The Lancia Stratos is one of the most special cars ever created . His myth is due to the rally car, not the road car. Moreover, the road car was a “pretext”. It was necessary to build units outside to approve one of the most legendary cars in history competition. Anyway, this is your chance to get one of only 492 road cars produced. Precious Lancia Stratos HF Stradale with echoes of Ferrari will be auctioned by RM Auctions soon in London.
A soulful Ferrari Lancia
The Stratos was designed by Marcello Giandini, one of the best Italian talents of the twentieth century.
This Lancia Stratos 1975 is painted in an unusual blue and is number 445 of the 492 manufactured in Italy, assembled almost at hand. It’s only been three hands since 1975, with its last owner keeping it in its current state since 1994. It is appropriate to indicate that the car has never been restored, simply has not spared one euro in their conservation, and it shows in the state of inside or propeller. The years added to his body an interesting patina.

There is a lot of power, but think that the car barely weighs a ton – 980 kilos to be precise – and then you do not soprenderéis a tip of 230 km / h from 0 to 100 km / h in just over 6 seconds. All the power goes to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual gearbox.
The whole history of this unit has been documented , and still retains the factory IDs. For its interior does not seem to have spent years and their appearance evokes his victories in the World Rally Championship, carrying the legendary colors of Alitalia in its wedge-shaped body. It is expected to reach sales price between 270,000 pounds and 320,000 pounds . Nearly half a million euros for owning a jewel on wheels, whose emotional value is even higher.
