The car won the 1974, 1975 and 1976 championship titles in the hands of Sandro Munari and Björn Waldegård.
The Stratos weighed 880 kilograms and the power output with the Ferrari Dino 2.4 L V6 engine was around 275 hp @7400 rpm.
